Anyway. Those of us that love to wear dresses are always aware of the 'skirt blows up and shows everyone your bizness' danger. While store-bought tap pants or pettipants aren't that expensive, they can be made at home easily. And with cuter fabric, which is of utmost importance.
A while back I made bloomers from this free Colette pattern. The original post can be read here. While I still like the bloomers, they are rather voluminous and can be bulky when worn under a dress.
I figured I could use the same pattern to make tap pants. And I was right! It only needed one small modification - just hemming the legs instead of inserting ribbons or elastic.
I use one piece of elastic in the waist instead of two, as the pattern suggests.
A plain old hem on the legs means there is less bunching and bulkiness - they can be easily worn as tap pants under a skirt or dress.
I promise this is the last time I'll talk about underwear on here. For awhile, anyway.
