Wrap-Around, Reversible Trousers  ZUMA

ZUMA is a very simple trouser design that offers many variations. The wrap-around can be made so that the wrap effect is visible from the front or from the back, or even with one leg wrapping in the front and one wrapping in the back. Furthermore, using two thin fabrics, ZUMA can be made into a reversible pair of pants; one reverse side with the wrap visible at the front, the other side with the wrap visible at the back. Worn either way, the reverse-side fabric will peek from behind the wrap pieces.

ZUMA can be sewn in several lengths, for example, as a full-length trouser to wear over boots, or a summery and easy-going Capri-length pair of gauchos. This pair of wrap-around trousers is deisgned with an elastic waistband to make dressing easy. The variable waist allows for a perfect fit on slim as well as chubby girls. Moreover, the large areas of the ZU-MA pieces offer a blank canvas, so to speak, for appliqué, fabric painting, embroidery or other decoration.
