It’s the last day of the @munaandbroad second anniversary celebration and todays prompt is “dream M and B”.

My absolute dream is the perfect pair of wool trousers with a pleated front with wide and tapered leg views.

I have these wool suitings that are just waiting to be made into these as-yet non existent pants. Clockwise from top left: plain weave superfine wool, herringbone stripe, thrifted prince of wales-ish wool blend, wool cashmere blend

I’m dressed for a @munaandbroad occasion.

The occasion is that I’m casting a spell on the fashion and sewing industries to improve their size inclusivity. As you can see, the wind is already whipping up for my double double toil and trouble. You know, because #SlowFashionWitch

Today’s prompt for the @munaandbroad anniversary

Today’s prompt for the @munaandbroad anniversary giveaway is “special”!

I chose this #MedlowRobe as my special garment. Hotel and spa robes never fit me properly so I wanted to make one with a deep, deep overlap with no chance of accidental exposure. And then I chose this gorgeous heavyweight copper tencel twill to sew it up in and it is super luxurious. So even though it’s not for any special occasion, I feel as though it makes my everyday feel a bit more special.

Day 3 of the #munaandbroad 2nd anniversary celebrations!

It feels as though I should be posting at least a 3 piece @munaandbroad outfit, and I could do that since basically all of my wardrobe is M and B now. But when I thought about it, I wanted to post something that feels me and was conceived as an outfit.

This is a matching set of #GlebePants and a #WaikerieDress (with snaps) made from gorgeous cotton crepe purchased from @winnipegsews. I love that the pieces work well as separates but when I wear them together I feel great. Just like myself and also a little more put together than usual.

Day 2 of the #MunaAndBroad 2nd anniversary giveawa

Day 2 of the #MunaAndBroad 2nd anniversary giveaway!

Todays prompt is “Tried and True!” How could I go past my beloved #GlebePants as my TnT? This was the first pattern I made for myself after a hiatus and it’s still perfect for me. I have made it twice in black linen (the first pair was really not officially Glebe - no waistband and shorter rise and those recently died), black cotton crepe, and the Rooibos viscose linen noil I posted yesterday. I have also made some wool ones and a pair of corduroy but it’s really the black ones I reach for. Because #SlowFashionWitch.

Of all my pants, they are in the heaviest rotation because they are the comfiest. Because there’s no taper, there’s never any fabric close to your legs to bind or tangle. I like them for the couch and I like them for work. I like them for the couch after work.

Image: a fat Asian woman is shown in eight tiled photos. In each photos she’s wearing wide leg pants. Her hair is different in each one. They are clearly from different time periods.

It’s the @munaandbroad 2nd anniversary! We have some fab giveaways for you but I thought it would be fun to ride along! I’ve already seen a few posts and the joy evident in the photos really touches me. Check out the #munaandbroad hashtag!

These were my first official MB make (I think! Or at least the first I photographed!). My original black linen pants weren’t the final pattern so I don’t really count them.

For this pair I used @blackbirdfabrics #bfviscoselinennoil in the colour rooibos. It’s a little more brown than in these pics. I also bound the pocket edges and did flat felled seams throughout. I don’t reach for these as much as my linen ones because they require ironing or steaming after washing and I am lazy.
