There’s the print (item 1), nestled between the orchid knit (item 9) and the tweed (item 5). Beneath that row of fabrics you can see the pants fabrics: from left to right, the knit-woven hybrid, Bengaline, and the ponte de roma (item 6).

I don’t have three pairs of neutral pants in the plan, but I am so delighted with my Elle pants that I was planning to make some more. The knit/woven hybrid, sure. It’s a weird slippery fabric, but it’s in a nice charcoal gray. But the Bengaline, though it seems like a nice enough color to go with the print, is not just slippery but also shiny.

The photo below may show more clearly how it gleams.

For a cocktail party, maybe, or an evening at the theater?
