Almost done -- Sailor Pants!
Today I almost finished my sailor pants, aka fall-front bell-bottomed trousers.
I have two things left to do -- hem them, and adjust the placement of the waistband buttons/buttonholes. It turns out where it looked like they should go makes the pants altogether too tight, even with the rear lacing let out.

Detail of the fall-front, buttoned closed
I have to move the center waistband buttons and extend the buttonholes. It's a little too tight at the moment, even with the back laces all the way loose
rear lacing inset on the trousers
Trousers, fall-front unbuttoned to show the facing
trousers, completely unbuttoned to show facings
