Bread Lounge Pants
Course: Apparel Construction
Designer: Alexis Abbey
Year: 2023
The Bread Lounge Pants were created as a cozy and humorous take on everyday comfort-wear. The goal was to apply core garment construction skills (pattern alignment, seam finishing, and waistband application) while using a novelty print fabric to reflect personality and creativity.
Inspired by comfort, warmth, and everyday indulgence, the design uses a plush fleece printed with various bread patterns. The choice of fabric connects to the feeling of coziness and nostalgia associated with both food and comfort-wear. A small embroidered “BREAD” patch adds a playful, handmade accent.
