is a French word that means the lower part of a garment or knee-breeches. &nbsp;They have been fashionable since Henry III made them popular at court in France in the latter part of the 1500s and were worn mostly by the upper class. &nbsp;Later, in the time leading up to the French revolution in the 18th century, the lower classes who wouldn't have worn culottes became known as &#8220;sans-culottes&#8221; or literally &#8220;without short pants&#8221; &#8212; a term these partisans and revolutionaries embraced as they manned the street barricades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two things I really like about this culottes tutorial and pattern &#8211;there is an option of adding front pockets to the pants without adding bulk to the tummy and you can easily transform them into long pants by adding length at the hem.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Untitled-design66-500x375.jpg\" alt=\"culottes tutorial\" class=\"wp-image-26136 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Untitled-design66-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Untitled-design66-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Untitled-design66-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Untitled-design66.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px;
