To lounge
The Collins Concise Dictionary includes the following definition for lounge,
But back in the real world, where I reside at least some of the time, these lounge pants are perfect. Just the thing to pull on in the evening and I have been wearing them in the mornings when I practise my yoga. I am less embarrassed when I have to greet the postman (who invariably has something to be signed for when I am stuck in downward dog) and some days it is something of a wrench to change out of them at all!
I bought the fabric for these some months ago and only wish I had got around to making them sooner. The pattern is a breeze to follow and I cannot believe I have made only one pair, because......making lounge pants is addictive.
Incidentally, does anyone else out there still use a real dictionary or are the rest of you all on-line? I love my dictionary, I pick it up to check one word and and 15 minutes later find myself completely and delightfully side-tracked. I am pleased to report that I no longer look up the naughty words though!

My Amy Butler lounge pants are ideal for walking, sitting, leaning. They are very at home sitting on the sofa but I think in a beautiful silk they might pass muster on board a ship, I read recently in Vogue that pyjama style suits are to quite the thing next season. I like to imagine myself lounging against an elegant pillar, sipping my martini, making small talk with the captain (yes, in my head I am living in the 1940s at this point and looking like a sort of Greta Garbo perhaps).
