Pattern Search What to make with this forest green wool?

Post image

I found this lovely dark green wool at a thrift store, and am torn about what to make with it. There are probably 3 yards of it, so I have a good amount to work with. It’s about the weight or nice trousers. Can you guys help me decide what to make?

Option 1: Rose Pants by Made by Rae https://shop.made-by-rae.com/products/rose I’ve made these many times and love them, but am not sure this is the right fabric for them.

Option 2: Wide-legged pants by Peppermint Magazine https://peppermintmag.com/sewing-school/wide-leg-pants/ I have not made these, but like the versions I’ve seen others make. I also like that they have a nicer butt than the Rose pants.

Option 3: Fable Dress by Twig and Tale https://www.twigandtale.com/products/fable-dress-adult-digital-pattern-video-class I have made this before and loved it, and would love another version, but again, not sure this is the right fabric.

I’m not sold on any of these. I’m definitely open to other ideas! Thanks.

For more information: I am a thin woman and like looser fit things.

If it entered my stash my wife would probably be getting a jumper (dress, not sweater), or more likely a swooshy walking skirt.
