Artemis Harem Pocket Pant

Meet bold and fearless "Artemis": a draped harem-style pant made of silky and sustainable bamboo knit, with hidden pockets for all your tiny incidentals. Shown here with a myriad of Kaia Gee Goddesswear tops, and made to order, just for you, in your size and choice of color. 

There are enough things in life that can hold us back from realizing the fullest expression of ourselves. Our pants shouldn't be one of them. The Artemis is my favorite pant for tromping around town. Due to the dropped crotch, it has all the airiness and freedom of a skirt, with the convenience of banded ankles. Pair it with sleek sandals in the summer, and boots in the winter. Wear with a top in the same color for a chic, tonal look that can be dressed up or down, or go casual with a basic crop top. With no pinching elastics or restriction of movement, the Artemis swishes and sighs with every step. The waistband hugs your natural waist, harnessing the four-way stretch inherent in this sumptuous fabric for maximum comfort with no additional elastic, and the dramatic draped pockets exaggerate the hips, making the waist look even tinier. (I stole this trick from the Victorians. The Victorians would pad the hips and bust to give the illusion of a slimmer waist. You have to give it to them, they knew how to play with proportions! You can see this technique incorporated with my Artemis pant and Isis Cowl top designs.) This play with proportions accentuates the waist and gives freedom for women with already stately hips and rear, and adds curve for women who are slimmer through the hips.

The Inspiration:

Artemis is Goddess of the Hunt and Moon. Aligned with nature and wild animals, Artemis fiercely protects those who need her with an unwavering heart and tenacious vigor. 

Why Bamboo?

I chose bamboo for its excellent breathability and sustainability. Honestly, I won't wear anything else these days. Because bamboo grows so quickly and easily, its impact on the environment is minuscule in comparison to other textiles. It's also anti-microbial and temperature regulating, meaning it can be worn through all seasons. (Though perhaps not for a deep-winter hike.) And it feels decadently soft. 

Why Only Custom-Made?

All Kaia Gee pants are created for you, to fit your exact waist. Why? Because I intentionally designed them without an elastic band. Instead, the natural four-way stretch of this sumptuous fabric is harnessed, creating a delicious second-skin feel, with no pinching, binding, or constricting. This is possible when you have a perfect fit, and the result is a feeling of such freedom because there is nothing holding you back. We also customize the pant for those whose waist and hips may require different pant sizes. (Hourglass ladies, I see you!) Height is also accounted for. Having something that fits you perfectly, made for your unique shape, is the way clothing used to be, back when there were only a few items in one's closet, and everything was bespoke by your local tailor or seamstress. This is why everything is made for you, and why there is a wait period. My philosophy is: if it fits you beautifully, you will feel even more like the powerful Goddess you are. 

How Do I Get You My Measurements?

I ask that you kindly put your measurements in the notes at checkout. I'll need to know your Waist, Hips, and Outseam. (An Inseam measurement is not necessary for this particular pant, due to the dropped crotch.) There's a handy measurement graphic in the photo gallery with instructions on how to measure yourself. (You can measure alone, but having a partner is handy to accurately measure your inseam. If you can't quite get it yourself, let me know your height in the notes at checkout. I can estimate the length off that.) When ordering, peruse my general sizing chart in the photo gallery to find your base size. If you have a bust, waist, and hip that fall into different size categories, please select that size that correlates to your waist size when checking out. 

What Colors Do You Have?

I currently have six colors to choose from. 

In 95% Bamboo and 5% Spandex: Black, Ivory, Forest Green. These colors are silkier and slinkier. They work especially beautifully for my Freya and the Aphrodite pants. *Please note, due to the light color, the Artemis Pant in Ivory will come with an added drape in front and back, similar to the Freya Wide-Leg Pant, for added coverage (and to banish any potential visible panty lines.)

In 66% Bamboo, 28% Organic Cotton, and 6% Spandex: Terra Cotta, Dusky Lavender, and Violet. These colors have a bit more body, and a cozier softness, due to the addition of Organic Cotton. They work especially beautifully for my Artemis Harem Pocket Pant.

When Will My Pants Arrive?

At this time, the estimated ship date for your Custom Goddesswear is 4-6 weeks. Art takes time, and I often have to create new pattern pieces to match an individual's body. I'm so grateful for your patience. This is slow fashion at its finest. *Update: My Black, Ivory, and Forest Green fabrics have already Sold Out, and are back-ordered. Please allow 8 weeks for the creation of Goddesswear in these colors. 

How Do I Care for My Custom Goddesswear?

Machine wash cold on delicate cycle, and lay flat to dry so your Goddesswear retains the memory and custom fit of your figure. Heat from dryers, while oh-so-convenient, breaks down the integrity of the natural stretch in any fabric, so that they disintegrate much faster. Laying flat to dry takes a little extra intention and time, but it's worth it to preserve your custom garment. 

Do You Accept Returns?

Every garment is made specifically for you, and I often create individual patterns specifically for you, based on your measurements. Therefore, there are no returns on Custom Goddesswear, but I do my utmost to help you order with confidence by providing you with the most comprehensive measuring system I can, as well as a plethora of inspiration images. 

Is There A Way to See the Fabrics in Person?

Yes! For those of you who, like me, are a tactile person, I've created a Goddess Starter Kit you can purchase. Inside you'll receive fabric samples of my current colors, as well as a fabric measuring tape for taking your measurements with ease, flyers with my measurement guide, and a coupon for free shipping off your first order of Kaia Gee Goddesswear.
