These classic high-waisted, pleated-front, ultra-wide-legged trousers include a zipper fly, slanted pockets, back darts for shaping, belt loops, and a sash. They can go from day to night with glamour and elegance, and they look good on all body shapes. Sew them in a drapey fabric so they billow and move with you.
Suggested Fabrics
This pattern works best with light- to medium-weight drapey woven fabrics like cotton rayon, linen, silk, tropical wool, or crepe.
Notions
Coordinating thread, light- to medium-weight fusible interfacing, one zipper (9" or longer), one trouser-style hook and eye closure, one 5/8" button (doesn’t show from outside of trousers), and hem tape (optional).
