Frequently Asked Questions

What fabric drapes well for wide-leg trousers?

Rayon twill, crepe, linen, or lightweight wool all create beautiful drape. Avoid stiff fabrics that will add bulk to the wide leg.

How wide is the leg opening?

The leg width is proportional to your hip measurement and designed for a balanced, flattering silhouette. The pattern drafts the width automatically based on your body.
