THE TROUSERS
Jackie is a semi tailored loose-fit trouser designed to sit comfortably just below the natural waist, featuring pleats at the waist, slanted pockets and a gently tapered leg. Inspired by the easy fit menswear slacks of the nineties, and nodding fondly also to early modern women’s trouser styles of the thirties, these trousers are designed to fit a vast array of bodies and compliment diverse expressions! Jackie looks equally chic dressed down with a chunky sweater and beat up sneaks, or glammed up with a silk shirt and killer heels!
Multi-sized sewing pattern from UK 6 / US 2 up to UK 24 / US 20
This pattern can be printed on 4x A0 copyshop files, or 63x A4 / US letter sheets.
