These slim fit, ankle-length pants have a side zipper and pockets with a full pocket stay to maintain a smooth front. They’re classic in a solid stretch twill, but they show real personality in a plaid or print!

These extra wide leg pants use a clever box pleat gore along the sides, creating a slim silhouette through the waist and hip that expands into a dramatic sweep at the hemline. They make the cutest pair of shorts, too!

The Summer Vacation Pants are wonderful in a lightweight cotton or linen, but also shine in a silky, sultry fabric like silk satin for relaxing at home.

Make them from a sturdy fabric like silk matka for more structured pants, a breezy fabric like rayon for a drapey look, or a light-weight wool flannel for warm winter wear. They are such a versatile new addition to your wardrobe!

Meet the Ginger Sailor Pants! For this design, I was inspired by none other than fashion icon Ginger Rogers. The singer/dancer/actress rose to fame in the 1930s, staring in over 70 films over her four-decade career. While your first thought of Ginger may be of her  floating over the dance floor in a silk gown, her casual styles continue to influence fashion today. Fred Astaire even said of her, “Girls love to wear slacks when learning or rehearsing a dance. Ginger always wore them for rehearsal. In fact,…I [was] so used to seeing Ginger on the rehearsal stage in slacks that one day when she showed up in a dress, we didn’t know who she was.”

These classic sailor pants are a year-round staple. We know you love having different options, so we created a traditional version with a functional front flap as well as an easy zip-up-the-back style that pairs perfectly with the Lamour, Landis, Liz, and other Charm bodices to create a sublime nautical-style jumpsuit or romper. There are so many possibilities! — xoxo, Gertie

Inspired by Audrey Hepburn’s beatnik look in Funny Face, this is a coveted vintage style that will become an everyday wardrobe essential. Choose from a chic ankle-length slim pant or make the capri-length version, and go full matador style with pocket trim and a hem lacing detail. I designed these pants to be ultra-comfy in stretch fabric (secret sweatpants, anyone?) but they also have a tailored feel with crisp curved pockets. The pocket stay makes sure that there’s no gaping, just a sleek look to flatter your curves. (You can even cut the pocket stay from power mesh for a little extra control!) I hope you love this practical yet dapper addition to our pattern library.

These ’40s style trousers are so elegant, they’ll have you feeling like a Hollywood icon. With a beautiful pleated front, a generously cut cuffed leg, and roomy pockets, these trousers are both functional and flattering. Choose between a high shaped waistband (our special side darts give you an extra-curvy look) or a simple straight waistband. For even more options, pair the Lucille Trousers with the Stanywck Skirt bib and suspenders for a dunagree look or with the Stanwyck Bodice expansion (Patreon, October 2020) for a fabulous jumpsuit. You can even omit the pleats for a flat front, if you prefer—just watch the video to see how! I also go over pant fitting alterations, length adjustments, and construction techniques, so make sure you give it a watch.
