Description

Introducing a modern take on culottes, the perfect blend of practicality and style. These culottes offer the comfort and ease of shorts while providing the elegant appearance of a skirt. With their wonderful drape and thoughtful design details, they are sure to become a staple in your wardrobe.

The pattern features a fitted waistband that accentuates your figure, along with deep pockets for added functionality. The invisible side seam zipper ensures a sleek and seamless look, while the hidden centre front and back pleats create the illusion of a flowing skirt.

Choose from four stunning variations to suit your personal style and occasion. View A offers a short length with a full skirt, perfect for a flirty and playful look. View B provides a knee-length option with a full skirt, combining sophistication and comfort. For a chic and versatile option, View C offers a midi length with slightly less fullness. And if you prefer a more streamlined silhouette, View D presents a knee-length version with reduced fullness.

Light to mid weight fabrics with a lot of drape are best, such as crepe de chine, pima cotton lawn, voile, batiste, crepe, lawn, silk charmeuse, georgette, habutai, pongee, challis, viscose, linen and chambray.
