Description

The Sepia Pants and Shorts offer a smart blend of comfort and style, with thoughtful details throughout. At the front, cleverly constructed double pockets create a subtle floating effect, complemented by topstitched patch pockets at the back. The elasticated waistband is finished with a softly fluted paper bag edge, with the option to add a drawstring for extra adjustability.

The pattern includes three versatile views: View A has a barrel leg shape that finishes at the ankle, shaped with darts at the knee and hem; View B offers a full-length wide leg silhouette; and View C is a relaxed short ending at mid-thigh.

Recommended Fabric
