Paper Sewing Pattern
The Brooklyn trouser really is the must-have of the Empire State of Fauve collection: a wide cut, with a slightly high waist and a fitted waistband for style. Its invisible side zip leaves the front of the trousers free for its set of stitched pleats. Its belt loops allow you to wear a belt, and its double back darts with fake patch pockets ensure a flattering fit and a marked waist without constricting the silhouette. As beautiful with trainers for an urban look as with stilettos for the evening, the beautiful Brooklyn will be a must-have in your wardrobe.
Sewing Level: advanced. The technical aspects are forming the pleats on the front of the trousers, the fitting of the waistband, the Italian pockets and the fitting of the invisible zip.
Size: from 34 to 52, for a height of 1m65.
THE SEAM ALLOWANCES ARE 1CM AND ARE INCLUDED
