The Daphne Trouser was developed to answer the need for a smart, flattering trouser with a high waist and a wide leg. Something that's comfy with an elevated stylish feel.
The pattern comes with options to help you personalise the fit to your own body as well personalise the style with a choice of ankle cuff or standard hem.
These trousers have a high and fitted waist which flare out from the hips down to a wider leg. The pattern included a back dart and instructions on how to fit the style to your own body. It comes with 3 different length options and you can also choose between a full length trouser or an ankle cuff.
More info, as well as a workshop, can be found in The modern sewing company website.
