PATTERN AND INSTRUCTIONS: The Lucille Trousers (Patreon)

It's trouser time, Charm Scouts! 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 contouring side darts give you an extra-curvy look) or a simple straight waistband. For even more options, pair the Lucille Trousers with the Charm Patterns Stanywck Skirt bib and suspenders for a dunagree look or with the Stanwyck Bodice expansion (Patreon, October 2020) for a fabulous jumpsuit. Or use the included cutting line to make shorts. 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. And don't forget to scroll through all the photos at the top of this post to see how we styled the variations on this pattern. 

Wondering about fabrics and supplies? Check out the written instructions at the bottom of this post for links and recommendations. You'll also find the tiled file (for printing at home on A4 or letter size sheets and taping together) and the A0 file (for printing at a copy shop like pdfplotting.com). 

As I teased yesterday, these trousers were inspired by the ever-gorgeous Lucille Ball. The lady could wear a pair of wide-legged pants!

As you can see in the line art, there are many expansion opportunities: 

I hope you love this pattern as much as I do!
