Featuring lengthening panels in the front with slanted hip pockets and a hidden waist stay, you'll never want to take them off. Choose between four leg styles: a wide leg in floor-skimming or cropped length or a slim and tapered leg. Over four 3-hour sessions, you'll take your measurements, make a muslin toile, and stitch up a pair of well-fitted trousers specifically to your shape. Stitch them in linen, cotton or poplin for a perfect pair of pants you'll want in every color. All materials are available in the shop at a 10% discount.
