First was the grey gabardine, next the brown wool, finally green wool/poly blend. The Lucille Trousers by Charm Patterns are a wardrobe staple. Not just for retro and vintage folk, but for all who want a bit of decadent trouser elegance in their lives. When this pattern says it's a wide leg they are not having a laugh. The back of this pattern through the crotch line is so wide. SO WIDE. However, the bum sits nice and flat without extra pooling at the upper thigh. Due to the relaxed fit they are pretty quick to put together and can easily be sewn in a day. Not to mention the cutaway pockets. So sleek and stylish, and they fit an iPhone! The green trousers are actually part of a suit that I have yet to finish. It's slow going on the jacket, but it's already shaping up to a seriously overdressed statement suit. From these images, it appears as I love to pair them with a hand knit jumper! Peach jumper is Beauty School by Poison Grrls, mustard jumper is Tesselate by Untangling Knots, cream jumper is from a vintage 1970s pattern. If I lived in the Lucille Trousers I would be a happy woman. Maybe I should make a pair for house lounging... Construction notes are at the bottom of this post.
