All Love Notions Sewing Patterns are digital downloads, you may print them at home or send to a copy shop. A physical pattern will not be mailed to you.
The Duet Trousers are truly a ‘duet’- they can be made from bottom-weight woven fabric AND stable knits! The trousers are mid-rise, sitting a couple inches below the navel. Two leg options are included- straight and tapered. The invisible side zipper allows this trouser pattern to work for a wider variety of fabric types. If using a stable knit the zipper can be eliminated and a yoga waistband is used instead. The front pockets feature a front panel that stretches across the abdomen so you can sneak a control panel in there if you wish. The back features darts to give you a flattering shape.
As of April 2023 the Duet Trousers has been updated to include size 0-32. See ERRATA tab for more details.
