Sizes XS-3XL
The emergence of pants as acceptable public attire for women began in the early 1930, largely due to the enormous influence of the movies and the high-profile movie stars.
Folkwear offers a sewing pattern for three history-makers: Knickers, Trousers and Shorts. The Knickers ( c. 1931) feature a button-front fly closure and side pockets. They are pleated below the knee into shaped cuffs with button closures.
The straight silhouette of the Trousers (c. 1940) is created by a high, wide waistband, back darts and front pleats. They have a zipper closure on the left side and an on-seam pocket on the right. Trousers fall gracefully straight from the fullest part on the hip to ankle-length.
