Description
Description
The Alessandra Trousers and Shorts are a timeless tailored style with a flattering high waist and a beautifully neat finish. Choose the full-length trousers for an elegant everyday wardrobe staple, or make the shorts for a smarter take on warm-weather dressing.
Thoughtful trouser-making details include a fly zip, darts, practical inseam pockets and a neat waistband finished with either a button or trouser hook and bar. Alessandra works particularly well in woven fabrics with enough structure to hold the shape while still having a little drape. Try linen or cotton twill for everyday wear, denim for a more casual look, Tencel for a softer finish, or lightweight wool and wool crepe for something a little smarter.
Ciao Patterns are designed with clarity in mind. Each size is colour coded for easy tracing, while different line styles ensure the sizes remain easy to distinguish when printed in black and white.
