Calder Pants & Shorts 12-32 PDF pattern

So flattering

I can't believe how good these trousers look on me. I sewed a size 20 apple, no adjustments, out of midweight 100% linen. I had to cut 2.5 inches off the bottom hem (5'6"). Probably need another inch, but right now, they look just like the pictured orange trousers in terms of length. The long leg and high waist, combined with whatever magic is happening across my belly, creates a smooth, elongated line that is very elegant and professional. These pockets were a new process for me, but I just followed the clear instructions, and they look great and are very sturdy. I don't imagine they will stretch out. This was a muslin before I dive into making more in twill. I can't wait to get started. I'm late the the Calder party, but I'm having a good time.

Calder pants-shorts

I love the pattern. I chose this pattern to start fitting pants. I have a very difficult time fitting patterns: 50-inch waist, 52-inch hip, and a size 14 leg, no rear to speak of. I have worked with this pattern and several muslins and got the fit almost right. I started with shorts and would love the below-the-knee pants. Just need to size down the lower part of the back piece. I am excited- would never have gotten this far without the support from Cashmerette patterns.

Excellent pattern!

I love this pattern! I made Calder pants (apple pattern) and 2 pairs of shorts. I used a linen blend fabric and the design is fabulous! I paired the pants with the kershoe top and felt fabulous at a dinner party. It came out exactly as I had hoped. Thank you!
