The Broadwaters are classic culottes that combine the feminine silhouette of a skirt with the practicality of wide-legged trousers. They feature a flattering shaped front waistband with an elasticated back for pull on-and-off comfort and easy fitting. The deep front and back pleats add drape without adding bulk over the tummy area; while the generous slanted pockets provide everyday functionality.
This pattern is also available as part of a full kit with pattern, fabric and notions. You can find it on the kit page.
