Ladies linen suit trousers Marlene
ITEM DESCRIPTION
1930s style linen mens suit trousers for women. These trousers are adapted from a 1930s mens pattern with wide fit, pleated front, very high waisted, fishtail back and buckle back. After many requests I have finally got around to make my signature mens trousers for ladies. The only thing that I changed is the basic hip to waist ratio and the length, everything else is exactly the same. The trousers are made of a top quality linen with a good weight and beautiful drape. The fabric feels very soft and is super comfortable to wear. Please keep in mind that linen wrinkles when worn. Although with this beautiful heavy quality, that is not disturbing or annoying. It is proof that your trousers are made of real linen. The trousers have generous pockets in the side seam exactly like the men's version, and two welted back pockets. Over all the trousers are very nicely finished. They close with a zipper and hook and eye

STYLING
You can wear these together with a waistcoat and jacket (a matching waistcoat will be available soon) or just with a nice top, a simple knitted sweater looks also great. With or without suspenders. With a white blouse and gloves for a Polly style look, or go all the way Marlene style with a jacket and cap.
SIZING INFO:
The sizes are EU standard sizes and in between French and German sizing. The picture also gives UK sizes.
Find your body measurements in the chart and order the size closest to your measurements. The waist size is leading, since the trousers are pleated and give enough room for wider hips, or give shape to somebody with less hips. The lengths should be adjusted to your desired length. Best ask somebody to help pinning them for you while wearing them. There is plenty of fabric in the turn ups for lengthening them. To be sure please measure. When measuring the waist, make sure you measure high enough, just below the ribs is the right place. Take a tape measure or cord and pull it tight enough that it is comfortable. Or use a belt that you fasten to the right size and measure that to find the right size. Instructions on how to measure can be found here:
