Buy the Karen Trousers sewing pattern from Vikisews. Karen is a pair of semi-fitted trousers with a straight silhouette and pressed creases, inspired by menswear. The back features waist darts; the front features pleats at the waistline directed towards the side seams. The front also has functional slash pockets. The trousers have a separate waistband piece with an overlap on the right side and belt loops. The waistline is lowered (the waistband’s top edge sits 6 cm below the natural waist) and its fit isn’t too snug. The trousers have a classic fly front fastening, and the waistband fastens with two hooks and eyes. Karen is floor length, forming a pleat when worn.
