Flared trousers
High-rise trousers with a flared leg.
① Measurements
Size
Drafted by the FreeSewing engine — a proper, sewable block. Wearing ease and seam allowance are already included.
② Fabric & layout
Drafting…
Suggested fabric
Rayon/viscose twill · Tencel/lyocell twill · Wool-blend suiting · Soft mid-weight crepe
180–280 gsm (5.3–8.3 oz/yd²) · some stretch ok
soft with fluid drape
High-rise flares look best in a fabric with enough drape to swing through the leg while still holding a crisp crease from knee to hem.
Avoid: stiff canvas, rigid quilting cotton, heavy denim
③ Place a motif
Preview where a chest print, pocket or embroidery will sit before you cut — then print it as a placement guide.
④ Print & cut

Atelier notes
- 01Pick your size; the draft already includes wearing ease.
- 02Sew a quick calico toile first — these are statement shapes, so check the fit and drape before cutting your fabric.
- 03Watch the grainline and stay-stitch any deep curves before they stretch.
