PANTS
Wearing History “Smooth Sailing” 1930s Sporting Togs Simplicity 3688 1940s Pants (also comes with blouse and blazer) EvaDress NL30‐1241 1933 Lounging Ensemble EvaDress NL30‐650 1934 Palazzo Lounging Ensemble Brijee Patterns “Linden Lady” 1930s Palazzo Pants Burda Style 6966 1970s Palazzo Pants Simplicity 8177 Pants and Robe‐Coat Decades of Styles #3003 1930s Salon Trousers
*Look for high‐waisted, wide‐legged trousers that fit loosely through the crotch. Don’t be afraid to explore vintage patterns from the 1970s and 1980s (but watch those crotch lengths!) *When searching for pants patterns, look for 1930s and early 1940s patterns. Miss Fisher, like Chanel, is considered extremely fashion‐forward (scandalously so!) by wearing pants in 1929.

*Hip‐length, knee‐length, or ankle length. Don’t be afraid of “negligee” or “bathrobe.” Also look at more structured coats and imagine them made in lighteight materials. Go for the slouchy, loose effect.
*Patterns in Bold have multiple pieces for creating this wardrobe. ** Many of these patterns from independent companies may be vintage re‐prints in one size only. Be sure to read descriptions before purchasing!
