Design
Our The Leslie Pants is not only très chic, but also insanely comfortable – a real all-rounder! With the sewing pattern you can easily sew the pants yourself.
You want the perfect fit?
There is nothing more frustrating than when a homemade garment ends up fitting poorly. That’s over now! Because when you take the time to sew a garment yourself, you deserve it to be perfect. That’s why our sewing patterns are now also available “Customized to your measurements”. How does it work? Order the option “Customized to your measurements”, measure yourself according to our instructions and enter your current measurements in our form. Our designers then construct your individual pattern. You will receive it within 1 to maximum 2 weeks after filling out the form as paper pattern or digital pattern by email and can start sewing without fear that your garment will not fit in the end as expected.

Individual length
As different as we all are personally, our legs are also different in length! To make sure we all sew the perfect length of Leslie Pants we have constructed the pattern pieces in adjustable lenghts. That is, you will find a line where you can easily cut open and shorten or lengthen the pattern piece. Our designer Juliana shows you exactly how in the DIY video tutorial for The Leslie Pants.

Find the perfect size for you simply by using our size chart. Measure your chest, waist and hip circumference and check the chart to see which size most closely matches your own measurements.
