Pattern review: Gertie's Charm Patterns: Lucille trousers

These Lucille trousers are comfortable and look very nice. For a bit stiffer fabric I will add a little bit more length in the front crotch

The pattern

These ’40s style trousers are so elegant, they’ll have you feeling like a Hollywood icon. With a beautiful pleated front, a generously cut cuffed leg, and roomy pockets, these trousers are both functional and flattering. Choose between a high shaped waistband (our special contouring side darts give you an extra-curvy look) or a simple straight waistband. Or use the included cutting line to make shorts.

Additional info:

• 2-20 (US but they are larger than the big 4), I use the size 18 (normaly an 22)
• Recommended fabrics: fabric for pants
  
• not rated, but instructions are sufficient and tutorials are online
• This bodice expansion is for Patreon only (a kind of subscription) 

The fabric

ca 1,1 meter scuba with stretch from Jan Sikkes

Instructions:

Gertie has sufficient written instructions for her patterns. As this specific pattern was for her Patreon folowers, she also made an elaborate video tutorial which also goes over lentgh and crotch adjustments. 

Fit:

Very nice. I'll make a crotch adjustment for a stiffer fabric.

Conclusion

Love it.
