The elegance of the high waist, the comfort of the elasticated back, the sophistication of the pleats and belt loops, and the elegant and casual look of a wide yet expertly cut: the beautiful BELEM has it all!

The BELEM pattern is a trouser pattern, and in the brochure and video tutorial, we explain in detail how to sew the short version using the guidelines on your pattern sheet.

The model runs true to size and has a loose fit. If you are between two sizes, choose the smaller size and pay particular attention to the recommended hip circumference, as the elastic waistband at the back offers some flexibility.
