PDF - Digital Pattern for the Strike Trousers by Dress Your Body

The Strike pants pattern is a pants pattern with wide legs but well fitted at the hips. 

It has the finishes of jeans-type pants with its topstitching, patch back pockets, and the ticket pocket on the front.

And the pattern is offered with different options to be sure to satisfy all your desires:

• High waist or low waist,
• 3 types of belts available
• and a pattern variation in 3 heights for minimal adjustments!

WHICH SIZE DO I CHOOSE?

SIZES:
The Strike pants pattern goes from Size 32 to Size 46.

Choose your size as usual based on your measurements and the size chart.

Of course, I strongly advise you to make a toile. But in any case, if you hesitate between 2 sizes choose the larger one because it is easier to adjust a garment than to enlarge it!

HEIGHT: The pattern is available in 3 heights: 1.60m / 1.65m / 1.76m

The pattern variation in 3 different heights should allow you to limit adjustments to the pants, especially at the crotch.

For the height, in theory, if you measure:

● between 1.56m and 1.63m, choose the height: 1.60m

● between 1.64m and 1.71m, choose the height: 1.68m

● between 1.72m and 1.80m, choose the height: 1.76m

But you know yourself best! You may have long legs and a short torso or the opposite. So it is always better to check if the leg length suits you. The finished measurements of the Strike pants are given just after.

Also know that the leg length of the pants is designed to reach just above the foot, without breaking on the shoe.
