Aina trousers & culottes
Sizes: EUR 32-56 | US 0-24 | UK 4-28 | Size chart
The Aina sewing pattern includes two variations: Classic trousers with a slightly tapered ankle-length leg, and trendy culottes. Both of these lightly fitted pants have a high rise, fly zipper closure, front pockets, and patch pockets in the back. The front waist is finished with a classic waistband with a decorative button closure at the sides. The back waist has a relaxed elastic detail, making the trousers more comfortable and easier to fit. Either variation can be sewn with or without the decorative topstitchings.
