No. 7 Vanløse - An even higher waist

I love to put on high waisted trousers; I think they are classy and very flattering on most women. I like the way they hug where the natural waist is and the fact that I can hide my bum when I pick up my daughter or bend over. The Vanløse trousers have a high waist, but I have made a version with an even higher waist. I have removed the facing and replaced it with a shaped waistband instead.

I have made an extra pattern piece for the waistband, and you can print it here.
