Create timeless, flattering trousers with Le Pantalon Charly by Cha'coud, an elegant women's flare pants PDF sewing pattern inspired by classic bell-bottom silhouettes. Fitted through the hips before gradually widening toward the hem, Charly combines a tailored upper fit with beautifully flared legs for a versatile, sophisticated look.
Featuring four buttoned welt pockets, back darts, a shaped waistband and an invisible side zipper, this sewing pattern offers refined details while remaining comfortable and practical for everyday wear. The curved waistband follows the body's natural shape, while the back darts help create a flattering fit through the waist and hips.
Designed to work with a variety of woven fabrics, Charly can be sewn in lightweight gabardine, denim, twill, crepe, velvet or fine wool. Choose a lighter fabric for flowing spring and summer trousers, or a more structured textile for a polished autumn or winter wardrobe.
This intermediate sewing project is ideal for developing garment-making skills, particularly welt pocket construction, fitting a shaped waistband and inserting an invisible zipper.

Design Details
Fitted Hips & Flared Legs:
The Charly Pants feature a close-fitting silhouette around the hips that gradually widens toward the hem. This timeless bell-bottom design creates an elongated appearance and can be styled with fitted tops, blouses, knitwear or tailored jackets.
Four Buttoned Welt Pockets:
Two pockets on the front and two on the back add a distinctive tailoring detail. Each pocket is finished with a welt and a decorative button, creating a refined appearance on both sides of the trousers.
Contoured Waistband & Back Darts:
The shaped waistband and back darts help the trousers follow the natural curves of the body. The interior waistband is finished with bias tape for a neat, professional-looking result.
Invisible Side Zipper:
A concealed 20 cm / 8" zipper is inserted into the left side seam, preserving the clean front silhouette while making the trousers easy to put on and remove.
Customizable Hem:
The instructions include a wide hem finish, which can be adjusted according to your height, preferred length and desired final appearance.
Recommended Fabrics
The designer created the original Charly Pants using lightweight gabardine and recommends several other woven fabrics. Choose a fabric with enough body to maintain the flared silhouette while providing the drape and comfort you prefer.
Other fabrics recommended by the designer include denim, crepe, woven velvet and lightweight wool, provided their weight and drape are suitable for the design.
Fabric Selection Tip: For a more structured, vintage-inspired bell-bottom silhouette, choose cotton gabardine or medium-weight twill. For softer, more fluid trousers, consider a suitable lightweight crepe or drapey woven twill.
Important: The pattern uses shaped waist and hip measurements, so make sure your chosen fabric has suitable stability for the waistband and welt pockets. Test interfacing on a fabric scrap before starting.
Fabric Requirements
The following quantities are provided by Cha'coud for fabric measuring 140 cm / 55" wide.
- Sizes 34–40: 1.50 m / approximately 1.64 yards
- Sizes 42–48: 1.80 m / approximately 1.97 yards
Note: The quantities are based on the designer's original cutting recommendations. Additional fabric may be necessary for directional prints, pattern matching, length adjustments or different fabric widths.
Additional Supplies & Notions
- Fusible Interfacing: Suitable for reinforcing the waistband and front and back welt pocket openings
- Invisible Zipper: 1 zipper measuring 20 cm / approximately 8"
- Buttons: 4 buttons measuring approximately 15 mm / 0.6" in diameter
- Bias Tape: 1 m / approximately 1.09 yards for finishing the inner waistband
- All-Purpose Sewing Thread suitable for the chosen fabric
-
Sewing machine needles appropriate for your fabric
- Optional serger for finishing raw edges
- Invisible zipper foot for inserting the side closure
Sewing Tip: Interfacing the waistband and welt pocket areas helps stabilize the fabric during construction. Work carefully when cutting and turning the welt pocket openings, and press each step thoroughly for a crisp, tailored finish.
Size Range & Fit
Le Pantalon Charly includes eight European women's sizes, from 34 to 48. The designer's measurement chart is based on a reference height of 165 cm / approximately 5'5".
The designer recommends selecting your size primarily according to your hip measurement. If you fall between two sizes, choose the size closest to your hips and adjust the waist if necessary.

We strive for excellence in our products and customer service, but some imperfections may occur with fabric.
Please note that stains, holes, or blemishes within 3 inches (10 cm) of the edge are considered acceptable.

Please be aware that fabric may shrink after the first wash, so we recommend purchasing slightly more than the exact length required for your project.
