E-PATTERN 1945 Trousers & Clam-Diggers, E9016

E9016; 1945 Trousers & Clam-Diggers 7-piece digitally-drafted pattern originally by Vogue, ("Easy to Make") 'Slacks with built-up or regulation waist line and choice of long or below-knee length. Built-up version is dart-fitted at front and back with patch pockets at front.  Slacks finished on belt at waist line have dart fullness released at front and patch pockets at back.  Ribbon suspenders buttoned over elastic loops at front are optional.  Turned back cuffs on long version.  Blouse is not included.’ The zipper opening is in the top of the left side seam so it is more concealed. The zipper may be placed in the top of the center back seam, if preferred. 5/8" seams are given.  **NOTE: As with many earlier trouser styles, you may find the rise on this pattern too long.  Illustrated instructions are given to shorten for a really good fit.**  In the images, you see Lil in her fabulous wool version of the trousers and braces. She was our top finalist wearing them with the 1945 Beach
