2 Pleated Trouser
The pleated trouser can also be drafted from the slack pant for a closer fit. The pant design is for sizes 4 to 6X
and 7 to 14 for boys and girls. More than one pleat can be created by spreading more than one place on the draft.
The pant can also be cuffed.

Design Analysis The pant is plotted for slash placement (one pleat is illustrated, but by placing more slash lines,
more pleats can be added to the pant draft). The fly front can be placed on either side of the front pant. The back
pant is basic.

Pleated Trouser Draft
• Trace the front and back trouser pant. • Slash at grainline of the pant and spread 1 1/2 to 2 inches for pleat
intake.

• For the fly front, add 3/4 to 1 inch to pant front (the length of the fly should be at least 1 inch longer than the
zipper).
Waist Band Options

Decide the type of waist band best suited to the design.

3 Baggy Pant
The trouser pant is the base for pants that are very full through the leg line. The draft is suitable for sizes 3 to 6X
and 7 to 14, for boys or girls.
Design Analysis
This is a fun pants, to be made as full as desired and cut to any length. Fullness is added through the sides of the
pattern. Design 1

The pants is gathered at the waist and the hemline of the pant and is secured with elastic or may be sewn to a
band at waist and ankle. Design 2 is a thought problem.
Baggy Draft
• Trace front and back trouser, spacing the patterns to the amount of fullness desired.

• Extend the inch is used for lapping and stitching together.
• Cut 1/2-inch elastic equal to foot entry measurement plus 1 inch. One inch is used for lapping and stitching
together.
• Lower the crotch (it may be lower for a more waistline 2 3/4 inches for 1inch elastic.

• Cut 1-inch elastic equal to the waist measurement. One exaggerated look).
• Extend the pant length for blousing.
