Waist (W): measure horizontally around the widest part of the waist.
Hips (H): measure horizontally around the widest part of the lower body.
To select the right size for this pattern, the hip measurement should be your guideline. Pick the size that
is the best match for your hips. Altering the waist is simple. When you are tracing the waist, simply merge
between the two size lines of the waist and hip for a custom fit.
finished garment measurements (in cm)
This chart's measurements are the pattern measurements based on the fabric type
and serve as a reference. Ease has been added to the width measurements (on top of
the exact body measurements) for a more comfortable fit and to achieve a particular
cut (fitted, loose or oversized). Depending on the preferred fit, you could choose to
size up or down accordingly.

Compare the stated lengths to the measured or desired lengths. Lengthen
or shorten the trouser legs and/or the rise by cutting the pattern pieces
at the place(s) indicated by a double line on the drawing above and then
spreading the pattern pieces out X cm from each other or overlapping
them, where necessary. Make sure that the CF and CB lines and the side
seams are always straight.
IMPORTANT
Adjust the fabric to be used based on these alterations.

fabric advice Depending on the look you want, there are a variety of fabric options to choose from. For
an athleisure look, use stable interlock, French terry or sweatshirt knit. Elevate Benita to
evening wear with a velour jersey, ribbed jersey or even a woven crepe with a print. Choose
a fabric that moves with the body.
