We needed a jean in the Maison Fauve wardrobe. But Hussard is much more than that. Its high-waisted cut hugs the hips, leaves the thighs snug and tightens up on the ankle not to squeeze but on the contrary to slim whilst keeping it comfortable. Sewn in a fabric more precious than just denim, this is a key piece that will be perfect with a little top slipped inside. And as usual, the Maison Fauve touch: the very pretty darts that dress the pockets, and give a twist to this iconic wardrobe staple.
Suggested Fabrics: The pattern is made for a fabric without elastane such as denim, a tailored woollen fabric suitable for sewing trousers, a cotton twill, a jacquard (be careful that the reverse side is soft). If you want to sew the garment in a fabric that has a little elastane, do not go over 2% elastane or elastic fiber in the composition and sew a size below the recommended size.
Fabric Requirements: For a width of 140 cm.
6-12 (34-40) | 150 cm
14-18 (42-46) | 180 cm
20-24 (48-52) | 210 cm
You will also need:
- 30 cm of lining

- A bias tape: the quantity of which will be chosen on the waist size of the gradation table
- There are many top stitched areas on your pants, for a "denim" style, don’t be afraid to use a contrasting thread (often in brown tones, bronze to yellow for a blue cotton jean fabric), and widen a little your stitches for the topstitching on the right side of the garment, it's prettier.
