Every Girl is a Goddess, why not dress like one?
Introducing the Bella Sunshine Designs Monroe Wrap Pants. A goddess style faux wrap style pant sewing pattern that is flowy and luxury all at once.
And they're a REALLY quick sew.
There are several options for the Monroe Wrap Pants:
- No-Cross or Full Cross Front
- Full Coverage or Faux High-lo bottom hem
- Elastic casing waist band
- Capris or Floor length.
For my first pair, I used a really lightweight flannel fabric (from Fabricland) for the main pants, and a cotton red fabric I had in my stash.
The flow is perfect, and I love the look.
This is the Floor length, Full Coverage, Cross Front version.
I'm 5'-2" and didn't remove any length, so maybe I just have long legs for BSD patterns. Normally I have to remove length. Thus, remember to look at the finished measurements, measure yourself, repeat to make sure.
The wrap part works well in wind (it was a windy photoshoot) and doesn't come up all the way, so you won't be pulling a Marilyn Monroe in these.
They are SOOO comfy to lounge around the house in - I'm using these as PJ bottoms due to the fabric type.
Next are my Non-Cross Over Faux High Low Floor Length pants.
I have no idea where this fabric came from. It could be as old as I am. It's like a light suiting fabric in Christmas Tree green. These were my test pair.
As you can see, there's definitely a Marilyn Monroe oopsie happening here, so make sure you're okay with a bit more thigh showing with the Non Cross Over version!
And when the fabric is thicker, like this one is, it's more difficult to get the sides to sit flat, as you can see in the picture.
So no suiting fabric, apparently.
Something flowy works best, and you'll be happy with your Monroes.

***Affiliate Links Above used - I love these patterns, and without the help of those who love their patterns, marketing would be extremely difficult for the pattern makers we love and learn to love. Affiliate links help with the hours, fabric, and tears that go behind testing each pattern in order to provide a real-person view on the patterns for you (and me!)
