Join me when I make a pair of high waisted 1940s Ladies' and Misses' Slacks from McCall's in 1942 (McCall's 4803)! I bought the pattern at a local antique & vintage sale and sadly the previous owner had cut & altered the original 1940s pattern and TAPERED the legs... 😩 Who does that!? 😧 😖
This meant I had to try to recreate the original 1940's wide-leg silhouette. I also wanted to add different pockets, in this case, diagonal side pockets to my trousers. I had to do a lot of pattern alteration & testing to get the perfect fit & shape for my pants. But hopefully, you will find this process helpful for when you need to alter your own patterns in the future!
