The Cordelia Trousers are super versatile and suitable for most light to medium weight fabrics including stable woven fabrics such as wool suiting, cotton, denim, drills, twills, & linen.
We absolutely love Denim-Look Utility Linens! They are perfect for holding all the details seen in the Cordelia Trousers, especially the crisp paper-bag pleats and trouser front pleats, for a perfectly polished look either to dress up or dress down. The stunning drape of these twill fabrics, make them ideal for full and cropped length versions of the pattern and the denim style chambray colours available make them a perennial favourite of ours.
