Maison Fauve - Belem Trousers

About the Belem Trousers

The beautiful Belem has it all:  The elegance of the high waist, the comfort of the elasticated back, the sophistication of the pleats and loops, and the elegant and nonchalant look of a loose but tailored cut. 

The pattern fits normally and is loose fitting. If you are between two sizes, choose the smallest one and rely on the recommendations of the hip size first, because the elasticated back allows you some room.
