Hi there!

If you’ve joined the Design Secrets course and community, you already know—every module is inspired by a legendary era of fashion.

And in Module One (Apprentice Level), we launched it all with The Gatsby Era—where women didn’t just raise hems... they started wearing trousers in public.
Elegant, rebellious, and unforgettable—that’s exactly what you’ll be sewing when you take on these Gatsby Trouser Pants.

👗 Luxurious Draped Silhouette – When you choose the right buttery fabric (like a rayon or bamboo blend), these trousers flow over the cuffs just like 1920s women intended—daring, refined, and elegant.

🧵 Professional Construction Features – Fully lined, with a waistband, front button closure, and a neat zip fly for a flawless tailored finish.

🧷 Sculpted with Darts – Designed with front and back waist darts for shaping that flatters without forcing.

📐 Slanted Side Pockets + Cuffed Hem Detail – Classic slant pockets and a crisp cuffed hem complete the sophisticated look.

🌿 Fabric Tip for the Gatsby Trouser Pants:

Pick medium-weight twill weaves, or beautiful blends like poly-rayon, viscose-nylon, cotton-tencel, viscose-linen, or bamboo twill.

The right drape makes the difference. Choose fabrics with fluid movement—not stiff!
For lining: use lightweight options like Haotai polyester lining or cotton voile for pocket pieces.

✂️ Notion Tip: You’ll need a 6.5" (16.5 cm) closed-ended invisible YKK zipper to finish off your zip fly like a pro.

💬 Remember, like all Design Secrets projects, the Gatsby Trousers are built for serious skill builders.

These aren’t just pants—they’re a confidence statement sewn into every seam.

If you're ready to step out of the ordinary and into iconic sewing history, this project is where it begins.
