*Please note, this is a PDF pattern suitable to be printed at home or printshop and not a physical pattern*
The Riviera pattern offers both a wide leg trouser and shorts option. The style features tucks the entire length of the leg, side seam pockets (although you could opt for no pockets like my chocolate brown pair to get a nice smooth finish on the side seam) and an extra wide waistband with the option to add a belt and belt loops (if you wish). I have limited space to add photos on the website, so please check out @nhpatterns on Instagram to see a story highlight filled with tester photos in all different sizes or check out the hashtag #nhriviera

Sizing:
This pattern comes in two size options. Size UK 4-18 (roughly US 0-14) and size UK 16-32 (roughly US 12-28). The crossover sizes in this pattern are very similar. The main difference between the size sets is the rise is an inch longer on the 16-32 size set. The back crotch point for the size 16-32 has also been extended very slightly.

Skill level:
This pattern is labelled as intermediate due to the skills required to insert a fly front zipper and add side seam pockets, however this is detailed with easy to follow instructions, so a confident advanced beginner will also find this challenging but not impossible!
A basic knowledge of how to use a sewing pattern, and basic sewing machine knowledge is needed for this pattern.
...........................................................................................
Fabric and notions:
This pattern has been designed for lightweight woven fabric with little to no stretch. We recommend using something with a nice drape such as viscose/rayon, crepe, model/tencel etc. If you’re making view A, you could also consider using chiffon or something sheer for your main fabric and use something opaque for your lining! Think carefully about the fabric you choose for this dress, as different fabrics will produce different results. Lightweight cottons and linens could also work for these, but you may end up with a more structured style than the pattern was designed for.
