Printed sewing pattern • Sizes 34–50 • Skill level: Advanced Beginner
La Jupe Culotte by Atelier Brunette is a modern wide leg culotte sewing pattern that perfectly blends the comfort of trousers with the volume and elegance of a skirt. Designed with a loose, fluid cut, it’s an easy and comfortable companion for busy days — effortlessly chic while remaining practical.
The flattering high waist elongates the silhouette, while soft front pleats add gentle structure and movement. The 7/8 length grazes the ankle for a refined finish, and the elasticated back waistband provides comfort and balanced volume through the hips. A button placket closure on one side is paired with a practical pocket on the other, combining thoughtful detail with everyday functionality.
This is a versatile wardrobe piece that pairs beautifully with blouses, knitwear or simple tops.
