Wide-leg broderie anglaise trousers

• It's openwork, so it lets light through — that's the principle of broderie anglaise, not a flaw. Plan on a slip or matching shorts underneath: against the light, it doesn't cover.
• Embroidery, not a print — the motifs are genuinely cut out and overlocked. You can see them on both sides of the fabric.
• Fully elasticated waist — nothing to button, it simply pulls on.
• Long, wide leg — up to 106 cm total length: it covers your shoes.

• Wide-leg trousers in openwork broderie anglaise
• Elasticated waist, straight wide leg
• One colour only: off-white
• Cold wash inside out, dry flat, do not wring hard

Sizes follow Asian sizing, which runs smaller than French sizes. Go by the measurements below rather than the letter, and if in doubt, take the size up.

Size conversions and how to measure: see our women's size guide.

These figures are for the garment laid flat, taken from the manufacturer's chart — they are not body measurements. Measure a pair of trousers you already wear and compare: it is the only method that never gets it wrong.

Measured flat. The waist is elasticated: the figure given is when relaxed.
