Difficulty: Intermediate The Eastbourne Trousers combine modern fashion and vintage inspired style for a look that goes from backyard barbecues in linen, to work in wool, and evening soirées in satin. They feature a V shaped yoke attached with a lapped seam, single deep front pleats, a relaxed 'dropped' vintage crotch seam, and wide legs. Choose from full length trousers or culotte versions, and a high yoke, which sits 1/2.5cm above the natural waist, or a low yoke, which sits 3/8cm below the natural waist. All versions have an invisible zipper at center back, and roomy side pockets. The Eastbourne Trousers are named for the lovely coastal suburb of Eastbourne, which sits on the eastern shore of Wellington Harbour. The area is famous for its forests of native plants, beautiful bays, cute period cottages, and sheltered beaches. It was a popular summer retreat for well-off Wellingtonians, including Katherine Mansfield's family, in the late 19th and early 20th century, and is still an ideal place to escape the pressures of city life. Its vintage charm and relaxed feel are perfectly captured in the Eastbourne Trousers.
