I don't know about you, but I tend to live in jeans most of the time. But there are just those times when you need something a little more---a little more dressy, or a little more exciting. To bridge this gap I present to you the Midtown Trousers, the latest SBCC offering specifically designed for petites. Because, let's face it, off the rack trousers look like a joke on us shorties. We need something polished and a notch above casual.
I designed the Midtown Trousers with the intent that you could wear these to the office or a dinner. But I'm all about the multi purposes and I want a silhouette that you can rock in the aisles of Trader Joes without feeling too dressy.
But have you seen the coolest part of them? The pockets are unique and I'm actually a little excited to be offering something I haven't seen before. It's two pockets in one for the both the front and the back. Double the stashing and double the space to put your hands when you don't know what to do with them.
The Midtown Trousers are designed for non-stretch woven fabrics like twill, linen, and corduroy. But guys, I'm not gonna lie, different fabrications yield different looks, so keep this in mind. Lightweight fabrics like linen or some thin suiting create a flowy, curve hugging silhouette. You can see this in the photos of the black pair. On the opposite end, when you go for a heavier fabric like corduroy, they give more of a chino vibe, like the corduroy shown in blue. My advice is this- if you want to make, let's say, a corduroy fit like the black images, you may want to consider sizing down. Regardless, this is a fit that you have a lot of options with.
The Midtown Trousers come in a digital download format. Your purchase comes with a tiled PDF, copyshop, or projector file to choose from. The sizing is pretty extensive also, as it ranges from 00-32W and there are lengthen/shorten lines to help you make adjustments. Speaking of, remember, for pants, it's always best to choose your size based on your hip and then adjust for the waist.
I hope you love the Midtown Trousers as much as I do and I can't wait to see what you make!

I have the same question, does the waistband sit on the waist or lower? Thank you.
What’s the rise / where is the waist on these? It’s very difficult to tell from the photos & line drawing. I love the silhouette of these, but really need to avoid low waisted low rise pants as they just don’t work for me. Thank you.
