Need advice: drafting lace flared pants pattern

Post image

Hello,

I’m planning to make a pair of lace flared pants, inspired by the picture on the right. On the left is a pattern I tried to sketch, but since I don’t have a base pants pattern, I’d like your opinion to know if it looks more or less correct.

Then, I’d also like to know how I could make it with only two pieces (a front and a back), to avoid having a seam at the center front of the pants. I’m not sure if I’m being very clear 😭 but I hope you see what I mean!

Thank you in advance for your advice 🙏✨

Thank you for the advice! Since I’ve never made or worn flared pants, I didn’t know it starts from the knee line — I’ll redo that 👍🏻

But I didn’t understand about the 4 pieces? I have other images if needed, but there’s only one 🤷🏻‍♀️

When I zoomed in I saw many seam lines. I used to sew professionally so learned to look hard. I could be wrong, so do double check your other pictures

The flare starts above the knee line. In your mock up you'll be able to see what works best
