Pattern and Instructions: The Dolly Bell Bottoms

In honor of Elvis’ bday in January you should totally do a Elvis collar pattern hack

I love Dolly and i love bell bottoms

I can't seem to find the height the pattern is drafted for, does anyone know this information? Thanks!

we love the 70's!!

Omg I love it

i love it!!! more 70s please :)

Dolly or even Elvis! 😂 two Halloween costumes in one 🤩

I adore 70s fashion, Dolly and flared legs and these are absolutely perfect!

LOVE a flare leg - can't wait to make this pattern up! More 70's at Charm.....yes, please!

These just remind me why i hate 60s and 70s fashion. Love Dolly though.

I just love these! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! 😍😍😍

OMG I AM OBSESSED!! I love a flare pant! lol I just so happen to be 24 weeks pregnant heading into an Aussie summer so these will have to wait, but they will be the first thing I make come winter!!!

Oh my goodness! I was just thinking a couple of days ago that we could do with a flared pants pattern!

I am so here for this!!! Je l’adore!!!!

Oooh, it makes me want to do a Bee Gees inspired costume for my drag king persona! How would you go about taking the darts out? I’d be wearing a binder! I normally use the Charm patterns for my burlesque work, but I don’t know why, this screams drag to me and I’m not mad at all! 🤩

I never knew I wanted these until this moment! Thanks Charm Team!

so cute!

Omgeeee cuuuuuuute

Yes! Recently I have learned that I absolutely dislike pants that do up in the front. So I'm so glad we have another variety of pants today!

These are fantastic! Think adding pockets a la the Audrey pants would work?

I had zero clue how this related to the Lorelai at first and was really confused about the "extra" pattern 😆 What a nice surprise that it goes with it, but it's also crazy different. I did not predict this at all!

Oh my God! I cannot say how much I LOVE them!! I could even cry,,. As a teen and in my twenties I wore nearly such trousers nearly every day…

How Fun!!! Love Them!!❤️ Giddy Up!!

We want more 1970s! Give us a pant suit! 🤩

Fantastic! And I love the fringed top too!

How did you know I needed such a pattern? This is great! Thank you so much! ❤️

Dolly is a treasure and I don’t care that she’s not Charm’s normal era - I’ll welcome her iconic style any day!

Yyaaassss!!!!! Just the pattern I needed for my “Bell Bottoms County” Lainey Wilson tribute costume 🥰

Omg I love these so much!

Wow this is awesome. Thank you.

Love these and I would personally be thrilled to see more 70s inspired patterns!

Um... this is so in style right now... Can't wait to make a pair!!!

Love these! And would totally be on board for more 70s excursions!

I didn’t know I needed these… but I DO!! 🤠

I really really hope you explore more 70's!!! I love the flares, and the mediaeval influences of the time!

OMG THANK YOU GERTIE & THE CHARM TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been wanting some bell bottoms like literally forever!!!!! I tried the pattern Mood put out for a pair and the pattern wasn't the best. I will forever and always sing your praises!!! 🙇‍♀️

Awesomeness is a thing and for sure Dolly falls under this fashion category. Yes, we all love the ‘50s….but this jumpsuits is soooo hot, everybody deserves at least one in a fashionable wardrobe. Thank you so much for this jewel! 🌹

These are amazing! We love Dolly!!

WOW!

Dolly is an icon and transcends all eras!

those are so cute and look good on every body. almost tempted to sew with stretch velvet again. almost.

For the lorelai bodice cut on the fold did you have to add anything to the center front to change the shaping of the neckline or did you just place the piece on the fold (while removing seam allowance)?

These are fabulous! Love Dolly and her style. I've also been precisely thinking of sewing up flared/bell bottom pants and wondering where to find a good pattern! Thanks to the Charm team!

I love them 😍

I love it! Of course I’m a child of,the 60’s so this is perfect for me.

Oh my gosh!! LOVe everything Dolly! I am here for it!!

My very unfashionable conscious husband just said,"I don't understand why bellbottoms ever went out of style." (I was wearing some).

HA shut up this is so cute 😍😍😍

I SQUEALED when I saw it was bellbottoms!!!

Wait a minute….. can we talk about that top?! Who, what, when, where I NEED!❤️❤️❤️❤️

You had me at knit pants 😍the romper doesn't have the v neck of the lorelei dress did you draft a different front?

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS! Bring on more 70s!!!! Charm doing bell bottoms is a dream come true 💗💗💗💗

This is fabulous! I’d personally love to see more 60’s and 70’s designs mixed in. These eras are legit vintage and glamorous

I'm gagged

I see shades of Elvis in the jumpsuit version as well. So much inspiration!

love love love these! Almost squealed with excitement in my quiet office. lol

This is everything I've been hoping for for years

I love fashion of the 70s, so no problem for me ❤️

😃70’s Bell Bottoms! 🎼That’s the way (Uh huh, Uh huh!) I LIKE IT!🎶

I'm not into bell bottoms but I am VERY into knit jumpsuits (less wedgies) 🤔 I see a lot of potential in un-bell-bottom-ing the pant legs, especially with those lovely princess seams! 👀

Just what I need for my "bohemian about the house" "trying not to look as comfy as I wanna feel" "someday maybe this will be a capsule" wardrobe!

OMG 😍 I have literally been wanting a pair of pants like this but I could never find them to fit me.

Wow what a great look! I’ve been obsessed with the Behind the Seams book of all of dolly’s looks over the years! I don’t think I would sew these for a regular outfit, but good to know it’s there if I want to recreate one of her fabulous looks!

I think its the lorelie

I don’t even wear pants, but I might have to make these! Love love love!

Just want to say that 70s styles are fine by me! 🕺🪩

Gorgeous!!!

What bodice is the spider web look?

Good thing I do not love love every pattern

Oh wow this has been on my list for yearsssss. Now my denim rhinestone flares dream can come true!!!

Yes!! Who doesn’t love Dolly? Love those bell bottoms!!

Damn, Girl! Also, i don’t know a lot about her music, but sure Steel Magnolias is a guilty pleasure and she’s my fave on it.

Love Dolly - maybe a costume at some point

What?! 😍😍

File under patterns you didn't know you wanted until you saw them.

This is EVERYTHING!!!

Now this is an awesome pattern!!!

I’ve always wanted a bell bottom pattern!!! Can’t wait to adjust this one for my 4’10 frame lol

OMG I was thinking about bell bottoms a lot lately!

Yesssss!!!! ✨✨😍

Oh my gosh Gertie! I was just looking for a pattern like this! JUST NOW! 🤣❤️🙌🏻

YESSSSSS!
