About the Casablanca Pants
You will be able to sew 3 variations of this pattern: View A (the original Casablanca Pants) was designed with a flounce, which gives additional length and fluidity. View B makes for a much quicker and fabric-saving sew, as it can be assembled without the flounce. View C is the short version: it has the fullness of a skirt, but the comfort and coverage of shorts.
The Casablanca Palazzo Pants can be styled in several ways: you can pair them with a tank or a crop-top to highlight the volume of the wide leg silhouette, or wear them with a lightweight tucked-in blouse for a polished look. Of course, they are also perfect for a beachy vibe, paired with a bralette or bikini top.

Fabric & Material Requirements
The Casablanca Palazzo Pants pattern was conceived for non-stretch fabric.
Main fabric options include:
- Lightweight fabrics that have good draping (lightweight cotton such as lawn, batiste, rayon/viscose, crepe or satin)
- Polyester: while it may raise eyebrows to go “synthetic”, this is my hands-down favorite fabric option for this skirt because it’s extremely lightweight, flowy and doesn’t crease
- Check out the product pictures to review required yardage!
- 1.25-1.85m of elastic (1cm width)
- Fusible interfacing for the waistband (70cm x 10cm / 14″ x 4″)
Difficulty Level
Sewing difficulty Level: Intermediate
With this pattern, you will learn to master the following techniques:
applying fusible interfacing
gathering fabric
- sewing a no-seam waistband
placing elastic in the waistband to create a smocked effect
sewing a rolled hem (ideally on a serger, but can be done on a regular machine)
Each step is explained in depth!
