Turn your Fran shirt into a glorious two piece set with our add-on trouser bundle! This kit includes the fabric and notions to make the bottoms which are part of the Fran Set from Closet Core.
The Fran bottoms are straight-legged and roomy with a soft, comfortable elastic waist. The waistband also has a tiny paperbag edge which gives a nice textural effect.
The trousers have two in seam front pockets, a back patch pocket, and a nice, deep hem. They can also easily be turned into shorts as pictured in the gallery.
Each bundle includes enough fabric for the full length trouser. This trouser bundle does not include the Fran pattern or access to Lauren's Top Hints and Tips video - these come with the Fran Shirt Kit.
This kit is available in all five designs of our Goddess Collection: Goddess Power, Bougainvillea Island, Delphi Tiles, pink Ariadne and blue Ariadne.
The g&g exclusive 'Goddess Collection' is inspired by hot days with the brightest of sunshine to give you that gorgeous summer feeling that makes you smile and relax. They contain icons from Greek Mythology, with Goddesses whose power reflects the power you feel when you can sew your own clothes, choose your own style and feel confident and proud in what you wear.
These five fabric designs draw deep inspiration from Greek mythology and the natural beauty of the Mediterranean, blending symbolic storytelling with vibrant visuals.
Goddess Power celebrates feminine strength through an array of goddess symbols - spot Selene’s moon, Aphrodite’s doves and Athena’s owl - all tied together with wave-like motifs inspired by Amphitrite’s hair. The Delphi Tiles print brings myth and culture together in a hand painted tile grid featuring 11 iconic symbols from Greek goddesses and daily life. Bougainvillea Island captures the idyllic charm of sun-drenched Greek islands, with vivid depictions of blue seas, wooden sail boats and blooming flowers. And the Ariadne design features a maze-like pattern which evokes the mythical labyrinth which Ariadne helped Theseus escape from, fittingly with a ball of thread.
All the prints are on our new off-white viscose linen base, which is 51% viscose, 36% linen and 13% cotton. This fabric is ideal for summer; breathable and drapey with that lovely slubby linen texture.

This pattern is available in sizes XXS to 4X: Waist 24 - 53” and hip 33 - 62”
The full size charts, including finished measurements, can be viewed in the gallery above. It is worth noting that Fran is quite loose fitting and we sized down by one size on our trouser and shorts samples, apart from Lorna’s Pink Ariadne shorts which were made to her measurements.
