Your Plus-Sized Evening Palazzo Pant and Shell Blouse Ensemble: Sheer, Flowing, Refined


plus sized palazzo pant pattern

If you want an outfit that feels special the moment you slip it on, the Palazzo Pants inside your Sewing Pattern Secrets Database ✂️👗 are the perfect make for the any season — celebrations, dinners, gatherings 🦃, concerts 🎶, and every festivity in between.

These dress pants feature our signature two-layer design:
a sheer, floaty outer layer that catches the glow of nightlife or romantic candlelight…
paired with a smooth, opaque underlayer that keeps everything polished and comfortable 🤍

The result is evening wear that moves beautifully — graceful, elegant, and festive without being fussy.

The kind of pant that gives you that extra boost of confidence before heading out the door.

And here’s the fun part…

Intermediate sewists can also create a simplified version by sewing only the outer layer with a mid-weight opaque fabric 🧵.

It’s quicker, still luxurious, and carries that soft, evening-ready drape the pattern is known for.

Perfect for:

  • Christmas parties 🎄

  • Winter celebrations ❄️

  • Theatre nights 🎭

  • Candlelit dinners 🍽️🕯️

  • Holiday concerts 🎶

  • New Year’s gatherings

  • Any festive evening where elegance matters 👗

Pair them with our Design Secret’s sequined shell , a velvet wrap 💙, or a fitted blouse — the pants bring the movement, the glow, and the elegance.

👉 Log into your Sewing Pattern Secrets Database 📁 and open the Palazzo Pants pattern.

🌿 Palazzo Pants: For the Intermediate or Advanced Sewists

An alternative for Intermediates ~ to sew the outer layer only. But use a mid-weight opaque fabric.

Result? A pair of pants that looks breezy, pulled-together, and perfect for:

  • Spring outings

  • Weekend markets

  • Resort wear (yes, even over a bathing suit)

🌙 For the Advanced Sewist:

Here’s where the pros separate from the crowd:
Layer two fabrics — a sheer outer and a soft lining — and you’ve got elevated formal pants worthy of evening events or cocktail parties. Use a rolled hem on the chiffon for a finished look.

💡 Pro Tip: Watch for static. Test your fabrics in-store or check fiber blends before you commit.

Hi! My name is Molly McGuire, and my number one passion is sewing. In fact, I've dedicated my entire life to it. When I was a little girl, I used to love watching my grandma work on her sewing machine. She could make anything. She made all the clothes for the entire family, and it was so amazing! Today, I continue my grandma's legacy by making clothes for our extended family and teaching proper sewing techniques to our students. I get a great deal of satisfaction from teaching others. Once again, thank you for visiting my blog and please feel free to reach out to me! I would love to hear from you! Enjoy! Molly
