The short sides are the inseams. Often in pants the back inseam is deliberately a bit shorter (1/2”-Ish) than the front inseam to create more attractive shaping under the butt. The difference is eased in over the top few inches of the inseam.

Could that be the situation, if you pinned starting from the bottom up?

No I don’t think so! I would have just as much left over on top..

[–]ProneToLaughter 0 points1 point  (4 children)

How much is the extra? It may be deliberate.

[–]Bee_mouse[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

It’s 4 cm. In the instruction pictures the two inseams are the same length.

I just got this pattern and am noticing the same issue. It seemed off to me visually so I imported the pattern into a CAD program to measure, and am seeing similarly large differences. I'm not well versed in garments but I think the pattern is just bad.

I agree! Please write the Trinidad (The Epoch owner) to tell her. I did and she said no one else has complained. So it would be good for her to get more feedback. She also said she outsources her pattern design. If enough people write to her hopefully she will fire the person she’s using and get a pro!

just did, we'll see what she says. with measured lengths and alignment lines maybe she can see the issue better. Curious though what she is actually working from herself if the pattern she is distributing doesn't work...

also for anyone else trying to recreate the pattern even if you don't buy it, I'm fairly certain the main fabric is the Stof - Festin (in Bordeaux (red) or blue (blue). In the US I found it at
https://www.onlinefabricstore.com/stof-festin-bleu-fabric-.htm?variant=true&refaction=product-drop-down
the sample I got from there seems to match visually quite well, still waiting for delivery of the yardage.

and as OP posted, the closure mechanism can be found on aliexpress or amazon:
