I’ll be real with you—I’ve never found ready-to-wear cargo pants that fit and flatter my curves. Either the waist gaped, the hips pulled, or the pockets landed in weird places. So I did what I always do when the rack doesn’t love us back: I designed one. Meet Adira—a cargo pant sewing pattern for curves that loves your body right back.
Why the Adira Cargo Pant?
Because fit comes first. Style follows. Confidence shows up.
Here’s what you’ll feel the second you zip them up:
- Fitted at the waist—no sliding, no tugging.
- Semi-fitted at the hip—room for curves without the squeeze.
- Loose through the leg—easy movement, clean line.
- Front patch pockets—phone, chapstick, snacks… handled.
- Articulated seams—subtle shaping = polished profile.
- Cargo front pockets—utility, but make it chic.
- Back faux pockets—visual balance, zero bulk.
- Zipper fly & belt loops—classic finish.
- No-gap waistband—seriously, sit down and test it. You’re covered.
- Made to fit your butt, hips, and waist—because you deserve pants that do all three.
Yes—Adira is a true cargo pant sewing pattern for curves. But more importantly? It’s a blueprint for pants you’ll actually wear.
Style it three ways
Utility, but polished.
Cotton twill + crisp topstitching + a fitted tee or ribbed top with or without a jacket. Add white sneakers or heals. Everyday uniform: unlocked.



Elevated casual.
Army green or khaki Adira + silk or cotton button-down, half-tucked. Minimal heels or loafers. That “I didn’t try, but I did” look.



Street-smart weekend.
Soft bull denim + oversized sweater + chunky sandals. Hoop earrings. Hair/ head wrap tied up. Errands become a vibe.



Pro tip: play with pocket flaps vs. clean cargo pockets. Keep the lines sleek if you want length. Go contrast-stitch if you want drama.
Behind the design
I built Adira around the moments that usually ruin cargo pants for curvy bodies—the back waistband gap, the hip pull, the thigh twist, pocket placement that widens instead of lengthens. The answer? A curved, no-gap waistband, calibrated hip ease, articulated seams, and pocket geometry that flatters—not fights—your proportions.
Sew one pair and you’ll get it. Sew three and you’ll wonder how you ever lived without them.
