From the Decades of Style website:
Want to know how to make your legs look long and sleek? Try a pair of high-waist pants from this vintage pattern. Deep cuffs and wide legs on the trousers really capture the look of the 40s.
High-waist trousers have invisible zipper at center back, and darts in the front and back for shaping. 2" cuff at bottom of straight, very wide leg. Finished inseam about 30".
