Flirty, timeless, vacation fashion at it’s best. Three ways to sew up shorts. An original vintage pattern consisting of shorts in 3 styles for every occasion.
Style I is a modern-again style featuring ‘ease of movement’ pleats at both the front and back, making it an ideal choice for those who prioritize comfort without sacrificing fashion. This style is specifically designed for use with crepes, which allows for a beautifully draped silhouette that enhances the wearer’s figure. Styles I and III are more tailored. Both open on the left side and come with a separate attached waistband, complimenting a variety of body shapes.
In contrast, style II offers a more relaxed fit with an easy elastic case waist, casual yet chic. This style also includes a front pocket with a flap, adding both functionality and a touch of detail. It particularly suits silky materials or soft cottons, making it versatile for various occasions.
Finally, we have the dart-fitted shorts, known as style III. These shorts feature a fold at the lower edge to form a cuff, embodying a classic Bermuda style that balances sophistication with laid-back ease.

USE
The information sheet shows a general process of construction with some tips. In order to recreate a style you will need to purchase your material, notions and anything you might need for embellishing. To test the fit, before using expensive fabric, purchase muslin & recreate the style in a basic version. It is advisable to make a paper copy when resizing or altering the design.
CARE
- For small tears, use archival tape or a glue stick & tissue paper.
- Store the pattern in its protective sleeve or bag to reduce breakage and further discoloring.
