simplicity #2017;©1947; women 14; b32″: original 1947 shorts pattern. flirty, timeless, vacation fashion at it’s best. three ways to sew up shorts. a great pattern consisting of shorts in 3 versions, styled with a pocket and seamed down the center front and back.
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, both open on the left side and come with a separate attached waistband, providing a tailored look that complements a variety of body shapes.
in contrast, style II offers a more relaxed fit with an easy elastic case waist, catering to those who prefer a casual yet chic option. This style also includes a front pocket with a flap, adding both functionality and a touch of detail. It is particularly well-suited for 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.
