Shorts and Pants (and things in between)

I didn't start making bifurcated garments until nearly the beginning of college, I think. They're just very frustratingly hard to fit and bums are such strange shapes. At this point I can neatly manage a pair of pants, I think.

They're soft grey stretch, with little belt loops - and a good thing too, because the fabric has terrible recovery and really just wants to slide right off!


Very Flowery Shorts, 2012 -->
One of my first successful pairs of shorts. No waistband, just darts and a zip front. They stay up too! I think I used the underside of the fabric because it's pretty loud.

Again, pseudo-breeches. These ones are out of non-stretch cotton, thank goodness. The waistband and cuffs are black, with matching black lace down the leg.



Pink Nubbly short pants, 2012 -->
I dunno what to call this kind of pants? They're breeches length, but obviously not breeches. Thery're of stretch stuff, the kind that wants to slip off.
