Choosing your pattern size is the most important step and we will help you determine this with these easy to follow steps.
Place the tape at the edge of the shoulder. Measure along the top of the shoulder blade/across the highest point of the shoulders to the other edge, following the natural slope and allow an extra finger for ease of any movement.
This point is taken as a circumference at your widest point of your upper arm.
This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the fullest part of your chest.
This point is taken as a circumference and taken at the smallest part of your waist.
This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the widest part of your hips.

Nice shorts! Super easy to make. My pair were made using a fairly crisp cotton, almost like quilter’s batik. Even though my waist is somewhat bigger than the standard measurements, I got a good fit. I cut size 18 (sizing fits my hip measurement). Next time I might add a full inch to the length as I am an ‘older model’ and that’s a better look on me. The shorts read like a short skirt which I like. Other good hacks would be back pockets, a cuff or belt loops.

I really wanted to love this short, but it did not match expectations. I’m pear shaped, so the sizing was all off. I normally fit in a 10 in SA pants, but I had to take at least 2 inches off the waist. You should pick your size depending on your waist, not hips. The leg openings are SO WIDE that it looks like you’re wearing a skort. I took probably 5 inches out of the crotch and 8 inches from each of the leg openings to make it look more tailored. One I did all that, though, they do look pretty cute.
I’ll probably make another set but redraft the size 8 pattern with the changes that I made above. I also put in an invisible zipper (highly suggested for a professional look), and I topstitched a few seams, plus did a blind hem on the shorts.
The instructions for this were light but fine. It’s not a difficult piece to sew together.
