I love the style of those shorts - they are not dowdy and you did some very clever alterations to make them fit. I would try the clear elastic, or I will put seam binding in my waistband to stabilize it. But that is just because I have 2 rolls of like 500 Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17294938643859267228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864688565474192425.post-21971483518443971972016-06-10T13:44:08.238-04:002016-06-10T13:44:08.238-04:00Oh my goodness - it's so funny that you call t...Oh my goodness - it's so funny that you call them mom shorts!

The sandals are from the GH Bass outlet two summers ago.

It's always a confidence killer for me when I find my size on pattern charts.<br /><br />Unrelated: PLEASE tell me you got those sandals recently (and where you got them!) because I need them in my life!

That curbs the afternoon droop in shorts and althletic pants, just tighten if you need to.

There is a lot to be said about being comfortable, and I think I can still be cute even if everything I wear doesn't make me look my skinniest, lol.<br /><br />Thanks for the encouragement :)Mashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05364861545043732582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864688565474192425.post-39133453063958845892016-06-06T14:06:54.727-04:002016-06-06T14:06:54.727-04:00I like the orange pair!

I bought a similar pair for this summer because I am not yet brave enough to try to sew pants and shorts(even though I have bought a few pants patterns). Mom territory or not, they are cute, and I'm impressed how much you improved the fit!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469445801743773764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864688565474192425.post-65726629025371659772016-06-06T13:43:04.480-04:002016-06-06T13:43:04.480-04:00These are totally cute, practical, and comfortable...These are totally cute, practical, and comfortable looking! I have this pattern, now you've got me thinking about it again! I'm a firm believer that not every piece of clothing needs to be mega-flattering. I mean, high heels look amazing, but I rarely wear them. Eff that noise. If I look dowdy, well, the patriarchy can suck it. LOL. That said, these are nice summer shorts.

Love the modifications you made, the new pattern looks fantastic on you. Good call holding off on the crochet trim, I think you'll get a lot more wear out of it this way.
