High-waisted shorts in an Aztec-inspired print jacquard fabric. Pattern: Simplicity 1371, view “D”

The loose fit in the leg was something to get used to, but these shorts are super fun to wear! The only thing I’m not a fan of is how puffy it looks in the front with those pleats, although I’m not sure how one could change that and still have room to move. These would probably look great in a more flowing/draping fabric, but I liked how everything worked out and I ended up wearing them in both summer and winter.
