Shorts 04MD — shorts with ruffled hem

High-rise shorts pattern with an elastic waist and a gathered ruffle at the hem, designed for casual summer lines.

High-rise shorts with an elastic waist, no drawcord, and a short straight leg. At the hem they have a gathered ruffle that flares outward, in a fabric with a crinkled seersucker-type texture.

A textured poplin or a lightweight linen works best, keeping that natural crinkled look without ironing. It sells well in women's casual summer lines and pairs with cropped tops or tank tops from the same launch. Cut the hem ruffle on the straight grain and gather it before sewing it to the edge of the shorts.

It comes in 8 sizes (XS to 4XL) with the industrial grading already done: pick the sizes you need on the product page, or buy the full size range in one go. Delivered as an A4 PDF to print at home and a true-scale plotter PDF (90, 120 or 150 cm wide); DXF/AAMA, Optitex (PDS), marker (MRK) or Audaces (ADS) files for cutting directly in CAD are available on request. Digital download within 24 hours of payment confirmation.

Professional sewing pattern for women, approved with a sewn sample, with the full industrial size range available. Sizes are chosen on the product page (the base price covers the standard size selection and each extra size adds a small surcharge); the CAD formats include the full size range.
