Tailored Shorts with Front Darts — tailored high-rise shorts with a belt and front darts
High-rise tailored shorts pattern with a thin metal-buckle belt, front darts and in-seam side pockets; made for office and events.
The high rise brings in-seam side pockets and front darts that add volume at the hip, plus a thin belt in the same fabric with a metal buckle. The hem ends straight and the fabric, a woven with good body, has a firm drape.
Medium-weight gabardine or poplin is recommended, able to hold the darts without wrinkling and to respect the shape of the belt; bengaline is another option. It works in dress collections for the office or events, and in two-piece combinations with a matching blazer. The dart notches must be marked precisely when cutting, to keep symmetry.
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.
