Wonder why?

I just made these according to my measurements, and they are HUGE. No one else has had this issue? I ordered more of the same fabric, though, because I love the finished product and will try a smaller size.

Hi Denise, Thank you for your review and feedback! We're sorry to hear about the sizing issue. It's important to follow the specific sizing instructions for the Hepburn shorts, as they sit lower on the hips. We'd recommend joining our Facebook group where Melanie can help with sizing tips. We're glad you love the finished product and hope the smaller size works perfectly for you!

Most comfortable shorts I've ever worn

Great pattern and lovely shorts. Very clear instructions even for me, an absolute beginner sewer. I've made 3 pairs of the pull on version now and I wear them all the time. Highly recommend.

Favourite shorts pattern

Hands down best shorts pattern I’ve ever made. I’ve now made 4 pairs. Easy to make.

Hepburn shorts

These are a great fit. I did take 1 inch out of each side of the back for a more fitted look which suited the heavier cotton drill I used.

Lovely Walking Shorts

Great fitting shorts. Have made 2 pairs 'Urban' style in size 14 - no pattern alternations needed! Omitted the pleats on the second pair and they still look good. Happy to recommend this pattern.
