Description

The Pietra Pants & Shorts offer a comfortable yet stylish combination with a high waist and elastic back. They feature elongating panels in the front, slanted hip pockets, and a hidden waist stay. You can choose from four leg styles, including wide legs in full or cropped length (View A), slim and tapered legs (View B), or gently flared shorts (View C).

Suggested Fabrics

This pattern can be made with a variety of fabrics depending on the desired effect. For a more defined shape, use structured wovens such as linen, chambray, or lightweight denim or twill (heavyweight wovens may create too much volume at the elastic waist). For a swishy, glamorous look, use rayon challis, tencel, or silk.
