The Pietra Pants & Shorts have a functional and fashionable design; a flat front, high-waisted silhouette with the comfort of an elastic waist in the back. Clever details including lengthening panels in the front with slanted hip pockets and a hidden waist stay complement these comfortable pants. Choose between four leg styles: a wide leg in floor-skimming or cropped length (View A), a slim and tapered leg (View B), or gently flared shorts (View C).

Sewing Level Advanced Beginner

Size Range 0-20

Suggested Fabric
Structured woven fabrics such as linen, chambray, or lightweight denim or twill (heavyweight wovens may create too much volume at the elastic waist). To create a drapey, flowing look, consider rayon challis, Tencel, or silk.
