I made these shorts using the BurdaStyle Ruby pattern. The pattern was rather easy to follow and they were fun to make. I’m still afraid of making button holes, so I used navy blue snaps on the sides instead. If I were to make these again I would use a heavier material or something else that wouldn’t wrinkle so easily. I like how they look, so now I just need to figure out what to wear with them.
Blue cotton, navy blue snaps.

Cute! Is there a pocket in the front as well? I like how you dressed them up with the tights and boots. I think they’d also look good with t-shirt and flip flops. Versatile!

Beautiful shorts! I love them, especially how you matched them with the rest of the outfit. The navy snaps look great.
