Dress shorts with button pockets and cuff sewing pattern for women — Shorts 23

Shorts 23 is a digital sewing pattern for women from the Moldey catalog: dress shorts with button pockets and cuff.
The shorts have a high rise with a waistband and belt loop, a front hip pocket with a flap and button, and a back pocket also with a button. The hem ends with a folded cuff that gives it a more formal look than athletic shorts.
They work best in gabardine or bengaline with good drape and some spandex so they move with you without showing wrinkles. Press the cuff before sewing the hem.
Recommended fabrics: Bengaline, Gabardine and Twill.
