(I'm very short on time at the moment...so running with the theory that lousy photos and a quick post are better than no post and a forgotten project).
Pattern: I started with Marfy 0293. I lowered the front waistband, so that it was 8-9 cm lower than the back, similar to RTW jeans that I own. I then drafted a peplum, starting about halfway across the fronts and splitting at the back.
Fabric: Stretch cotton from EmmaOneSock. I have been avoiding stretch wovens these last few years, but I did love the colour of this. I stabilised the waistband with a quilting cotton, but the shorts stretch out a lot during wear, around the hips and crotch. I don't know whether to take them in or not? They fit pretty snugly when I first put them on.
I have only worn them twice so far, and have not worked out how best to style them yet. The double whammy of bright colour and peplum detail is making it a little hard for me to choose the best tops. One quick photo though, to show you how the peplum sits.

oh they are super cute! I love the colour you chose too. So bright and fun.
I loove the bright yellow. Such a great colour on you! Can't go wrong with a great shorts pattern like this one either :) Gorgeous!
These are so cute, the peplum, the color, everything. I wonder how they would look with a solid color fitted tee shirt?
That's a really cute idea!
CUH-YUTE!!!!
Prolly close-fitting cami-type/sleeveless simple tees would be easiest to style with them? Keep the fit close to the body on top and at waist to show the peplum to best effect?
Wow - what an unusual design - I love how adventurous you are with pattern choices - and no doubt in your climate having multiple style options for shorts is a very good thing...
The half peplum takes these shorts well above the ordinary. Wish I could still wear shorts.
