j222b 2/25/08I like the yellow pair-very slenderizing!! Lovely-maybe re-think this pattern from an OK to a Yeah, it looks great from here.

xtreme1 2/25/08That waistband is very flattering on you. Nice shorts.

lillydee 2/25/08The look fine, esp the yellow ones....a hot colour this spring, I had the same problem with linen pants until a friend mentioned i should prewash and dry the linen in order to shrink it....some people do this three times in order to stabilize the linen. It also helps make a heavier linen more wrinkle resistant. Diane

CarolynGM 2/25/08I think this pattern is well worth tweaking and making more. Very nice style. You could always widen the waistband or add to the crotch depth if you want them to ride a litle higher.

AnneM 2/25/08As with the other commenters, I think these look very good on you.
* * *
Nancywin 2/25/08Actually, I think these look pretty darn good! I can hardly wait for shorts weather.
* * *
AmyABQ 2/26/08they fit you very well, I really like the color just what is showing for spring, the brighter colors.
* * *
LauraLo 2/26/08That shade of yellow is absolutely gorgeous. And both pairs seem to fit you so well!

SigridNL 2/26/08These shorts look great. I've been looking for such a pattern for a long time. I'm very happy you reviewed this, this might be the one for me.

lilyofthevalley 2/26/08These cute shorts are a lot more flattering on you than you realize. And the yellow linen is a pretty great color for you, too. Your photo sold me; I'm buying this pattern ASAP. -Lily

cindyann 2/26/08I agree with others that the yellow pair is very slenderizing and flattering on you. Thanks for the review. BTW....I agree that we need a "just ok" rating. LOL Although these shorts are much better than just ok.
* * *
Heatherrique 2/26/08Nice waistband and other details! Need to add this to my wardrobe! Thanks for reviewing this Marji!

CynthiaSue 2/26/08Marji, these look so cute. I must go get this pattern. Thanks for the original idea of shorts sewing. !

AlexaNJ 3/3/08Nice review - I like the waistband at that level.
