They look elegant! Let us know how shorts without elastic fit.

Lookin' good. They do look nicely finished and so crisp. Tell us what the mr. says.

I think some OP (Ocean Pacific) swimsuits my DS wore in the 80's were this yoked style, however; the seat was fitted. Your boxers look great!

good looking boxers. I thought they would be nice for girl use. Nice comfortable shorts to hang around the house, or in the yard. Or if brave in the street. I don't wear shorts.

These are great, Georgene! I'm sure he will love them. How fun to be able to use a vintage pattern.

You take on such interesting projects. Neat.

Tres Chic! Love the buttons and the elegant fabric. Bet hubby feels like a sophisticated European aristocrat in those fine knickers. Can't wait to hear his review.

Good job Georgene. I noticed the pattern envelope refers to these as "Americain," which is kind of funny since they're so European to our eyes.

Georgene, I've seen boxers like these in the Vermont Country Store catalog. Their version had adjustment at the back with tabs and buttons: http://www.vermontcountrystore.com/prdSell.asp?ProdGroupID=13300&flgCookiesEnabled=FALSE&mode=7

Yes the tabs and button back is the way the Simplicity #1960 is made. I didn't have the courage to figure that out, so just followed the pattern on these. Maybe the next pair!

Glad your DH is so enthusiastic about them. The tabs in the VT Country Store picture look like they're constructed on the same principle as wrap skirts, with a "buttonhole slit" in the waistband to allow the under tab to come through. But don't you think that buttons at the waist back would be kind of uncomfortable when your DH is sitting back in a chair? I would think that they'd poke into his back and drive him crazy. And then there's the fold of extra fabric if the tabs are buttoned to their outer limits. Looks like wedgy material to me!

Georgene, those are really handsome boxers. You were very wise to grab up that pattern when you found it in Paris. Somehow, I don't think I'll have the same good fortune at the local Goodwill store...
