Belem Pants/Shorts

The beautiful Belem has it all - the elegance of the high waist, the comfort of the elasticated back, the sophistication of the pleats and belt loops and the elegant and nonchalant look of a wide but tailored cut!

The BELEM pattern is a pants pattern and we detail in the brochure and the video tutorial how to sew the shorts version from the guidelines of your pattern sheet.

The pattern fits normally and has a wide cut. If you are hesitating between 2 sizes, choose the smaller one and rely on the recommendations of the hips measurement as a priority because the elasticated back size allows you more room than indicated.
