Make a wardrobe of shorts with Chataigne. With your choice of high or mid rise, the waist is defined by a panelled yoke ending in a point in the front, with pleats for shaping and curved hip pockets in the front, and flap pockets in the back. The shorts are secured with an invisible zipper in the side seam.
Version A has a mid rise with cuffed hem.
Version B has a high rise with scalloped hem.
