Ladies Skate Shorts
These shorts were made in response to the lack of skatewear in women’s sizes at local skate shops. I wanted to make baggy, comfortable, just over-the-knee shorts that give the skater room to breathe, while actually fitting her waist without a belt.
100% Cotton Garbadine
Concept Sketches
I began by drawing simple sketches of the silhouette I wanted to achieve. This helped me map out spaces for pockets, darts, etc.
Production
I created a pattern inspired by mens skate shorts that never seem to fit my figure right, made adjustments, and began to sew.
