Vintage Women's Shorts patterns

Women's shorts are shorter to extend the visual length of the leg. The perceived ideal is that women have long legs and short torsos. This is helped also by moving the perceived waist up to the narrowest part of the stomach, in order to incorporate the whole hip area into the perceived length of the leg. The shortest of the 1950s shorts were “shorties shorts.” These had a 6 inch inseam, well above the knee, and had a classic 1950s high waist and side zipper. These shorts were mostly worn on the beaches or on pin up models. Also popular at the time were Sailor Playsuits that featured High Waist Shorts. Walking length shorts continued to become more popular in the late 1950s as did garments designed from Summer Shorts patterns.

Another style of long shorts is culottes. Culottes looked like A-line skirt with wide leg openings that flared out from a tight waist and hip. The longest type of 1950s shorts could also be called pants and were called Pedal pushers.
