Part of our Rome Collection, the Pietra Pants & Shorts are the best of both worlds; a flat front, high-waisted silhouette with the comfort of an elastic waist in the back. Featuring lengthening panels in the front with slanted hip pockets and a hidden waist stay, they are so comfortable you’ll never want to take them off.

Easy To Follow Pietra Pants
This was my first Closet Core pattern and I am very happy with it. The instructions are clear, the pattern goes together easily and there is a lot of help available with fitting if you need it. I would definitely recommend this pattern and I look forward to trying others that they create.

Very clever pattern construction
So far, I have made only a muslin. Pattern lends itself nicely to French seams, my preferred seam finishing method. Fit is good and flattering, back is not baggy (I am plus sized). However, I will have to shorten the front crotch length considerably (as in all pant patterns) and do not know yet how to proceed. Taking out a wedge at the marked position does not work for me, because it results in forward slanting side seams. I will try and chop it off from the waistline, even if the pattern pieces get a strangely wavy waistline shape.
By the way - I made a knee length muslin of view A, it would work perfectly as Bermuda shorts.

Pietra Shorts

Highly recommend the Pietra Shorts - I made them in a big hurry for an outdoor event from a medium weight linen. Very clear instructions and the fit is great. Highly recommend this pattern and I’m making plans to try the pants version soon.
