Here are the shorts from Burda 7966. As I mentioned in my earlier post, these are closely fitted and you may want to add some extra to the sides for fitting insurance. I just went up two sizes for L since they have an elastic waist and she wanted a looser fit. They have the same waistband as the 7965 split skirt, but L didn't want a real drawstring, so I just cut a piece of elastic the needed length, used a scrap to make a bow tie and sewed it over the the casing opening. The shorts aren't short-short, but I added an extra inch in length just in case. There's good back coverage, as it is very slightly longer than the front.

These will probably be sleep shorts, as it was the leftover fabric from the Burda 7789 skirt. I sure got a lot of bang for my fabric buck with that Red Tag sale!
