- Info+
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.
Choose between four leg styles: a wide leg in floor-skimming or cropped length (View A), a slim and tapered leg (View B), or gently flared shorts (View C).
Pattern Difficulty: Confident Beginner

- This pattern can be made with a variety of fabrics depending on the desired effect. For a more defined shape, use structured wovens such as linen, chambray, or lightweight denim or twill (heavyweight wovens may create too much volume at the elastic waist). For a swishy, glamorous look, use rayon challis, tencel, or silk.

How do I download my PDF Pattern?
First, we suggest creating an account in our shop so you can access all your files in one place at any time!
After you place an order, you will land on a page with a custom download link. You can download your pattern then, or use the link included in the order confirmation sent via email. If you don’t receive a download link via email, please check your junk mail as it may have been rerouted (and add us to your safe senders list so it doesn't happen again!)
Am I charged for taxes?
All Canadians are charged GST and possibly PST depending on where they live in Canada. We do not charge taxes in the US.
Customers based in the EU and UK will also be charged VAT on all goods. Regulations have changed in recent years requiring VAT to be collected based on where the customer resides (and not where the company is located) so we are legally required to collect and remit VAT even though our company is based in Canada. You can read more about the VAT regulations here.
What currency will I be charged in?
Use the dropdown at the top of our menu to choose USD, CAD, AUD, GBP, or EUR dollars to view prices and checkout in the currency of your choice.
For AUD, GBP, and EUR currencies, the price you'll see is linked to the daily exchange rate between USD and your currency, which means prices may fluctuate. For our Canadian customers, we have established set prices that will not vary with exchange rates.

Customer Reviews
I love it when you find a pattern that fits you and you can make on repeat. I did have to remove some fabric from the front rise but otherwise find this fits me well. Love the front pocket construction. This is my 7th pair (5 shorts, 2 pants). For some reason, I like the shorts fit better than the pants fit. Since I made these in a light colored heavyweight linen (@fabrics-store 4C22 bleached) I lined them (never done this before - just winged it) and added rear pockets to avoid any see-through.
I made the shorts version in linen and (after a few customary adjustments) they came out fine. However, the instructions in the pdf version for pocket construction are incorrect. If you follow them, the pockets will end up on the inside of the garment. Good thing there is an online tutorial, which was very helpful. I don't understand why this error hasn't been pointed out or corrected. It makes me wary about trying any other patterns.

I’m most definitely not the average height and normally have to lengthen every pattern I work with but these pants have been perfect right off the printer! No need to alter anything. I made my first pair using a white cotton drill intended as a wearable muslin. They’re fantastic! Highly recommend this pattern.

I'm just started the Pietra pants following some pattern changes. One comment on the pockets. I don't think there should be a "Lengthen/Shorten Here" line. I needed to add 1.5" to the rise, but adding that to the pocket just makes all of the match lines not work and also makes a longer pocket, which really isn't needed. I love the style however with the high waist and can already see I'll be making multiple pair and styles!
