From Atlantis by Panache, SECRET, delightful sheer black/pink/green embroidered floral shorts with a lace up detail at the back, Style 3894.
These shorts have three panels at the front: at black sheer mesh top central panel with a dip downwards at the centre, pink zig-zag stitching separates this from the two main panels below. These two main panels have a central vertical seam to balance the floral cross stitch embroidery which is sewn over sheer black mesh which also have stripes of groups of three black embroidered lines which fan out in a diagonal pattern from the central seam. The bottom of these two panels finish in soft waves with open work embroidered petals in each wave. The sides of these two main panels are edged with vertical bands of pink zig-zag stitching down to a slit at the bottom.
From these vertical pink seams sheer black mesh panels wrap around the hip sides to a quarter of the way around to the back where there is another vertical seam separating these hip wrapping panels from the two main central back panels. These central sheer black mesh panels have a vertical seam up to a V shaped opening, edged inside with black elastic with a lace trim through which fine pink satin ribbons are laced up to the top where they are tied into a bow which is sewn in place so that it keeps the correct tension.
The outside of the gusset is covered with a separate panel of black mesh. The waist band is edged around the top with a narrow band of black elastic with a satin sheen, secured with black zig-zag stitching. From the hip panels around to the back leg sides and the panel edging the gusset are all have the fabric turned up and edged with a narrow band of black lace with a small repeat wavy edge. The gusset is lined with black cotton.
