  • IMPORTANT: Please make sure you have checked if there is enough of your chosen fabric for gathered, puff or 3/4 length versions of sleeves before you place your order

    IMPORTANT: Please make sure you have checked if there is enough of your chosen fabrics for the different elements of your two-piece with our team before placing your order

    Fine cotton lining works with most fabric types, cupro lining works well with drapey fabrics Please note: you will need to add a lining if you are adding bound pockets to your garment
    IMPORTANT: Please make sure you have checked if there is enough of your chosen fabric for gathered, puff, 3/4 or full length versions of sleeves before you place your order

    Please note: sleeveless garments with attached shoulder ties will mean that the garment opens completely at the shoulder when untied. Garments with sleeves with attached shoulder ties will mean that the shoulder ties are purely decorative

    Please note if you are opting for a hidden zip fastening (below) you will need to select classic pockets as this feature isn't applicable with our other pocket types

    Please note: we recommend hook and bar fastenings if you're adding an elasticated waistband or designing a garment in a heavier weight fabric
    Our hidden zip fastening is located inside the classic pocket rather at the side seam of the garment - it allows for easier access to ports and stomas etc as well as generally being easier to take on/off when getting dressed. Can only work with our classic pockets

    Please note: this is not available for garments in velvet or heavyweight fabric - please get in touch if you are unsure if your fabric choice is suitable. We recommend 3 or 5" elastic for sizes UK 4-6 to 18-20 and 5-8" elastic for sizes UK 22-24 to 26-28

DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION

One of our most popular designs the high-waisted shorts two-piece is a super versatile wardrobe staple.

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR FABRIC + PLACE YOUR ORDER:

How to choose your fabric + place your order:

1. Choose your fabric by heading to our instagram fabric gallery 

Each fabric has a reference number & details of which of our designs + sizes it is suitable for. Comment on the instagram post or email us via info@theemperorsoldclothes.co.uk to reserve it – we generally only have enough of each fabric for 1-2 garments so this step is really important!

2. Place your order here – double-check you have the correct garment type.

Your fabric reservation lasts for 72 hours so please place your order during this time otherwise the fabric will become available to other customers.

Important: make sure to write your size, sleeve preference + fabric reference number in the order notes when you are entering your payment details.

3. Sit back, make a cup of tea + get excited about your one of a kind garment!

GARMENT DETAILS:

Handmade from scratch with high quality fabrics, our high-waisted shorts have a side popper and side zip fastening.

Our high-waisted shorts are a modern, more simple take on shorts from the 1950s

WAYS TO WEAR:

This crop top + high-waisted short set is a versatile wardrobe addition offering three outfits in one:

Wear the whole two-piece with your favourite shoes for outfit number 1

Style the crop top with high waisted jeans or a skirt for outfit number 2.

Pair the short with a black top or plain white shirt + ankle boots or heels for a casual look for outfit number 3.

Two-pieces are for all year round: when the temperature drops add boots, high socks & some cosy cashmere to the whole ensemble.

Feel good fashion! This crop-top & high-waisted shorts will be created by our team in our Brighton studio for a living wage. Every piece we make is totally unique and will not be reproduced.

Want to see how this design looks made up in different fabrics & sizes? Check out the whole range currently available in our shop.

All our clothing and accessories are hand-tailored from scratch in our Brighton studio. Every item we create is completely unique and created using mainly vintage and end-of-roll fabrics so no two items are the same.
