cali has been rainy and yucky lately so been looking forward to my california sunshine.........which brings me to my question.........shorts! i have found lots of knee legnth shorts but looking for shorter shorts that i can wear through the summer. any ideas? how short can i go before i lose the 1940s look? any pics of styles of shorts i can wear?

here's the link so a few pages of pictures from the Life Magazine Google archive that show a variety of lengths.

also you might try looking at patterns from the 40's and fashion magazines, catalogs.

I know exactly what you mean honey - I cannot WAIT for a bit of sunshine. I'm definitely not built for cold weather.

I bought some lovely vintage shorts last year that I'm aching to wear when the sun comes out!
