For my little girl I made this.
I'm not really satisfied with the photos. By the time the sun had gone down enough to get a decent one, the shorts were all wrinkled from being worn all day.
I love the shorts though, even if I don't have a great photo of them. Yep, that's the fly I'm so proud of. I still need to put a button or hook at the top, see it pulls a bit? That's why, no button.
I rather like the tank as well. I thought that was going to be a 20 minute little project, but I failed to consider that I was using my new serger for the first time, so by the time I figured out how to actually use the machine and then got the feel for how it sews I'd spent 3 days sewing time on it (swear word).
I didn't think I'd have time for the shorts. I was expecting a fight figuring out that fly. (I should have counted the times I had to unzip my own pants and examine them during the process) But I whipped those out the afternoon of the third and still had time to make a pair of overalls for Tiny Boy.
The overalls weren't blessed with the same good fortune as the shorts, so I need to revise a few things before I post about them, but I'll get to it soon.
Here's what I ended up with when I tried photographing the sorts mid-day when they were still wrinkle-free.
I love the high waist, hate the blaring sun.

I totally kept staring at little girl on the 4th's morning extravaganze. The shorts were too darling. I so loved the high wasted and flared legs.
Did you on purpose pose Baby Girl in the Betty Grable legs pose? As I know you are against that pose.
I had forgotten my grudge against Betty Grable and her legs pose. I suppose time heals all wounds.
If we're being specific though, that is not the pose. Betty crossed her legs at the ankle and Baby Girl did not.
