The shorts than I'm just finishing up making are made from a Man's pattern. Jalie 2216. They seem to be fitting great, I haven't had the opportunity to ride in them yet though. I need to get the elastic in the waist and hem the legs then they will be finished.
I'm going to be using the man's pattern for a jersey as well, so we'll see how much alterations I'll need to do to make it fit. I didn't do anything to the shorts pattern. They are just a simple 4 panel short and I've not had anything else so I'm not going to be much good to compare either sorry.
