"Not too tight, not too big, not too long — absolutely perfect. Thank you from a busy mum of 3 still trying to find her style 3 years postpartum. ❤️"

"I have never found shorts that have fit me this well. The elastic waist fits my smaller waist and the legs sit beautifully over my hips. Got the matching Florence Top and love wearing it as a set!"

🌸 How to Care for Your Matilda Shorts
Your Matilda Shorts are made for lounging, living, and everything in between — here’s how to keep them looking cute and comfy:
* Wash me gently – Cold machine wash on a gentle cycle, inside out to protect my colour.
* Skip the harsh stuff – No bleach or soaking; it’ll dull my vibe.
* Air me out – Line dry in the shade; tumble drying isn’t my thing.
* Smooth me out – A warm iron or gentle steam on reverse will keep me fresh.
* Store me simple – Fold or hang, and I’ll be ready for our next adventure.

Stylish mumma

My first ever purchase from TLC. From a casual Tee and suck me in black tights to stylish mumma. I pair these Matilda shorts with Lacey Shirt | Boots & Badges. My confidence is slowly coming back, I get so many compliments in it and it’s so comfortable to wear.

Comfy and stylish

These shorts are a summer staple!
The rayon fabric is super breathable and soft, and I’ve not had to iron them yet, which is always a win to me. When paired with the Lacey shirt, it’s a stylish set, comfortable and the fit is relaxed without looking sloppy.
Super comfy, great quality and I absolutely recommend!
I have them in the blue crepe, mulberry seersucker and now the sandbar stripe!
