"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. ❤️"

Paige Doevendans Verified Buyer

"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!"

Tenille Verified Buyer

Why You’ll Love It

The Matilda Shorts in Wine Crepe are your new go-to comfortable women’s shorts, designed for easy everyday wear. Crafted from a breathable 80% viscose, 20% cotton crepe fabric, they feel lightweight, soft, and airy against the skin.

The rich wine tone brings depth and warmth to your wardrobe, making these stylish and relaxed-fit shorts easy to dress up or down. The subtle crepe texture adds movement and dimension while keeping the overall feel effortless and wearable.

Designed with a cozy elastic waist and adjustable drawstring, these shorts are made to move with you. The relaxed wide-leg fit creates a flattering drape through the hips and thighs, while functional pockets add practicality for real life. They are bump-friendly, postpartum-friendly, and designed to feel as good as they look.

  • Breathable 80% viscose, 20% cotton crepe fabric
  • Lightweight, soft textured finish
  • Elastic waist shorts with adjustable drawstring
  • Relaxed wide-leg fit
  • Functional side pockets
  • Unlined for an airy, comfortable feel
  • Bump-friendly and pregnancy-friendly shorts
  • Postpartum-friendly fit with non-restrictive waistband
  • Size-inclusive women’s shorts designed for all body shapes

These are the kind of relaxed-fit shorts you throw on for coffee runs, slow mornings, holidays, or long days at home. Comfortable enough for lounging, cute enough to wear out. You can absolutely look cooler now than you did before having kids.
How It Fits (Spoiler: Like a Dream)

The Matilda Shorts are designed to sit comfortably at your natural waist with a soft, stretchy elastic waistband that moves with you. The adjustable drawstring lets you customise the fit, whether you prefer them sitting snug at the waist or slightly looser for an off-duty feel.

Through the hips and thighs, they feature a relaxed wide-leg fit. They do not cling or feel tight, instead they drape softly away from the body for a flattering, easy silhouette. This makes them especially comfortable for fuller thighs, mid-size and plus-size bodies, and for anyone who prefers a non-restrictive lounge short.

They are bump-friendly thanks to the flexible waistband, and equally comfortable postpartum when you want softness around the tummy.

True to size with a relaxed fit. If you love a slightly more oversized look with extra volume through the leg, you can size up. If you are between sizes and prefer a neater waist fit, you can size down and adjust with the drawstring.

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!
