Why You’ll Love It

The Matilda Shorts in Daydream are made for slow mornings, busy afternoons, and everything in between. Crafted from 100% cotton slub, they feature a breathable, lightweight feel with a beautiful natural texture that only gets better with wear.

The exclusive Art by Saint print showcases a hand drawn blue base layered with darker blue florals and soft white flowers. The print feels calming, fresh, and easy to style, giving you that effortless look without even trying.

Designed with a soft elastic waistband, adjustable drawstring, and a wider leg fit, these comfortable women’s shorts are made to move with you. They are bump-friendly, postpartum-friendly, and relaxed enough for everyday wear while still feeling put together.

  • Comfortable women’s shorts in breathable 100% cotton slub
  • Lightweight cotton shorts with natural textured finish
  • Elastic waistband with adjustable drawstring for a flexible fit
  • Relaxed-fit shorts with a wider leg silhouette
  • Functional side pockets for everyday ease
  • Bump-friendly and postpartum-friendly design
  • Unlined for an airy, relaxed feel
  • Size-inclusive fit suitable for mid-size and plus-size women
  • Exclusive Art by Saint hand drawn floral print

These are the shorts you throw on when you want to feel comfortable but still look like you have your life together. School drop off, coffee runs, growing a human, or just enjoying a quiet moment, they are made for all of it.

How It Fits (Spoiler: Like a Dream)

The Matilda Shorts are designed with a relaxed, wider leg fit that gives you extra movement and comfort through the hips and thighs. They are intentionally loose fitting and non-clingy, making them ideal for warm weather and everyday wear.

The elastic waistband sits comfortably at your natural waist and stretches to accommodate your body as it changes. You can wear them high waisted for shape or slightly lower for a more casual feel. The adjustable drawstring allows you to tailor the fit, making them bump-friendly during pregnancy and comfortable postpartum.

If you prefer a slouchier oversized look, you can size up. If you are between sizes and prefer a neater waist fit, you can size down thanks to the flexible elastic.

A little TLC for your piece

Cold gentle machine wash with similar colours.
Do not bleach.
Line dry in shade to preserve colour and fabric texture.
Warm iron on reverse if needed.
Do not tumble dry.

Please note, the natural slub texture is part of the fabric’s charm and gives each piece its unique character.

Can't wait to buy more!

Very comfortable, very cute! I love that they're lounge-y enough to wear around the house but I can still pop on a cute top and run an errand. As I wear them I can tell they're going to get even more comfortable, andI'm so excited for that!

Great quality, need a smaller size

I love the fabric and feel of these shorts, they are so comfy and love that it's all natural fibres. However I am an 8 and got the smallest size but they still look too big on me - they balloon out at the front and ride up between my thighs - I wish they did an XXS!

Beautiful pattern & the comfiest fit!

I’m absolutely in love with the Garden Breeze Matilda Shorts from The Lullaby Club! The pattern is so beautiful and feminine, it instantly caught my eye. I sized up for a super relaxed fit, and I’m so glad I did because they are unbelievably comfortable. The fabric feels light, breezy and perfect for warm days. These are definitely becoming a staple in my wardrobe. Highly recommend if you love an effortless & comfy style!

Bump approved!!

I'm 32 weeks pregnant and the fit is perfect! I chose the size L/XL to fit the bump and to compliment my size postpartum. I prefer a roomy pair of shorts so I do see these fitting me perfectly when I return to a smaller size.
So comfortable, washes really well AND looks so cute!

Shorts of my Dreams!

I have shied away from shorts for years now. Post babies I have struggled with being able to find any that fit my shape in a way that I feel comfortable. Shorts that don’t get eaten by my things or bum after every step. That aren’t too short or too long. And I’ve finally found them! The comfiest waistband, floaty, perfect length, no riding up and POCKETS!! I cockle easily wear the M/L but I like having a bit more fabric for that floaty feel, and the extra length for my height!
