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!
