Why You’ll Love It

The Matilda Shorts in Pear Gingham Embroidery are your easy, everyday essential with a playful twist. Made from 100% breathable cotton with delicate embroidered detailing, these comfortable women’s shorts are light, loose, and designed for real life.

The soft pear-toned gingham base feels fresh and uplifting, while the embroidery adds texture and charm without feeling overdone. The lightweight cotton fabric keeps them breezy and breathable, perfect for warm days or relaxed layering.

Designed with a relaxed fit and wide-leg shape, these stylish and relaxed-fit shorts feature a comfortable elastic waistband with an adjustable tie for a flexible, custom feel. Functional pockets make them practical, while the unlined finish keeps them airy and soft against the skin.

  • 100% breathable cotton fabric with embroidery
  • Lightweight, loose and breezy feel
  • Pear-toned gingham with embroidered detail
  • Elastic waist with adjustable tie
  • Relaxed wide-leg short fit
  • Functional side pockets
  • Unlined for an airy finish
  • Bump-friendly and postpartum-friendly design
  • Size-inclusive women’s shorts
  • Made in PRC

These are the kind of everyday wear shorts for women that feel as good as your favourite lounge piece but still look put together. Comfortable enough for home, cute enough for coffee runs. Growing a human or chasing one, you do not have to sacrifice comfort to feel good in what you are wearing.

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 tie allows you to customise the fit for a snug or more relaxed feel.

Through the hips and thighs, they feature a relaxed wide-leg fit that does not cling. The loose silhouette makes them especially flattering for mid-size and plus-size bodies, and comfortable for fuller thighs.

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 prefer a slightly more oversized look with extra room 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 tie.

A little TLC for your piece

Cold gentle machine wash with similar colours.
Wash inside out to protect embroidery.
Do not bleach.
Line dry in shade.
Warm iron on reverse if needed, avoiding direct heat on embroidery.
Do not tumble dry.

Treat the embroidered detailing with care to maintain its texture and longevity.

Matilda black shorts for the win

I love these shorts because they are so easy to style in different ways. I love a matching set with the black top but also with the red gingham . Can be dressed up and dressed down with the top and accessories .
