Love Me Long Time (Care Tips)

How to Care for Your Matilda Shorts

These denim beauties are made to move with you, but a little extra care keeps them looking their best:

Wash me cool – Cold gentle machine wash inside out to protect my colour and shape.

Keep it simple – No bleach, soaking, or harsh chemicals — I’m too good for that.

Dry me naturally – Line dry in the shade. Tumble drying isn’t my thing.

Smooth me out – If I’m crinkly, a warm iron on reverse will do the trick.

Love me long-term – Store folded or on a hanger, ready for your next bed-to-beach moment.

The first shorts I have worn in 15 years, life changing.

I stopped wearing shorts 15 years ago as I could never get the right fit on my thighs or felt uncomfortable and self conscious.
It felt like they were just not made to fit my plus size body so I gave up…
Enter TLC shorts?!?
The length, perfect.
Thigh fit, perfect.
Comfort level, perfect.
Adjustable waist, perfect.
These shorts have broken 15 years of “oh I don’t wear shorts”.
Incredible.

I did size up based on my friends experience and I’m glad I did I love the roomy fit.
