Why You’ll Love It

From bed to beach and everywhere in between — the Matilda Shorts are here to make getting dressed feel like a treat, not a chore. With their easy boxy shape, elastic drawstring waist and those essential pockets (because we all need somewhere to stash snacks), these shorts are comfort with main-character energy.

Whether you're lounging hard or running errands in your slides, you'll be living in these.

Why you'll love her:

  • Soft 100% cotton fabric that breathes with you
  • Elastic waist with adjustable tie for that sweet-spot fit
  • Functional side pockets (yep, real ones)
  • Relaxed, boxy silhouette made for movement
  • Colour: Light Blue
  • Pregnancy and postpartum-friendly
  • Designed to match with our Matilda tops or anything in your wardrobe
How It Fits (Spoiler: Like a Dream)

The Matilda Shorts are designed with a relaxed, roomy silhouette that gives you all the comfort of loungewear, with just enough structure to wear out and about. The fit is intentionally boxy through the leg to allow for airflow and movement — no clinging or riding up.

They sit high on the waist with an elasticated waistband and adjustable drawstring, meaning you can cinch them in to suit your shape. The waistband is soft and stretchy (not tight or restrictive), making them perfect for pregnancy, postpartum, or just everyday ease.

Best suited for:
• All body shapes and sizes — thanks to the relaxed leg and adjustable waist
• Mid-size and plus-size babes looking for roomy, breathable options
• Bump- and postpartum-friendly wear (they stretch and sit comfortably under or over your bump)
• Lounging, errands, beach days, or as a cute PJ short

Size Tip:
If you’re between sizes and prefer a more snug fit, you can size down. Otherwise, stick to your usual size for that signature TLC relaxed feel.
Love Me Long Time (Care Tips)

🌸 How to Care for Your Matilda Shorts
Your Matilda Shorts are made for lounging, living, and everything in between — here’s how to keep them looking cute and comfy:
* Wash me gently – Cold machine wash on a gentle cycle, inside out to protect my colour.
* Skip the harsh stuff – No bleach or soaking; it’ll dull my vibe.
* Air me out – Line dry in the shade; tumble drying isn’t my thing.
* Smooth me out – A warm iron or gentle steam on reverse will keep me fresh.
* Store me simple – Fold or hang, and I’ll be ready for our next adventure.

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.
