Lovely cut of shorts on my shape. Plenty of room and not too short that they ride up! Good quality material.

Not for me.

No, I don't recommend this

Unfortunately these were not for me. They were shapeless, and I felt they looked a bit old fashioned.

Nice quality but sizing off

Yes, I recommend this

Really nice and flattering, perfect length for me at 5”2 and approaching 60. Only gripe is that I bought two different colours in the same size and one is perfect but the other has a smaller waist and it’s a struggle to pull up over my hips.

I bought these shorts in white to take on holiday. They feel nice against my skin and are a lovely bright white. Nice fit and a good length in the leg. I'm only 5ft. Great quality and a good price.

Great shorts, great value

Yes, I recommend this

Great shorts for a more mature lady! Not too short but also not the unflattering heavy cotton, down to the knee type either! I bought two pairs and sizing is accurate as well.

Great purchase.

Yes, I recommend this

I like these shorts because, being tall, others come up too short. These are great, not just for holidays but lounging in the house or garden in summer. Yes, they do crease but my hand held steamer sorted that out in minutes! Cool and comfortable. Tempted to get another pair!

Great shorts if you prefer them longer in the leg.

Yes, I recommend this

As a more mature lady I was looking for a slightly longer leg on my shorts for summer. These are perfect and can be dressed up or down.
