Pretty Shorts

Purchased the shorts for my holiday and a smart restaurant in particular. They are lovely and comfortable. One negative would be they are a little see-through.

Just buy them!

These are lovely shorts, true to size, great quality cotton, finished with a scalloped hem to add a bit of detail. They aren't lined but are thick enough for that not to be an issue. I"m pleased i purchased them. Excellent value for money.

Too see through

No, I don't recommend this

Bought these for summer holiday but found they were far too see through for me so had to return. Otherwise looked great and liked the scalloped hem but couldn't get over how thin they were.

Better Than Expected

I bought these to wear around the flat to keep cool, but they are nice enough to wear outside too. The style is relaxed so they aren't too overtly sexy even though quite short. I bought a size 6.
