1990s Clockhouse by C&A Sanderson ‘Chelsea’ Rose Floral High Waisted Cotton Shorts

I was so excited to find these shorts in this classic floral print, more commonly seen on 1980s sofas. My nan had upholstery in this print! 

In soft medium-weight cotton, they are perfect for summer or layering with tights in cooler months. The high waisted design is super flattering with no pockets for a smoother line and fastens with a hidden side zip. 

Size 6-8

Buying Vintage

Don’t always believe the label - vintage sizes come up much smaller than modern sizes. To confirm your Vintage Akimbo size and for instructions on how to take your measurements, please check my Size Guide - all you need is a tape measure!
