1990s Vivid Orange Cotton Blend Shorts by Karen Scott

Who doesn’t need a pair of fabulous orange shorts in their wardrobe? This pair is perfect with a flattering high waist with a pleat-front, pockets and the added bonus of  an attractive adjustable waist that is semi-elasticated as waist measurements can change a little. 

If these shorts were my size I would definitely keep them!

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!

For reference, our model Flo is a UK 6-8 in Vintage Akimbo sizing.
