These shorts are adorable and only look a tiny bit like your governess made them out of the parlor curtains. They’re high-waisted and have a pretty short inseam, so I was seduced by the fabric, put them on at home, and immediately went HAHAHANO. But I’m old and cranky. YMMV. 52%/48% easy-care poly/cotton blend. This pair is in very good preowned condition (as jacquard is wont to do, there are a few stray threads here and there); no stains/rips. Measured flat: 14” waist 11” rise 2.5” inseam
