Marjolaine’s founder originally sold tapestries and woollens, until he decided to switch to silky slips after the Second World War. Thank goodness he did, because over seven decades later the family brand has become a specialist in the kind of loungewear that you want to show off. Lustrous silk satin and Calais lace laid by hand are what do it for the Gemma shorts. With the coordinating cami they make an enticing summery set.Marjolaine silk satin shortsSlips onHigh rise, elasticated waistband, sheer lace trims, full coverage at back, cotton gusset100% silkHand wash
