    cute shorts - size up

    I'm a size 4-6, ordered the 6 in "Medium Blue". I could barely button them. I've got the 8 and 10 on the way, hopefully one works!

    Sizing is way off! I wear a 4 in most shorts but often a 6 in Universal Threads so I ordered a 6 in these and they are really tight in the waist. They fit everywhere else but they're not comfortable and ride up. I can see why other reviews complain about weggies because I could tell that would be my experience if I kept these. I think they’re just not meant for those of us with curvier bottoms.

    I knew I was going to love these shorts, but I have to return them because I ordered too big. The quality and style are really nice though, and I can definitely see myself wearing them a lot once I get the right size. I’ll for sure be ordering again when my size is back in stock. I’d probably recommend sizing down since they seem to run a little big.

    These shorts are perfect! I’m inbetween a size 26 and size 28, so based on reviews I opted for a 28, and it fits perfectly. Shorter inseam than I’m used to but the baggier leg helps it be still comfortable. I love how the light wash looks. It’s giving me 90s vibes and I think it’s so stylish.

    Size up

    Material is nice, sturdy. I needed to size up. The black fits snug compared to the other colors, so you may need 2 sizes up.

    Finally!! Shorts for hourglass body!

    The one and only pair of shorts I’ve ever found that fits snugly on my waist and loosely on my thighs and is an appropriate length. Other shorts are too tight in the thighs if they fit my waist, or too short or too long. These are the perfect fit for an hourglass body and an appropriate length without being overly conservative. So glad I found them!

    Normally a 6-8 size, order size 10 and they are perfect “everyday shorts”. Dont have to adjust them at all during the day. Really like the length and none pancake butt!

    Perfection! A dupe for the Rollas Mirage

    Perfection! I have two pair of the Rollas Mirage shorts and I love them so so much. I saw these were supposed to be a dupe and had to see. They definitely are! They fit perfectly. I’m not sure why people say they run small. They fit exactly like every true to size denim I own. They do not have much stretch, so get your true waist size and you’re good.

    Length is great but sizing is way off

    The length on these is great - they are long enough to chase my kids around but not so long that it feels frumpy. The light wash is great for summer. However, they do run very small. I ordered one size up and they fit but I have two sizes down in other denim shorts that are bigger than these. Order one size up if you want it to fit, order two sizes up if you want the "relaxed, laid back summer" look.

    Size up

    I read a bunch of reviews to size up two sizes and I’m glad I did! Normally a 6-8 I ordered a 10 and it fits perfectly. The legs are a little baggier though with needing to size up like that for the waist but it’s okay. 5’3 140lbs with 41” hip

    Great summer 'mom' shorts!

    These shorts are the perfect length. I call them my ‘mom’ shorts. They aren’t too long and not to short. They are a soft material but not too soft where they stretch over time. The size is true to size.

    What is the sizing?!

    I ordered 2 pairs. The light wash and the black. Both run small in my opinion, so I sized up one from normal size. The light wash has stretch, but the black is rigid. I couldn’t button the black pair! I like the length and the wider leg. I saw comments about wedgies- now I’m nervous about that haha

    Constant Wedgie

    True to size. And honestly very cute. Love that they’re a longer inseam. BUT, they give you a constant wedgie up the back. It’s very uncomfortable. Otherwise they fit perfectly. I’d keep them if they didn’t feel like they’re constantly riding up.

    Perfect Shorts!

    These shorts are exactly what I wanted! The rise and length are just right. My measurements matched the size description of a size 2 (27 inch waist, 36 inch hips), but after reading the reviews I decided to purchase a size 4. It fits perfectly! For reference I am 5’5” and 125-130 lbs.

    Obsessed enough to make a review lol

    These jean shorts are amazing! They are slimming and allow me to move as I do without them cutting into my legs. I think this is both the slit on the sides but also the cut. They almost have a little flair at the hem and in a fantastic way. This gives my legs a slimmer appearance (and I’m plus size, so shorts are usually ROUGH). They are a great “mom” length, yet don’t look so modest they look religious. I can bend without worrying about showing more than I’d like. Went back for every color!
