    Great style! Fab fit.

    Pro: Great style, great fit, great dark denim. Love they don't fit like hot bike shorts. // Con: After about 5 washes, one of the shorts started to fray in the pocket in a couple of places. Very surprized, since this is not lightweight denim.// Fit: I'm 5'5", 159 lbs, 463" hip, and the size 12 fit well.

    Super flattering even on a size 16 mom!

    These are my new favorite shorts - they are surprisingly flattering because of the wide-leg design. They are short so they do ride up a bit, as is to be expected.

    Cute shorts, like the medium wash, good for bigger thighs

    I liked these shorts. The length is good, as is the rise. They're also big enough in the legs to accomodate bigger thighs.

    Cute, but size up.

    Super cute and look like good quality, just didn’t fit. They fit a bit smaller than other shorts I’ve gotten from this brand.

    Cute but sizing didn't work for my body

    These are cute but the sizing is terrible. I need an in between size because of the huge differences between the 16 and 17. I typically wear a 16/xl for reference. The 17 fit and was a little loose in the hips and legs, like a looser fit style, but was too big in the waist. I couldn’t even button the 16 and they were way too tight in the hips. According to the size guide there should only be an inch difference in the torso and a 2 inch difference in the hips. I don’t feel this is accurate. The sizing feels like the result of not using real bodies to increase pattern sizes. They didn’t even seem like they were same pair of shorts. I was disappointed that these did not work for me.

    Perfect rise and fit. Length is short but not too short. Also waist fits well with no gap.

    Cute fit

    I bought these online so I wasn’t sure how they’d fit. I was hoping they would be high enough to cover my belly button but they reach right below it. My belly button is stretched out from having kids 🥲 but they make my butt look cute so I’m going to keep them and try to work w it

    Very ill-fitting

    These shorts are just not made or designed correctly. They are very ill-fitting, and not flattering at all. The legs are huge, and stick way out in the back. It's as if they want to be a flared mini-skirt. They also don't sit well. They ride lower in the front than in the back, instead of sitting straight across the hips. It's like the rise is too short in the front. I have included a photo to show how weird the legs are. Sadly, I will be returning these.
