I loved the olive color I bought these in but the shorts just don’t fit me like I want them too. I’m still keeping because they still look good but they could be better.

arshopper - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
I washed the shorts before I wore them (which is what the tag said to do), but the hem frayed SO MUCH! It was a knotty mess, even though I used gentle cycle. So disappointing. They actually had a great fit, but I didn’t even get a single wear out of them.

Super cute, love the color. Sizing is really off…I suggest going up at least one size. I had to exchange a size 2 for a size 4. Really fun summer shorts once you get the right size.

I’m 5’3” currently weighing 141 pounds and I was size 4 (before I got pregnant). I gave birth 4 months ago and still has some extra weight so I bought this yesterday size 4 thinking I can save them for when “I fit”and I can’t believe After I tried the shorts on I fit! Definitely fits very good on hips, legs and butt love the high rise midi (Idk why these reviews say to size up) Well not all the bodies are the same but I’m glad I fit and I can wear these tomorrow that I’m taking my 3 boys to the zoo. :)

Sizing makes no sense

Kristen - 2 years ago
I purchased a couple of pairs of size16 in the Universal Thread high rise jeans, and they fit perfectly. I purchased these in the same size and they are Waaaaaay too small. It makes no sense to have the same brand fit so differently between sizes. Annoyed I have to remember to return them now!

Every Body is Different. Pros: fits waistline, snug on hips, my thighs fill up the leg holes Cons: Unraveling material, rolls up to my private parts, no solid stitch to keep the leg holes from material becoming undone. Eventually these shorts will be Jean material underwear. or $20 to the trash

the sizing is way off. I had to go up two sizes just to button them and by then the legs were huge and looked ridiculous

I usually wear a 8 in UT but I could not even button these up. They are not that stretchy like other UT bottoms. Cute but I might need to try a size 12 just to button them.

I normally wear a size 8 but had to size up . The material was not very stretchy so they fit too snug I had to return them. I recommend sizing 1 even 2 sizes up .

Target4Ever - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
The shorts fit and are cute but there is no reinforcing stitch around the frayed hem so every time I wash them they unravel more and more. They will be totally unwearable in a month or two.

Decent quality, but the sizing is way off. The leg openings are huge and the waist is tiny. I typically wear an 8/medium and ordered an 8. I don’t think I’ll try to size up due to the already overly large leg holes.

Kat - 2 years ago
These are really baggy in the legs so when I bend over I feel like I’m in a mini skirt. Also, since they’re so loose in the legs and fitted at the waist, they tend to just get higher and higher on my waist until they’re hardly longer than a pair of boy shorts underwear.

My usual size 4 fit well. I wear a 4/27 in Gap clothing and these fit similarly. I bought both the orange and the gray. The orange are more comfortable, as the gray do seem a bit tighter in the middle back seam. Happy with my purchase! 5'5" 127lbs

I was worried and had low expectations but these are super nice! I love the color, I got my regular size and they fit perfect, not too tight so I don’t mind that they’re not stretchy. Super affordable too!!!
