So glad I followed the reviews and got a size up. I’m a true 4 and got a size 6 and they fit perfectly. A 4 would have been to short and tight. But I absolutely LOVE and plan on getting them in every color!

Cute but inconsistant fit depending on color...

JLM12 - 10 days ago, Verified purchaser
These shorts are cute, the only reason I took off a star is they seem to be inconsistent with the fit depending on color. The size 0 in yellow fit at least one size smaller than the 0 in the red, especially in length. I love the yellow color enough that I just ordered a 2 and a 4 to try. The red ones, even though bigger than the yellow, also run about a size smaller than my normal size 0. I ended up with the red ones in size 2 which is perfect. These shorts are super cute, you just might need to try some different sizes to find the right fit. Universal Thread usually runs big on me so I was surprised.

'Sailor' jeans indeed. These are definitely from the Ann-Margret era and meant for an Ann-Margret body type, I think (extremely slender and not super shapely). Notes: No front pockets. Back pockets sit high, and they're big. The shorts have a flattening effect, though, while still flaring a little at the leg opening, which isn't flattering. They're also stupidly short. I have no booty and narrow hips and these still made me feel absolutely scandalized lol. The waist is accurate in terms of number sizing, but boy, at that length... I don't think I'll be wearing these, even when I'm alone. If you have no beef with hotshort length, you'll probably like these, especially for a sale price of roughly $15.

Nikki - 11 days ago, Verified purchaser
I loved these so much I bought them in red, blue and black. I love the look of these. They are longer in back and shorter in front. I am curvier at the bottom half of my body. I have no issues with gapping in the thigh or back. My only complaint is that they aren't true to size. I wear a size 4 in other brands. I sized up to a 6 in these. I could have done an 8 in the black pair. The black pair ran smaller than the other two.

Alohi81 - 12 days ago, Verified purchaser
The crotch on these shorts are crazy! They're either sewn weird or is too long so you literally HAVE to wear these pulled all the way up, with them almost going up your rear end, for them to be comfortable. And there are NO front pockets and run small! I'd have returned them if I hadn't prematurely ripped off the tags before pulling them on, but I didn't think they'd be this crazy to wear. This will probably not be worn again and then donated. I'll never rip off tags without trying bottoms on again.

Very cute shorts! I purchased the red ones, read the reviews though that said to size up and that was wrong info. The shorts were swimming on me, I should have sized down. Have to return them and unfortunately they’re only available for shipping but I don’t want to pay the shipping fee just for 1 pair of shorts to get them delivered again.

I like the thickness of the material, but the fit is off. It flares out at the thigh, which is nice, but when you bend over, it bunches in the back.

Nice shorts but purchased online and they definitely run small. I’m a size 4 typically and I read the reviews to size up so I did to a 6 and they are snug. I may try an 8 in store. Wish it had some stretch to it. I have a long torso and the top of the shorts covered my belly button so they are high waisted. Size up 1-2 sizes!
