I usually wear a size 4 petite but a size 4 regular was pretty tight. I am sending them back and trying a size 6, I hope they fit. They do not gap in the back, which is nice. The shorts this year from a few other stores gap in the back and I can't wear them.
These shorts have everything going for them. They are a great length...not too short but not so long that they make me look shorter than I already am (5'2"). Really are wrinkle free and need NO ironing. I have 2 pr. of stone, pair of navy and am waitig for my white ones. With a little dressier shirt and sandals, they will take me anywhere and everywhere I want to go this summer.
Most reviewer's found these shorts run small; however, I did not find this to be the case. I ordered two size up from my normal size based on other reviewers' comments. Unfortunatly, I had to send my order back because it was too big.
Order your normal size and use the measuring guide as a point of reference to see if you like your shorts more tailored or more roomy.
Now that I have the right size, I'm very happy with the slim look and durablity.
The only shorts that I buy now!!! The fit is perfect with plenty of room but not baggy!!! They wash and dry like a dream with virtually no shrinkage!! Please do not stop offering these!!!
