A Little Too Short

3 out of 5 stars
evmarcotte - 2 days ago
I was so excited to buy these shorts, but they fell a little short. Pun intended. The inseam was shorter than I expected and like the other reviews, I had to size up from a 6 to an 8 for these to button comfortably. If they were just a smidge longer, I would have totally bought one of each color.

Weird crotch area

They do run small but I didn’t mind the length. I decided not to purchase because the crotch area makes me look like I am ‘packing’. These would have been cute otherwise, so disappointing.

They are so cute but they run so small!!! I tried these on in store today my usual size 10 and they fit me how a size 6 would. I definitely would size up a size or two!!

I would not recommend. I am 125 lbs & 5’3- these are B-cheek shorts on me. Ordered a medium (larger than my usual). I am size 4 and 5’3- medium is still a suffocating B cheek short. Tried a size 5 and still is showing my bottom.

I always buy universal thread brand denim in the same size. When I tried these on, they were so small I couldn't close the button. I thought I had just gained a lot of weight or something but then I thought to compare them to my old universal thread jeans that are the same size and if anything, have shrunken from being washed and dried so often. Well. These new jeans are 2 inches smaller at the waist compared to my old pair. I am returning them

Very flattering & perfect length! I’m 5’5, 127lbs, 27 inch waist and i bought a size 4. I have loose skin around my hips from having kids but a flat tummy. The size 2 fit but very tight, the size 4 was way more forgiving on me. Jean shorts are essential for summer but these have a slightly different cut without the pockets on the front, I’ll be pairing these with a cropped tank top and Jack Rogers flip-flops.

The shorts are very flattering but they ride up fairly easily. If your sitting down they feel a bit to short so I had to keep adjusting the shorts.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am picture. They are wearing a size 00 And they fit absolutely perfectly. I weigh about 95 pounds. I am petite and I love the length of the stretchiness of these black shorts. The material is really comfortable is not too heavy and I can easily move around while wearing these if you’re looking for the perfectly shorts and black, you’re absolutely going to like these. I received an incentive to write this review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love these shorts. They are so cute high rise a black denim. I love how short the inseam is it was so comfortable. There are front and back pockets and a button and zip closure. I typically wear a size 14 to 16. I ordered these in a size 14 and they were a little bit snug but they fit and I really like them. Maybe size up if you have a thicker waist like I do, but honestly, they buttoned and fit just fine. I received an incentive to write this review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a terrific pair of shorts. They fit my daughter perfectly. She is wearing the size 4 and I would recommend staying true to size. She is wearing the color black. These shorts are high-rise, which makes them much more comfortable to wear. They have a slim leg but the leg does not fit too tight. And they have a 2 1/2 inch inseam. I typically would consider this to be too short, but I felt like these actually did not look too short on my daughter. I received an incentive to write this review.

Sailor cut black denim shorts

sozieanjbanj407 - 2 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am not sold on these “sailor fit” denim shorts in black. The material is very stiff and does not have much stretch at all. The black also seemed a bit faded, without it being mentioned that they were distressed or anything like that. The size 12s fit closer to a 10/11 and the sailor cut hits my mid section at a weird spot. The legs had a good fit for me, but the waist was not working at all. They are on the shorter side also. I received an incentive to write this review.

sozieabakerbungalow - 2 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been looking for some new jean shorts so I ordered these in a size 6. I typically wear a size 6 in other brands, but these were way too small for me. I wish the inseam was a couple inches longer and I definitely would need to try a bigger size to fit around the waist and hips better. I do like the high-rise waist line and the color of the denim. The quality of the shorts seems pretty good, they just don’t fit me. I received an incentive to write this review.

Typically a size 0, and sized up to a 2 in these (5’5, 115lbs). Fit just like the picture - Very flattering, high waisted with belt holes but roomy in the booty (I hate shorts that hug your thighs). Not much stretch, if any. These remind me of 3” high waisted jcrew linen shorts from a few years ago. Got them in denim and black - please make more colors!
