I measured and used the size guide to pick the right size. They fit perfect! My size has a longer inseam so I don’t have to worry about buns showing out the bottom or inner thigh chub sticking out. The cuffed design helps keep the shorts from riding up. They have great stretch, so much I would think that you could go down a size if you wanted them to be skin tight.I wash in my front load washer on delicate and cold water. Dry in the dryer on low heat. No problems and material is durable.I like the color a lot. It was a brighter pale blue than I expected but I like it more than I thought I was getting from the screen image difference.I wear these shorts more than the more expensive ones!No problems with the zipper opening unexpectedly or getting stuck.They look great casual or dress them up with a nicer blouse and heels.
