I love how these shorts fit and fell they are so soft. I sized down and purchased a small. I'm usually a medium in shorts, but I saw how the material was stretchy, so I purchased a sized down, and I'm soooo happy I did. They fit perfectly and fitted how I wanted it. For reference, I'm 5ft 3½in, weigh 150lbs, have a 30in waist, a 41 hip size, and I wear a size 7 in jeans. Definitely size down ladies if u wish to have a more fitted look. They are really stretchy, so no worries about them being too tight.
