“Sadly too big”

“Rarely do I give a four-star review to something I've had to send back, but these deserve it--they're great shorts and if you are lucky enough to see your size here, go for it! I normally wear a 4-6 but lately have tended towards the 4 in pants/shorts as I've been cycling a lot over the last year and reigned in those curves...There were no 4's available on this item so I tried a 6 with the hope that they'd fit, but they were too big in the waist without a belt and even with a belt hung too low on my hips, making the length too long. A 4 would have fit because these weren't huge; just a little too baggy in the hips/butt. So I had to send them back. They are beauteous, though--really great sophisticated color, fantastic textured fabric, very well-made, nice detail (love the criss-cross belt loop in the back). If you are a true 6 or 8 these are a stylish, comfy, high-quality choice.”
