“cute style, color...but short”

“I bought this specifically for running, and I am 5'5 with a medium build...and pear shaped. I was concerned about the length so I got an XL, rather than a M or L. (I'm about an 8-10) It really looks cute on, although the waist is large and has to be cinched quite a lot with the drawstring. I am glad I went XL for the length, but find it kind of impratical for running sinc it sags so much even with the drawstring. Also, an ipod in the inner pocket adds to the drag. The shorts stayed put for the most part, only riding up a little, but I spent the run fussing with the skort so much that it was a pain. I should not have tried to compensate for the shortness with an XL, but I will still use it for walking and low impact summer activities. So overall a cute well made product, but according to the other reviews short, but true to size all around.”
