Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

i love these shorts!!! great for home, warm weather, sunny days, beach trips. Very comfortable and light, but not thin, sheer or flimsy. Ordered XL, my waist is 36, hips 44, and even though the XL fits, I would probably order L next time because they're a bit big. I know they're supposed to be loose on you anyhow, but i can order a size down and still be safe. The XL would probably even fit someone with a 40-44*** waist, because the waistband has a lot of stretch. *** i'm guestimating here OK, just measured and i was right. i stretched out the waistband of the XL to capacity and it measured 48 inches. So if you're a bigger person and, following the image supplied, you know the part of body the waist band will fall on will measures 48 or less, go ahead and buy. They reach me about 4-5 inches above the knees. I'm short...5'1"
