I bought 2 pairs of these shorts, both in size 11. It was gonna be a hit or miss, and thankfully it was a big hit!! I literally have 2 new favorite pairs of shorts! I usually wear a 13, without stretch or minimal stretch. I ALWAYS read reviews, it’s a must in my opinion. And seeing that they have a good amount of stretch, and they are low rise (i only wear low rise) and i love the color and the back pockets of stars. I hit the jackpot! It’s like they were made for me, perfect in every place. I would recommend sizing down just one size from what you normally wear, because of the stretch, you won’t regret it.
