  • Definitely worth buying!!!
Size: 31 Color: (New) Multiple Choice
I’m so happy that I bought these shorts. The material is soft but feels durable like they’ll last a long time. I usually wear 29 but I got a 31 because I looked at size chart & measured myself just in case and it’s accurate. It’s all buttons and no zipper no stretch at all. They cover my cellulite & they are more on the modest side for shorts. I live in the south and it gets so hot during the summer I need shorts but I don’t want them too short. Definitely worth the price. I can’t believe I had these sitting in my cart for so long. I should have bought them a long time ago. They ride up a little bit but not too bad since they are pretty long. Reading other reviews made me nervous because I’m not the type of person to return things so it’s always a gamble for me. I’ll definitely be buying other colors. ... show more

  • Great quality, not for my body type.
Size: 32 Color: (New) Pleased to Meet You
These shorts are super nice. The material is thick with little stretch. I normally wear size 10 or 12 in jeans and bought a size 32 in these shorts and they fit, but I don't feel comfortable becuase they're a bit tight from the waist. Even the most slimming tops gave me a muffin top. Also they were a bit long for my 5'1 frame, but I knew they were 6in . Just fold them and they look great. I loved the thickness of the denim but I normally wear fitted tops and these were unflattering on me. I weight 160lbs and carry most of my weight in the mid section. Since I don't fully love how they look on me, I'm gonna return. Attached are some pictures for reference ... show more

  • Very cute
Size: 30 Color: (New) Take Off
Super cute shorts. I did not find the reviews of the shorts being too small , accurate. I have two other Levi’s in the same size and these arrived and fit as a loose fit as advertised. If you want a tighter fit size down .

  • Perfect fit
Size: 28 Color: (New) Ticked and Untied
I’m 5’3 155lbs and these are PERFECT. I ordered size 28. I have a natural hourglass shape and it’s been impossible to find denim that fits. My fat still rolls over the top when I’m not paying attention but at least I don’t look like a play dough fun factory anymore lol. I was 120lbs when i got pregnant and haven’t felt comfortable in anything tight fitting since my body changed so much. These make me feel like a Pixar mom!! I’m getting them in every color!!!!! ... show more

  • Not real Levi’s
Size: 26 Color: (New) Ticked and Untied
The pair of Levi’s I received are not real. They seem counterfeit. They are pretty cute but the material and quality are SERIOUSLY lacking compared to my other Levi shorts pictured in the first 3 photos above. You can see the comparison.. the buttons on the ones I just ordered feel like plastic almost..Will definitely be returning. ... show more

  • Winner
Size: 32 Color: (New) Take Off
I love the way these look but they are not sit down shorts if that makes sense..I love the wash, I love the way they look and feel, they can be cuffed at the bottom and still be the perfect length, they do wonders for the bottom, and pretty comfortable until I sit lol I’ll keep them because that’s the only issue. They’re definitely a winner! Material quality: 100% cotton and a true rigid denim Size: Size up if you’re curvy! These will form to your shape with wear but run a little small ... show more

  • Best mom shorts!!
Size: 31 Color: (New) Multiple Choice
These are high waisted, super comfy and very flattering!! I was looking for a pair of shorts that my thighs wouldn’t eat and these were it! Good price point and the material is a little stretchy but not too much, highly recommend these!!!

  • Good short
Size: 30 Color: Case Closed
Too pricey for my preference but it's a great quality short. Size 30 is a bit too big for me, and 29 too tight. Have to return for this reason. But will buy back when I lose bit more weight.
