Wow - I'm kind of shocked at the reviews.  I was psyched to order these, assuming they would fit perfectly and be flattering.  They just weren't!  I'm a size 6-8 in shorts and ordered the 8.  The fit was just odd!  The buttons at the top didn't quite line up with the midsection of the shorts and the fit in the hips was tight and unattractive.  I thought about sizing up but the length of the shorts from waist to crotch was already too long for me.  The print reminded me of 70s polyester men's pants.  The quality seemed fine enough and the butt/pocket placement was good.  The overlook look just made me feel frumpy and older than I am.  Not good.
