This was a gift.  I am 5'3", around 132 lbs and a size 6 on most shorts.  I received this in a medium and got the light blue and the medium denim blue.  They are the best shorts I have ever owned.  They have a lot of stretch to them and are made with flattering lines.  The pockets are deep so the inside of the pocket doesn't pull.  The back has a sort of V on the material in the back that makes me look lifted and shapely.  They are short but I don't feel exposed in these.  The waistband is wide and comfortable.  The bottom cuffs are sewn down so that they don't unravel.  They will be the shorts I will wear all summer.
