In pants, I wear a 4 to 6. (pants sizes can vary!) So, I ordered a 6, but I think a 4 would have been better. The 6 doesn't fall off, but that's probably because I have plenty of junk in back to hold it up. I'd like to order the 4 in same color, but it's not available at this time :-(
These shorts are VERY nice! The fabric feels so comfy, but sturdy. I think I'll be ordering more of these!
