Super great fit and very nice shorts - almost makes me forget I'm a mom! Ever since having kids, I am a leggings girl, and I have a hard time feeling comfortable in "regular" clothes, especially after wearing stretchy maternity clothes for 4 kids. But these shorts are sooooo comfortable, I came home and changed my shirt to nurse the baby but kept on the shorts... even laid down for a nap in them. They are flattering and feel great. They are the perfect length - not too short to be immodest, but not too long to look like a tomboy. They are classy and youthful. Seriously, I love them. I am a little over 5'2" and weigh maybe 165 with thick thighs and bum and a 1-month postpartum baby gut, and the large was perfect. They are so stretchy, so it seems like there's a lot of wiggle room. I think I could lose or gain 20 pounds, and the large would still fit me perfectly.
