I bought these in a size 4, Neo Viridian color.  I think they run pretty true to size for this kind of design (normally in shorts I would wear a 0 or 2, but that is a totally different construction from this style).  I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 for two reasons.  1: I wish they were an inch shorter.  I am very petite, and I think they would just look better on me a little shorter.  2: The drawstring should be a contrasting color.  It doesn't look that great being the same color as the shorts.  Otherwise, I am very happy with the item.  There are two snaps in the "fly" which, when open, make the shorts really easy to pull on.  Also, the waist is a very tailored fit.  I think they would still be ok for someone less curvy than myself, but be aware they are probably not great for a straight waist girl.
