I read all the reviews and all had the same complain, the inconsistency in the sizes, so i decided to order this Bermudas one size up, I normally use 16 so I order a 18, and they fit excellent, the fabric is very elastic, I think that the 16 should fit me as well. So, I recommend it, I order the dark color because it was on sale and I couldn't resist!, the price was Sooo low! ;D
