I usually wear a size 4 in jeans, so my size is usually Small if sizes run larger/true to size or Medium if they run smaller (think Juniors). My natural waist measures about 26" and my hips are 37".

In reading the other reviews, I thought these shorts would run small, so I ordered a Medium. They fit, kind of, but they're definitely too roomy for my taste, and a little too long. Otherwise, these shorts are very comfortable, with a soft fabric liner to the mesh outside. Just wish I hadn't misjudged the sizing.
