The reviews on the sizing of these shorts are all over the place, as are women! So, fair enough. The waist was tight for me (hard to button it), but the rear fits well. They are a little on the short side, but probably they are perfect if you are 15-25 (I'm 40, post-baby body).  the white denim is not see-through, the pockets are in the right place.  They are a bit smaller than size but they stretch - so just sit around in them for ten minutes and they are good.
