I bought these in a size 10.  I am a Misses size 8 pants but prefer to wear my shorts in a bigger size so that I have more room to move.  Well, with these shorts, I could not even get these on in a size 10.  They look good and were a good deal especially with Amazon but I couldn't come close to even getting them closed and I didn't bother they were sized so small.  Maybe I just got a bad pair, that can happen, but having no delusions to my pants size, I can only guess that something was wrong here.
