these shorts are thee most adorable things in the world!! they just look...darn cute. Buut if I could make my rate a 4.5 I would, because they are indeed, small. I wear size 3 in jr.s jeans. These fit me just close to right. So I'm satisfied. As for quality, well they are crochet...which equals delicate...so if you have cats who jump on your lap and stuff, don't wear them for that. and you should be fine with avoiding rips and tears if you don't sit on some rosebush or anything. hah. But overall super cute shorts, especially for the price. That makes it even better.
