I finally received these shorts, which was not an easy task. The seller sent the item certified, which meant I in person had to sign for the package. They are only shorts. I order things online so as to save time, it was a huge hassle. Anyway, now onto the shorts I ordered size large. I wear a size 10 very comfortably. In my mind a large should has been loose. I could barely zip them, and had a beautiful reverse camel toe. Uggg. The shorts are cute, but will not be returning them. I didn't realize they were from Singapore. My mistake, I will have to be much more diligent about ordering only from Amazon not a seller.
