I ordered a size medium in these and I am a size 9 in juniors or a 7 in womens. These fit my legs but the waist is oddly loose, with no elasticity at all and no way of holding them up. Not only that, but they are very thin and would show any type of undies you're wearing, even a thong. They are somewhat see-through too. So I got dressed early in the morning to go to work for my nanny job and I didn't see any of this then, but I got to work and realized the lines of my boy short undies were very visable and everytime I bent over or sat down practically my entire butt fell out. I gave this two stars instead of one because the length and fit around my legs was good (I am 5'3 but they would be best on 5'4-5'5") and they would be cute if they would stay up and were a bit thicker. I am going to shrink them in the wash and see what happens. I can deal with the thin and see-through part if I'm wearing them around the house.
