Great fit
I like these shorts a lot. They are very comfortable. I got two colors I wish I had gotten more. I was worried about if I had the correct size but they were perfect.

White shorts are a bit see thru
First, I am not a fan of the hidden metal hooks and interior button at the waist band. Always seems to stick out and not lay flat on me. The material is a bit see-through in the white that I bought but I will wear with a long tee top, to cover the visible panty. The frayed leg hems seem to be chopped a lot more raggedy and uneven than it appeared online. The overall stretchy fit is very comfortable, and I really needed white shorts, so am keeping them at the clearance price.

A little tight
I purchased in the green. I have other Democracy shorts that I ordered in my usual 14 and they fit great, but these are a little tight in a 14. Im afraid a 16 would be too big. These have very little stretch. The color is nice. Ill keep since I am losing weight, another 5-10 pounds and theyll be perfect. If youre between sizes I would order up.
