Perfection
This short came very quickly. It is extremely flattering. I'm 4'ft 11 and 115lbs. It gave my bottom an A shape with a nice waist. I got it in black so it somewhat hides my rolls when I sit. It's not too think or thick. Perfect length. It smells nice too. This is definitely worth the price and will be a stable piece. I love this so much.

Size up!
Sizing is off. I am a 4 in all my Effortless pants but when I tried this on, it was so tight. I compared it to the limitless shorts, also size 4, and the waist length was visibly shorter! I would recommend sizing up.

Perfect length for longer legs
Love the material, the pleating, the cut. Opted for this length over the mid-thigh option as I have longer legs and proportionally these look better.

Cute fit but unfortunately see through
I purchased these in the light birch colour because I have the pants also and I wanted a cute pair of dress-y shorts for summer. Unfortunately, although the fit was cute, I could not get over the pockets on both the front and the back being see through. It made them look cheap. I had to return them unfortunately

Great length
Love the length. Not too short and not too long. I find the mid thighs to be a little too long for my liking. These are just the right length
