Sweet surprise!!

Was hesitant about ordering these shorts because the size of them was a bit unclear!! Was thrilled when I tried them on and they were a perfect fit!! Could you kindly list the measurements of the 14W versus 18?? How is it possible that they match up somehow??Anyway I look forward to wearing them!!

Denim Jean Shorts

Loved the color blue in and quality of the denim shorts. Unfortunately, the shorts are too long and too big for me as I am only 5'1" so I would need a petite length. Too bad there were no petite shorts in denim fabric available for purchase.

Large in the waist!

I purchased the navy and white shorts. They are heavy stiff and too large. I own 4 pair the Wit and Wisdom pants and/or jeans. Returned the shorts!

cute jean shorts

Like the style of shorts but runs slightly large. Jean shorts are cute and well stitched. Love the hem and length.

Perfect walking shorts

Although I'm still in good shape, as an older woman, I've been looking for some fun denim shorts that are a bit longer. These are great and fit well.

Love these shorts!

They are the usual Wit & Wisdom quality. True to size and perfect length for me at 5'4". They don't look sloppy but provide enough coverage to be appropriate for this middle aged lady.
