Material may look stained
There was a weird stain in the denim on the back and it looks like it was just made that way. I think it’s just the material of the shorts but it’s kind of inconvenient that it looks like a stain. It’s pretty big too. I didn’t notice it when I bought the shorts unfortunately.

sizing is wrong on site
The sizing on Nordstrom site says 2,4,6 et but the shorts are sized in 25,26,27 etc.
so I ordered a 4 and 6 but they sent 26 and 28. I need to order a 27 lol!
Cute color though and great fit and length

Need larger size
Too small could not even button the shorts. My teenage daughter also tried them on and she normally wears a size 0 and also could not button them how do we exchange? If fit they look nice, I received a size 4.

Great shorts
These shorts are great quality and super comfy. My daughter struggles with textures and often can’t wear denim shorts, but she absolutely loved these! They fit perfectly and look amazing too
