Love these!

I have every color and I’m going to get the blue jean and white ones as well. I love the dolphin cut. Very flattering! It’s best to let them air dry and not in the dryer, they won’t curl up that way.

Terrible!

These short have been washed 2x's on cold and the color transfered on to other items in the wash. The hem also rolls up after each wash so you have to iron the hem. These are terrible do not buy!

Cute and comfy when I tried them on. However, the shorts are curling up badly after the first wash and dry. I haven't worn them yet...

Great summer short

I bought the green shorts. Very true to size, if not a little roomy. As a petite gal the size 2 fit me perfect and the length is great.

Runs large but stretchy!

I really wanted to like this more—I wore it for a few hours and it stretched out!! Size DOWN! The extra fabric rolls up—I wish it had a stronger hem, since the opening is so nice on my leg.

Comfy but style not flattering

I own prior years Wit and Wisdom shorts and love the high waisted style and the design with the extra pockets and hem bottom. These new ones are still comfy but don’t look flattering and are kind of matronly. Can’t return them anymore as I waited past the return period sadly. Please bring back the old cute styles
