AMAZING!
These shorts are amazing! They are soft and smooth and flattering. I love this fabric. They are long enough that I don't have to worry about showing too much, but not so long that I look like a park ranger. I got the brown. The white and pink were too thin. Please make them in black, grey, green, navy, etc. I will be checking back every week for more colors!

Quality Issue
The fit and style is amazing, plus they’re so soft and comfortable! However, after one wear/wash they’re so pilled—so disappointing! I thought they would be the BEST Varley dupe😩 until I washed them.

love!
The only thing I would change is to make them slightly less high rise, these come well above my belly button and I have a long torso. I appreciate the inseam length though. I got the matching tank and it’s such a cute comfy set for summer! I sized down in the top and bottom to small top and medium bottom. I’m usually a 10/Large in shorts (8 in pants/leggings) and medium/large top depending on the style. I think a medium top could have fit oversized too but it was sold out anyways.
