These are true to size. I was tempted to order small but was afraid the sequins in the fabric would limit the stretch so I sized up to medium. 5ft 3, 30-31”w, 40” hips, very comfortable and cute! I popped the white ball off the front. It was glued on (rmv’d residue with tweezers) and imo cheapened the look of the panties. The white letters, lips in the back, and ruffles on the sides are enough. So far, the red glitter throughout the fabric it’s not falling off. Very Festive! I do not recommend sizing down.
