These shorts are definitely not true to size.. I normally wear a size 9 but wanted them a little snug so ordered a size 7 and yet they still don't fit good! I want to return them but they removed the return shipping label so I will have to pay $9.99 to return for another pair! What I do like is the very fast shipment of my order.. If they could possibly change the policy for returns they'll have a customer for life!
