So after looking up the material specs I decided to go with a 1x honestly I could have gotten away with a XL let me tell you why. So I’m 5’1 and 270 lbs waist around 38 ish and my hips are 45 ish I usually always look for more stretch and these shorts have stretch and at 1x I still have wiggle worm . Also, the cuff leg helps with not showing a lot of booty which I like . I really wish Fashion Nova would bring these back I would order all colors and the pants too!!! Pleaseeee read my post Fashion Nova and bring these back :):):):):):):):):):) I have worn the shorts in black with crop top to a button down shirt etc they are very pretty in person as well !
