Maybe I Got Faulty Merchandise?

Okay so I’ve purchased this style before in Amethyst and it was absolutely perfect. I purchased a Small and at the time I was 120 pounds with a 26 in waist. Now, I purchased Black and the waistband feels like an XS! I am 126 pounds and I purchased a Medium. It’s squeezing my waist SO much it’s so uncomfortable. I measured the waist and it’s 22 inches It’s only the waist that is faulty, the rest of short is fine. At this point I’m just going to deal with it and hope it stretches ☹️ PS: I still wear my Amethyst pair and it fits me just fine.

Perfect

Not too short not too long, opaque, soft

Fit perfectly and a flattering cut.

Runs small

I usually get M but it was absurdly small and tight, especially in the waist. had to return for L. I'm 5'5 130 lbs athletic-ish. I feel like the L is mostly just longer?? Which is not the goal

waist runs very small

Quality of the shorts are great so I wanted to like them but they are way too tight. I'm usually a xs/s but medium would have been best.

Wouldn’t recommend

Very small, tight and thin waist band.

LOVED

They’re the perfect length and don’t reveal any camel toe!!

Bomb *** shorts

Sooo good they don’t ride up my area and super stretchy

Way too high rise

My proportion is very normal but if I really want to pull this up properly the waistband almost goes up to my boobs. I have to fold down the waistband significantly to be able to wear it with skirts. Even if I don’t care about the aesthetics at that point it’s also just a bit uncomfy and restricting. It looks nice when worn alone with the bralette or with long tops though. Would love a lower rise option bc otherwise these are really great.

Nice

So far so good. Deep black color. Thank you ily
