I'm usually a straight 6 at banana republic in multiple styles. I saw the reviews this runs large and tried a 4. Was still a bit large in the waist so exchanged for a 2 and they're perfect! I can dress them up for work when it's super hot and down for a chic summer look. Would size down but still love!!

First of all yes it's big but if you down a size it would work , I'm 5'3 & 152lb I purchased the light wash in a 6P I didn't wanted to snug , a relaxed fit , I love them , for me the petite size fit , hit above my knee. Definitely with a nice poplin shirt , and some pumps or high knee boots will rock these shorts.

I wear a size two and they fit like they were 3 sizes too big.

I purchase my regular size p4 for 5'5" and 122lbs. I am between regular and petite but I wanted shorter shorts than the pictures so I purchased petite. It looks very different from the pictures and is toooo biggg for me. I don't think it will look good on me even if I exchange it for a smaller size.

I was looking for a longer short and thought these might work. Holy Moley! Talk about too much fabric.... I wear an 8 and they fit very loose in the waist and the legs were huge and to the middle of my knees. I don't think a smaller size would change the overall look. I couldn't send them back quick enough.

Bought a pair of these Bermuda shorts thinking they would be longer than most but at 5'7" they hit me below the knee. A hard no - going back.
