I'm 119lbs, and I purchased a size 2. I probably could've gone for a 4, but they were, of course, all sold out. Plus, getting a 4 could have potentially resulted in a super unflattering baggy look, which I'm definitely not in to.
Anyway, for me, these shorts definitely ARE high-waisted. They might not come up all the way to my "high" waist, but they don't rest on my hips, meaning that mostly everthing I wear with them will most likely be tucked-in.
Overall, I do think they're a good buy, especially for the sale price, so get a pair before your true size sells out!"
"cozy and comfy, nothing special but mos def an essential! can dress it up or down!"

NOT high waisted
(June 29, 2010)
"As mentioned before, I don't see these as high waisted. I ordered these in 2 different sizes after reading the other reviews and even the smaller shorts just looked like I had too small of shorts on- just jacked up. The pockets on the back sit too high to wear as a high waisted short. But I'm still keeping them because they're soft, comfortable, yet I think I can still dress them up nicely."

"I bought these shorts because i was looking for a summer pair that would be comfortable and light weight. Sizing was tricky. I am 5'5 and 128 lbs and I ordered a 6. Having a butt on the larger side and bigger hips i do not regret this sizing. Although the top part is baggier then i expected, it gives off a relaxed laid back summer look that i was kinda going for, and they do look very nice in the back to my surprise. One thing if you have a figure like me and are looking for nice HIGH WAISTED shorts these are NOT your match, i like them alot better non high waisted."

"I thought that these shorts were okay. I would have loved them if the color weren't so off. I ordered the beige but the color didn't look the same as it does online. However, the fit was pretty good. I'm 5'4 and about 110lbs. I ordered the 0 and it fit me just as it did on the model. But due to the color, I'm returning them."

"this shorts are perfect for summer. They are light weight and beyond comfortable. I am 5'2 120 and got a size 4. They hang on my hips and are not high waisted as on the model. Perhaps if I sized down they would fit higher, yet I really like the low slung look and feel."
"As the other reviewer said, they AREN'T made with a stiff fabric. Very loose and flexible.
I ordered a 2 and I am 108 pounds. When I buy pants that are worn more near my hips I get a 2 or a 4. I should have gotten a 0 for these shorts since my waist is small. These shorts don't stay up far for me, they just slide down to my hips. I'll have to get them adjusted, but that's partly my fault.
Anyways, they look pretty good."

"I should have known ordering these that they weren't going to look anything at all like the model on me, I'm 5'9 145lbs. I got a 6 and they fit, but weren't very flattering in the back. They front looked awesome, but unless you have slim thighs/not much going on the trunk they aren't going to lie properly."

"These are nice shorts, but they are much more lightweight than I expected. I would have given 5 stars if they were a bit stiffer. Overall, they are going to be good for hot summer days and they look really cute!"
