Lolë Sandstorm Board Short - Women's - 2010 BCS

I loved the way these looked online and was looking forward to ordering a pair of shorts from a women's manufacturer. To help you in terms of fit, I ordered a size 10 because I prefer my shorts baggy, and I'd usually wear an 8ish in pants. However when I tried these on, the waist was literally falling off - I have a huge butt and small waist but its okay to wear boardshorts riding low - these fell far below my butt line unless they were cinched in with the string, which was only in a tube instead of threaded through a flat waistband and gave unattractive bunching. Oddly, though the waist must have been at least 40 inches wide, the thighs were uncomfortably tight, which I is why I gave it a pass on ordering a size down. The thighs were tight and then flared out again at the knee. To top it off, the fabric was extremely thin and I can't see scrambling around on beach rocks and boats without tearing it.

These are exactly as described. The fit well and dry very quickly. Depending on your size and how snug you like them to fit, you may want to order the next size up. The shipping time is unbelieveably fast. I wish they would have had a non halter-top non bikini top to go with them. I love them and highly reccomend them.
