Like a previous reviewer said: it's adorable butttttt. The sizing is a problem. I'm usually a medium. But from past experiences with other online vendors dealing in goth clothing, the sizing is sometimes off (why is this? Specifically with goth clothes it seems like a running trend?)
VF for the most part has always been very consistent with their sizing so that's why I've bought from them more than once.
But I was still wary enough that I went and ordered a size up. The photos of the model convinced me that even for her small frame, the shorts were very snug on her.
Glad I did size up. It BARELY fits. It's an extremely snug fit. I feel that if I were to wear it and sit down, it'd rip up the seams...
I admit I definitely gained some weight and I do need to exercise and tone up. But I know that eventually these shorts will fit me better. Even if I had already lost the weight I gained as of recent, I know I would still have to get a size up. I still stand by the opinion that even a large is way too small. I'm thinking, had they have been in stock, I would have to go to at least a 2XL to get a nice fit. And I definitely do not fit a 2XL usually.
These are really cute shorts! I do recommend them, but hopefully VF fixes the sizing on these when they start selling them again. I wanted to exchange, but they are out of everything :(
It doesn't mean I won't ever shop here again. VF is still great! Just need some tweaks with their sizing.
