I was cautiously optimistic when I bought these and they didn't disappoint! I have a 27-28" waist depending on the time of day :) and wide hips, and was nervous that the elastic might not stretch enough but it did! Once on, my size Medium was a perfect fit at the waist. I think if my waist were any bigger, though, I would consider sizing up to a Large. If you have the right fabric for your top, these can be dressed up or down, and are a perfect summer short for classy-casual.

Amazing to hear!! Thanks for the kind review xx

Love the fit, however...

The fit of these shorts is near perfect. So flattering on the waist and I like the length and big pockets too. However, these are pull-on shorts with not quite enough elastic in the waistband. I could barely get them on/off. I would probably be stuck in them after a big dinner. Maybe a size bigger would have worked better, but the waist on these was amazing once on. I wanted to love these, but will be returning

Hi Carli! Thanks for the feedback! We will pass this info onto our production team for the next time we restock the Val Shorts :) xx

Perfect

Measurements (in): 33, 29, 40
Size purchased: M

Excellent drape. Fits snug in the waist without being constricting thanks to the elastic at the back. Skims over the hips and glutes nicely and loose around the thighs. Feel both put together and relaxed in these shorts.

These will be perfect for a Texas summer. Fabric is thin but with the black shorts I don't see that being a problem.

Would love these in a deep ruby/wine color.

Amazing!! Thank you for the detailed review! xx

Gorgeous summer shorts, but sizes run small

I love the material, and contrary to other people’s comments, I don’t find them too thin or see-through. Maybe they changed the fabric.
I’m 5’9”, with ~27” waist and 37” hips. I ordered the M based on the sizing chart.
And I’m a bit conflicted- I loooove the material, fit, and feel. It’s high quality, the pockets are a great feature. It fits comfortably overall, is loose around the hips, but is very fitted in the waist. I do feel that when I take deep breath or I’m full after a meal, it gets too tight around the waist, which isn’t very comfortable.
I wish the M was closer to a 28”, and then it’d be perfect. Maybe I do need to try the L, but I worry that’s too big at the hips.

Cute style but thin fabric and see through

I really wanted to love this. Unfortunately it didn't workout for me. The linen fabric for this particular color is very thin and see through - even with nude undies on. Sadly I had to return it. Hopefully in the future they will cut with a thicker linen fabric or at least add a lining. I did keep the brown pair though since that one had a medium weight ply linen and it's not see through at all. The shorts fit TTS for me and the overall design is great but it fell short on the thinness of the fabric.

Good, could be better

I really appreciate brands that let customers leave reviews. I found this brand while looking for an ethical company selling linen shorts with an elastic waistband. I bought these shorts looking to replace my Elizabeth Suzann Clyde shorts. I appreciate the eco friendly packaging these were shipped in.

The black linen is just barely opaque (significantly lighter weight than Elizabeth Suzann’s mid-weight linen). The front waist band is very creased being a thin material, I wish this was reinforced with sturdier material like some of my other high waisted shorts.

I normally wear a size 2 in shorts. I’ve got 36” hips and a 29” waist. The size small fits me well. The front pleats hide my belly pooch ;)

Didn’t work for me :-(

I really wanted to like these but they were not flattering on my body type- for reference I am 5’1 and about 110 pounds with a short torso. I was also a bit surprised at how thin these were- basically see thru and the quality didn’t match my other items I’ve purchased from Whimsy & Row. I wish these worked out for me but I still think they’re worth trying!

Perfect shorts

I struggle to find pants and shorts in general because of my measurements - 28" W, 40" H - but these in a medium are absolutely perfect! The waist is stretchy, but they have plenty of space in the hip area. Plus they have a nice inseam so they don't ride up. Love the fabric and drape - they're going to be perfect for summer!

Can't wait to wear

Purchased for upcoming spring and summer. Tried these on and they are great. Not too short or long, will be easy to dress up or down. I purchased them in both colors.

best shorts ever

I bought these a couple of weeks ago in the shop, and can’t get enough. The fit, the fabric, the pockets! the tat says dry clean only, but i’ve thrown them in the wash and dried them and they are still perfect. Not to mention, the shop owner and designer, Rachel, was so friendly and rad. When these come back for 2020, i’ll buy every color!
