I was really excited for this purchase, I ordered size M because I am always that size for bottoms (bikinis or V.S. underwear) and just in case I even double checked the waist measurements on the website, but when I got mine, the fabric, the sizing runs BIG (I compared the length of this to a V.S. size M and you clearly see how wider the hips are), I am so sad because the quality is amazing, and designs are very thoughtful, but I won't be able to use them because they are simply too big for me :(
This is why, I would recommend to SIZE DOWN
