They do shrink up. I wear a 18-20. The xxl are too big , so I bought the XL. They were nice until after the wash. Waist is fine it’s in the leg. The fabric is really nice. Very comfortable.

The Eddie Bauer brand has never disappointed me with their quality. These shorts are nice and soft. It is a button up short which I appreciate and I'd consider these shorts the right amount of strechiness. They look great, that's all I have to say.

Waistband makes any shirt hanging over it look puffy. A bit short for most adult women. Quality material and design though.

These shorts are very comfy. I bought in 3 colors. The material is soft, waistband is stretchy. They have a nice length and the legs fit well. They do rum very big. I am 150lbs. Wear size 8/medium and I had to buy extrasmall to fit.

I love these shorts! They are extremely soft and comfortable. They did run a little large so I exchanged my size medium for a small.

These shorts are stretchy, comfortable and appear to be good quality. They run a bit big, but I’m not mad about it! As one other review mentioned…the buttons are a bummer, but the elastic waist allows you to just pull the shorts down, instead of unbuttoning. I purchased the pink color and they’re so pretty! Thick thigh friendly and I really can’t say enough good about them! I haven’t worn shorts in a long time, but these have converted me! I want them in every color 😘 The only con is that I wish they were a bit longer and the they’d be absolutely perfect!

These Eddie Bauer shorts are really comfortable. They do run big so size down. Elastic waist makes the shorts even more comfortable. Large pockets are a nice feature. Button fly that I have not seen since the 70’s but that makes the shorts unique. I have not washed the shorts yet. Other reviewers say the color wash’s out so update maybe provided. I’m going to purchase the pink pair. Really comfortable!

these shorts are very comfortable to the touch. they hug in all the right places on my figure without constricting my movement. the pockets ACTUALLY have the capacity to hold my items (back pockets have buttons to ensure nothing slips out during movement) and it has belt loops which accommodate slim and normal belt sizes. the only thing I'm slightly weary about is the buttons: in place of a zipper, there are three buttons (with the regular button that a pair of pants would have above the zipper). so four buttons keeping my shorts together. so far, there have been no peekaboos or issues with the buttons but I honestly didn't expect there to be only buttons clasping the shorts.

Very comfortable, had to exchange to a small, runs big

These fit great, the legs don’t ride up when you walk and are so comfortable.
