Pleated shorts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The only women these shorts would look good on are a size 0. I’m a 12 and they fit but totally make me look like an obese person! Will never wear.

Not “made well”
Received these shorts today and was excited to see that the cut, style, and fabric matched my expectations. I was very unhappy to see that the button provided for secure inside closure did not have a matching button hole.. Quality control was lacking on this garment. I wish Nordstrom Rack had the same return policy that Nordstrom does. It is definitely not worth almost $10 to send this back for this defect, but I should not have to pay full price for this, even at the discounted price. There should be some way to get partial compensation for a product that is defective.

Promising, but did not deliver what was expected
I think there is nothing wrong with the shorts; perhaps it is too long for my shorter legs. All I can tell is that it did not fit well on me.

Great for work and casual wear
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like these shorts for the price. Purchased them on sale. The fabric is not the best, but overall they look nice. Run a bit big. My usual size is 2 or 4, depending on the brand. I got these in 0 and fit well.

Beautiful, versatile shorts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these in henna color and I love them. They quality is great and they can be used with casual or professional outfits. I’m a size 2 in Madewell (size 4 elsewhere) and they fit well.

Really comfy summer shorts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these on a whim and they’ve been a great addition to my wardrobe. They do wrinkle a bit though. I also sized down (and they still have a loose fit).
