Sweet surprise!!
Was hesitant about ordering these shorts because the size of them was a bit unclear!! Was thrilled when I tried them on and they were a perfect fit!! Could you kindly list the measurements of the 14W versus 18?? How is it possible that they match up somehow??Anyway I look forward to wearing them!!

Denim Jean Shorts
Loved the color blue in and quality of the denim shorts. Unfortunately, the shorts are too long and too big for me as I am only 5'1" so I would need a petite length. Too bad there were no petite shorts in denim fabric available for purchase.

Large in the waist!
I purchased the navy and white shorts. They are heavy stiff and too large. I own 4 pair the Wit and Wisdom pants and/or jeans. Returned the shorts!
