NATURAL WAIST:

Bend side to side and find the natural bend in your body; this is your natural waist. Note: It may not be the smallest point.

Love these
So comfortable. They sit perfectly and don't ride up.

Great shorts
These shorts are so comfortable. They have all the great features of the ripstop pants, just without as many pockets. I love how they are slip on shorts, but they're still durable. The drawstring tie is inside the pants so it's out of the way and looks nicer. They run a little loose, but I like that about them. Will need to get more

Womens force ripstop
I bought these shorts in xl because that's my size in any other pair of shorts. They hang on me like a skirt they are so big.i kept them because I wasn't spending any more money for shipping. I wear them in the house where no one sees them.

Not for strong thighs & little waists
I want to love women's Carhartt shorts?I really do?but please measure on some women with curves?.maybe offer a "curvy" cut. I wear S/4 (5'6"; 145); on me, size S (4-6) are huge in the waist and tight on the legs.
