Strange cut
I’m 5’3 and bought a size 10, the same size as other swim pants. The leg elastic is very tight and these pants come all the way up to my waist/belly button or just over, much like what I would expect of full briefs. This is unlike the picture that accompanies the description on the website. The leg is quite low on me as well and tight. The gusset is too narrow and there is not full bottom coverage, half my checks are hanging out, I liken it to a pair a skimpy/cheeky Brazilian cut pants. I tried adjusting these pants multiple times and multiple positions but nothing changes. The gusset does not widen at the front soon enough and follow the wider hip/leg line, leaving them quite skimpy at the front too. The sides are too wide for me. I do not recommend these pants, I was very disappointed, they are very uncomfortable. Love the print and fabric though.
