I really love these bottoms. I sized up to make sure they covered and didn’t ride up while walking/chasing my kids around. I’m always a size 6/8/medium, athletic/muscular build, and purchased the large. I think I could of easily gotten away with the medium though, but I like that they’re not too tight around the legs & waist. The rise on the model is accurate, that’s exactly where they hit me (& it’s perfect!! It’s hard to find bottoms nowadays that aren’t high rise, way over your belly button). Full coverage on the bottom. Really wish they had more prints & colors in this bottom!
