I eyed this set for quite some time before I pulled the trigger and that’s something I don’t normally do. It was so cute but I debated on sizing which is why I didn’t buy it right away. it appears that if you wanted to size down you could. Well I’m glad didn’t. Although the shorts look somewhat loose, they are fitted in the middle on your inner thigh and are looser on the outer thigh. So if I had sized down they would’ve been too tight and most likely uncomfortable. I love the self tie straps to make the top as low or cropped as you want. So cute
