I'm not sure if the fit is better for smaller sizes but I wear plus sizes and these shorts are so unflattering and cut the size of a parachute. I get a 2x and I have to try to tie the shorts as tight as possible for them to even fit. The extra room in the shorts is excess and not flattering. The siz...e of the leg holes is insane, it's basically the size of the waist. I cannot wear these shorts and feel or look cute and this is true from every single pair of drawstring pajamas I've gotten so far from Old Navy. The cut needs to be to the body, maybe slightly oversized. But in order for these shorts to fit and look good on my body, I feel like I'd need to go 2 sizes smaller. I'd like to be able to order my size and they fit properly and not experiment with sizes for online purchases. If Old Navy can't do drawstring shorts then don't do them, do an elastic waistband. These shorts are embarrassing to wear alone none the less around a partner.
