Lands' End Women's SunShade UPF 50 3" Board Shorts with Panty

I read another photo review where she said to size down, and I agree. I'm 5'7", 155 lbs, 42 inch hips, size chart has me at a size 12. I got both size 10 and 12 to try, and I prefer the 10. Size 12 has extra material, especially in the front. I've added pictures of both the sizes. Also the pockets are not flattering, they stick out on both sizes. Most likely going to sew them shut to see if that helps. Pictured with size M (long torso) tulip hem tankini in Paradise Teal.

So well made! Wish I had purchased long ago! I wear these shorts over a bathing suit that reveals too much bottom or when I want to wear attractive and flattering shorts.
