Reviews Summary
Customers say these gauze shorts are extremely comfortable and soft, with many praising the lightweight, breathable fabric that's perfect for hot weather and travel. The fit is generally true to size, though some recommend sizing down for a less baggy look. Many appreciate the versatile length - not too short or long - and find them ideal for casual wear, over swimsuits, or paired with matching tops. Common feedback includes praise for the color options and how well they wash. However, some concerns emerge about durability, with reports of color bleeding, fading after washing, and flimsy material quality. A few find them too baggy or note transparency issues with lighter colors.

    Not a perfect fit, but cute

    I am between a medium and small in bottoms at Carve. Swim bottoms I am definitely a medium. The reviews I read said these ran big, so I ordered a small. It was way too tight in the waist and not very roomy in the hips. I exchanged for a medium and the waist is almost too big now. I ended up folding over the waist one time and I like the way that fits better. Though they are a little wide in the legs so I feel a little exposed in the rear. They are cute and I bought the top to make a matching set, so I did keep them. Though I wish they were a better fit.

    Not for me

    These did not fit me well. I like the color, but the elastic was too tight around the waist. Granted, it may just be my body shape as I do not have a small waist and more of a rectangular shape, but I usually wear a small and these smalls were too tight and unflattering.

    Great summer staple

    Great shorts for a cute and casual look that isn’t athletic. Can by styled up or down.

When Carve Designs began in 2003, we didn't add sustainability to our checklist - we made it our core vision. That hasn't changed.
