    @Boogs: don't just follow the link search in the bar- there are lots of different fabrics- I got 3 different kinds- chambray, jacquard texture, linen cotton blend.

    My favorite are the Banana Republic Hampton shorts which are 3 1/2 inches. But I'm only 5'4" so fairly petite, and long shorts are not flattering.. I'm almost 40! 😱

    JCrew factory had these super flattering shorts last year with an elastic waist that really help the mommy love handles. I assume I got the 5" shorts and not the 3" kind, but I'm not sure. They had more colors last year, but they were like this. https://factory.jcrew.com/womens-clothing/shorts/boardwalk_pull_on/PRDOVR~C0434/C0434.jsp

    @jape14: thanks again! I may get more.

    This thread is good for me. I am really self conscious about my legs. I have several scars from biopsys for skin cancer. Strangely I feel fine in swimwear (because it's for a purpose) but I have typically only worn long pants or maxis in the summer. Since I had my daughter I'm so much prouder of my body and am finally wearing shorts and short dresses regularly and feel good about it. I need to be a good example to my daughter. I also need some shorts 😂

    @babypugs: So I got and tried on the two pairs of factory shorts I linked to and love them! Can't wait to hear what you found!

    @Boogs: I got both pairs and LOVED them as well! At first I was a little meh on the drawstring shorts (I thought they were going to be super "mom" out of the package) but once I got them on I was like oh yeah!!

    Now I just have to shave my legs so I can wear them.

    @babypugs: I got the scalloped pair and the 5" chino. Sounds like I need to try the drawstring!

    @Smurfette: Here you go! I feel like they look better in person than in the pic. Haven't quite figured out how to style them???

    @babypugs: oh those look comfy. What length are those?

    @Smurfette: Those are the 3". If they'd had 4 I'd have gone with those, but I thought 5 might be too big with a looser fit. They are the most comfy shorts ever, I feel like I need to go hit an all-you-can-eat buffet in them ha!
