Customer Reviews Columbia Plus Size Coral Point™ III Shorts

I wanted to try these as a casual short for everyday wear, but they were almost too casual for what I'd imagined. That's not the shorts fault really, they came as described. Just not for me. They fit mostly okay except that they were sort of pulling up in the crotch area in an unflattering way.

I really like the style of these shorts, but I wish they would be a little longer.

I ordered several pairs of these shorts in 3 colors. the black and dark blue are great however the waterfall color fit in the butt looks and feels like a constant wedgie. that look and fit may look great on a smaller person but on a plus size woman it feels and looks horrible. I'm a size 22/24 the only reason I am keeping the darker colors is the wedgie look is not really noticeable. I have noticed this same problem on several other purchases I have made with this brand. I love the quality and I really wish they would alter the butt a little.

Run small and fossil color shorts were see through

I bought my normal size, and the size that would fit based on the size chart, but these shorts were tiny. The light gray was pretty transparent too. Sending right back.

Very very very small. I usually wear a size 16 women's. I couldn't even get the waistband fastened let alone zipped closed. Order at LEAST one size larger than your normal size

I like the fit of these shorts, but the thread on the but breaks when gently pulling the fabric between two fingers. I do like the pocket size, but the poor quality thread is a no go. The shorts themselves are a good fit with only fitting a bit higher than in the pictures. They are not big and not really small just slightly snug when sitting and that is when the thread pops. : /

These shorts run very, very small so buyer beware. Also, not a fan of the fabric as it makes a swishing noise when your thighs rub.

Runs small. Uncomfortable. Costs money for returns.

The idea of the shorts were fantastic but they are not a plus size. I'm a fairly regular size 18w and these were on a good day a 14.

Way too thin. Not flattering.

I bought these shorts in "Fossil" to wear at work and am super disappointed in the product. I ordered a size larger than I normally wear based on the reviews, and they fit fine and are a nice lightweight material. However, when I tried them on, I found out that these shorts are completely see-through, and not just slightly or in the right lighting. Like, you could read a book through the fabric. I still wanted to give them a shot and wore them to work over a pair of bike shorts. Then, after just one wear and wash, I found that the stitching along the back seam was already coming out. These shorts are absolutely not worth the price.
