Hey, hope this helps. I have a pair of SSS shorts that i bought from TE in blue color. I am not a size small in regular clothes, my waist is about 26-27 inches but i have wide hips about 39 inches i think I got them in size small and they fit well. In regular clothes i am somewhere between size 6 to sometimes size 8 depending on the brand. just for comparison here are my pictures in these shorts so you can judge yourself http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=8084
