I was just wondering if it is the shorts thing. Because even for regular clothes when I wear a size 12 in certain brands for pants and capris they are too "snug" as shorts. What's up with that?? (peeved because I've spent too much time looking for shorts for next week when I go to Arizona). I only own 1 pair of cheapy bike shorts, which I've worn under a pair of tights this whole cold season. They no longer look new and I am definitely gonna have to find at least one more pair.
