DOLLY GOOD GIRLFRIEND CHEEKY SHORTS | INDIGO1200

Owners say the denim fits true to size despite looking tiny off the body, while the sweats and outerwear are cut oversized.

Across independent reviews the denim story is consistent: the jeans look alarmingly small off the body but stretch to fit true to size once on — one long-form reviewer's advice is to "order your true size rather than sizing down." The recurring caveat is Good American's combined size bands (e.g. 6-12): a Yahoo tester at the top of her band found the Always Fits pair "snug, especially through the hips and thighs," and reviewers who sit between sizes report some styles running slightly small. The sweats line reads the opposite way — pieces are deliberately roomy, with "extra fabric in the arms to create an oversized vibe," and owners size down when they want a closer fit. Fit reports on jackets and the shacket are mixed, so per-style checks matter most outside the denim.

Sizing advice: Take your usual size in the jeans even though they look tiny off the body (size up only if you're at the top of a combined size band); in the sweats, size down for anything other than an oversized fit.

Owners report the denim shorts run high-rise, very stretchy, and close-fitting, and that they stay put through wear — one long-term owner has kept Bombshell shorts in summer rotation since 2019. A plus-size reviewer who tried several cuts found the fit and length comfortable across styles but said a couple of the shorter cut-offs needed more fabric to work. Reviewers of the brand's denim more broadly describe heavy stretch that still reads as structured denim, with sizing that can run snug or loose depending on where you fall in a size band.

Strengths

Long-term owners report the shorts hold their fit and stay wearable over years of regular summer use.

Watch out for

Sizing shifts style to style — owners report needing to size up in some cuts and down in higher-rise ones, and some cut-off styles run shorter in the leg than expected.

Sizing

Reports differ by cut: one reviewer sized up one for a looser fit but said her usual size would also have worked, while another sizes down one in the higher-rise Bombshell because the rise runs high.
