only skimmer I will buyI love these skimmers. They are just the right length and have just the right amount of stretch. I've been buying these for the last few years. The material has changed from the original ones but not for the better. I find it is a little more scratchy than the original. I also find that they have raised the waist which I'm not happy about since I am on the short side; however, someone who is taller might like that they did this. They do run a little large, so you might want to size down.

Just what I wanted!The fabric, style and color were what I wanted but they are too big and I'll have to return them for a smaller size. I wear a 12P and I ordered a 12P but they are at least a 14.

Super comfortableI purchased the skimmers about 3 weeks ago. Not only do they fit extremely well, but are just as comfortable. Being a petite, I find it very hard purchasing any type of pant that will fit without some sort of adjusting. I found the fit to be perfect and did not have to make any changes. I highly recommend purchasing the skimmers.

Inconsistent sizingI purchased 3 pairs of these in 10 petite. I purchased a lavender pair in the store. Later I ordered a Lime Green and these bright blue pair. The first 2 fit exactly the same. The blue pair was much bigger. I returned them to the store and the clerk compared them to 10 regular. The legs were shorter than regular but much wider in the thighs and waist. There weren’t any blue in my size but I found a rust colored pair that fit the same I would hesitate to order online because of this inconsistency.

Cute nice color but run bigBeautiful color very well made but oh my goodness way too big. I normally wear an 8 in modern fit or 8P. I was excited to get them until I saw they fit more like a size 12. I could put on and off without undoing zipper and button. I’m waiting on another pair ordered a 6P this time. Am 5’ 144lbs. Hoping next pair fit. Will let you know. Would recommend because well made however order one size smaller than normal with these.

Love the color! (Blue)I ordered online and should have paid attention to the reviews. The skimmers are huge and baggy in my size. We went out of town the day after I received them so I'm hoping I can still return them to my favorite store and exchange the size, because I got them at a great price with sale and coupon. They are straight and straight stitched across the bottom, no interesting design or feature. I would say, very casual.

Love the color!!I wanted this magenta color last year, but it was unavailable at C & B. So happy that was available this year. Debated about ordering because I read the reviews which some said that it ran large. I find it runs true to size, the same that I have been getting for several years from C &B. The material is nice with enough stretch to hug me in all the right places, especially the waist.

Unsure in ColoradoFound these pants to be a little too stretchy. They seemed to fit nicely when I first put them on, but in a matter of an hour or so they began to feel baggie. The waist stayed snug but the seat and thighs began to hang. After nine holes of golf, I started to wish I’d worn something else. I’ll reserve final judgement until one more wearing freshly laundered and less active endeavor.

Stretchy SkimmerI was pleased to see that my nearby Christopher/Banks had the skimmers again this year! I tried them for the first time last spring/summer and really loved them.
There was no reason to shop any further after I tried them on. I am currently waiting for more colors to come in.

Great fitI had tried this on at the store in the the next size and not petite as that was all they had. I was very comfortable ordering this in a 12P. Perfect torso length and leg length! I find c and b sizes to be very consistent. I prefer the store only I like to check the fabric.

No belt loops :(Nice fit. But i didn't realize they have no belt loops. Bought 2 pairs & went on vacation, had to keep pulling them up because i couldn't wear a belt with them. If they had belt loops they would be perfect. I can't return them because i had to wear them on vacation.

Really like these skimmers!I bought 2 pairs of these (short) capris in my usual 10 petite size and they fit my curvey hips and legs perfectly. So wish they came in more colors, like the regular sizes do. I wear them all day and they don't wrinkle and look great right out of the suitcase.

CuteCute and comfy. Legs were a little wider than shown in the on-line picture. I did notice that the fit varied somewhat on the same size pant. I purchased two pair, same size, different colors. The lavender pair seems to be slightly larger than the blue pair.

Perfect fit!I had this item in navy blue and liked it so much I ordered the same item but a different color. I'm a hard fit so seldom order jeans, slacks, capris, etc., on line. However, I've found that Christopher & Banks and I are a good match:)

Perfect for PetitesI love these Skimmers! Just the right length and fit perfect. I also wish they came in more colors. I own 3 of them. I usually buy an 8P but the 6P fit much better. Bought 1 pair in the store and had to order another 2 online.

So comfortableBecause of the stretchy waist band, these are really comfortable! And the fit is just right, not too baggy, not too clingy. I bought them in several colors. Nice to have side pockets big enough to hold my phone, also.

Comfy skimmersI purchased these skimmers in "weekend blue " & just love the color. These are so comfortable, however there is a slight "bag of fabric" in the back of my theighs. Overall , I love them. Need more colors, next summer.

Perfect lengthI’m not a petite at 5’5” but these are so high waisted (a bit too high) the petite fit just at the bottom of my knees just where I want. Had to hem the regulars. Run a tad big - if between sizes I’d size down

Perfect fit with the stretchThese are my favorite go to shorts. The stretch makes them incredibly comfortable. I usually by a regular but bought these in a petite and the length hits barely above my knee. I am 5’6” and love this length.

So very comfortable! Runs at least a size larger.These are so comfortable but run big and high waisted. I'd buy a pair in every color if they had more options. In Misses they have yellow, white and tan! Never the same options in the Petite line.

Comfortable Stretch FabricNice material & color but legs too wide. I bought to coordinate with other C&B pieces so am keeping but will have to make legs narrower as sale price too good to return without alterations.

fit not as expectedIt could be my body type, but these were way too tight around the knee area and way too baggy around the tummy, thigh. Tried a couple of different sizes and could not get a good fit.
