Linen Elasticated Waist Culottes

Unfortunately the size I ordered was too big, even though I ordered accordingly to the size chart, and by the time the product got to me, a full 10 days after I ordered, the size smaller was sold out, so I was unable to exchange it. I was bummed, as I liked the style. It might have been helpful if this particular product would have given guidance such as “styled to bee very loose-fitting so it might be advised to order a size smaller”
