My niece Sophie ‘June Bug’ really wanted some Boxer style shorts and Aunt Judy had to spoil her… I wasn’t convinced I would wear the boxer style out and about, so I added a few other options too. I hope everyone loves them as much as both of us do!
The youth sizes range from 2 – 14 and the adult sizes are XXS – Plus 5X for the Adult Hourglass Figure.
