Wow, an H & M 14? They run small . . . at least on top, they do, and I know you're talking about a bottom, but still.

(In that way where I own a size 8 shirt by them that's really tight -- and a lot of size 4-6 shirts by other manufacturers that are looser.)

Congrats! I hope you're getting some mindful movement (aka exercise) in there, as well. (I don't know; fencing? Taking walks?) Not necessarily because it gives you more points, but primarily because it's always better to be slightly active than sedentary.
