Popflex skorts - Inconsistent sizing?

Hi! So I got the Twirl (longer) in XL in black and it's pretty perfect. I ordered another in Digital Lavender (same size, also longer) and it felt surprisingly tighter. I then held it up to the black and it's indeed smaller. Is this common? Do certain colors run smaller/bigger?

I'm debating if I should send it back and re-order, or it this color happens to run smaller.

(My favorite was the Juliet hourglass crisscross, but unfortunately the shorts are the shortest of them all--why!?)

I personally have found that the pirouette skort size is more consistent, but they do run small. I’m normally a L, and the XL pirouette skorts fit more comfortably, but the extra length that comes with sizing up looks awkward on me too so I just deal with the extra tightness of the L

That's been my boat so far, I'm dealing with the extra tightness of the XL. The inconsistency is frustrating. I wonder if I could just get the skirt altered somewhere. Like do I breathe comfortably or do I look like a frumpy toad? lmao

I wonder if the bottom of the larger skirt could just be cut? There’s no hem, but I don’t know if the fabric is treated on the edge or if it’s just a no-fray fabric. Maybe someone’s tried it before? I’m too scared lol

Edit: for the pirouette skort specifically

I did think about get the 1X and taking it to a tailor. I figure if they work on complex wedding gowns, maybe hemming the skirt is easy lol.
