Nice material, but I don't like how it's sewed around the waistline it sticks out and makes it look like I have a belly. They also don't fit as tight as I like. But I'm really skinny 5'5 120 and lean. If they were tighter maybe the waistline wouldn't stick out. But the print and material is really nice.These are a great pair of workout shorts. They fit perfectly and stay in place during class. They are super comfy and I wear them for more than just the studio. The side pocket is very useful.I had surgery that was causing some leg swelling so I needed soft and flexible fabric to accommodate. I was also on crutches so the pockets were a necessity! After trying several brands, these were the softest and best fitting of all. Most bike shorts with pockets are the longer version and they were not comfortable. These are about a mid-thigh length and maintain their structure while being flexible. If you are looking for serious tummy control, these are not for you. But these provide moderate control and are high enough waisted to cover up to my waistline.I can't wait to wear it soon. I love it!I like the way they soft and smooth. I wish they were about 1 inch longer. That’s just my opinion. I do like them.Based on the photo of the blue, I was expecting more of a royal blue than it is in real life. It's more toward navy...not like a deep dark navy that is almost black, but the type of lighter navy that definitely looks blue. I ordered XXL and hoped for the best as I sometimes wear XXXL in other brands, but XXXL is not available in these shorts. I wear a size 20W jean for reference, sometimes a 22W if the brand runs small. When I took them out of the package my heart sank as I was sure they'd be too small. After my shower I tried them on and to my surprise they fit just fine as the fabric is very stretchy in comparison to some other yoga shorts that I have. I like them enough that I am considering buying one or two of the other colors. Edited to add: I also ordered the dark red and they are more wine colored than red. The fabric does not feel quite as soft as the blue ones for some reason.Love these shorts, they are so comfortable! Got great for curvy girls. Got my normal size, 2x & fits great!These are soft and stretchy, even over my ample backside they manage to be fairly high waist, not as high as the picture, but still much better than most brands. I don't love the olive color, but black wasn't available in my size and that's a personal preference. The legs don't ride up, the waist doesn't fall down, and most importantly, even over my tree trunk legs the leg openings are stretchy enough not to cause bulging issues. My only negative is that there isn't any compression. They're great for yoga, walks, and lounging, but once the temperatures come down and I start running again I'm not sure that they'll tame the jiggle.
