Definitely runs small!

I love wearing shorts under dresses. As a toddler mom, I feel it's *necessary* lol Mine were stretched out & not fitting as well, so I decided to buy these during a sale. I'm SO glad I read reviews and trusted the few that said these run small. I sized up (normally XL in Athleta leggings- the elatio...n 7/8 are my favorite) to 1X and they're still tight. I almost wasn't sure they were going to go on. But once they were on… magic! They're so comfortable. They suck me in (I know these aren't shapewear but omg they're great for that under my dresses) and I know they aren't going to fall down on me as I walk. I'd feel comfortable running in them, too. I took away one star due to fit but I really do love these already!

Not flattering on my figure

I used my rewards for these so I'm not gonna mess with a return but otherwise I would send them back because they're just not that flattering on my figure. I have less than perfect hips and thighs and these shorts accentuate those spots on me. I like the rise of the shorts. But I find the waistband... too snug. The leg openings fit better on these shorts than the salutation 5 inch however as they give me less sausage-casing look. The fabric is smooth. I also prefer the waistband on the salutation over these as it is flat and not double layered.

#sweepstakes If you love the leggings, you're going to love these! They fit perfectly, don't ride up like a lot of spandex type shorties. I've ordered numerous pairs after I tried the first ones, highly recommend!

Comments about Elation Ultra High Rise 3"" Shortie

Overall, love the fit and the pocket in the back for your phone. Material is buttery soft. I wish it didn't have a front seam. The cobalt blue is gorgeous though and I like that it doesn't roll when I am exercising.

These are the perfect shorts! I am 5'7" and 142 lbs. I purchased a size M. They do not roll while I walk. I love to do garage workouts in these. They are so, so comfortable. I bought them in every color!

Super comfy shorts. Great for around the house and working out. A little too short for me to wear out and about. LOVE the color! True to size.

Comments about Elation Ultra High Rise 3” Shortie

These 3" shorts are the perfect booty short - they cover everything as well as a bit of thigh without rolling, bunching or pinching. The fabric is soft and compressive but never tight. Perfect for lounging or running errands, wearing under dresses or for light studio exercises. I'm 5'0" and 130lbs, a numerical size 4/6, 34.5"/34DD bust, with 37" hips. I standardly wear a small/petite in Athleta clothes and ordered my usual size here. #sweepstakes

These shorts are the right length and rise, they didn't ride up during my workout and just look great on.
