These are amazing

I was nervous about how short these are but they're the perfect looseness, especially for my "athletic" body (small waist, plump bum, fit thighs). I don't feel like I'm being too showy for my age either. Well done!

They ride up so much

I got these thinking they would be great running shorts. However, I am literally unable to run in them because they ride up so much, and it is very uncomfortable. Do not get these

It's soft and comfortable. Only reason why didn't give 5 stars it's because it's not very flattering but combined with the top looks really cute and the color is so beautiful
