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.

I'm 4'10" and these fit my leg perfect! I tried the 5" salutations and they did not fit my leg properly. These are great and don't show any cheek. I got an XS.

Comments about Elation Ultra High Rise 3"" Shortie

These are so cute! Fit really well. They are flattering with where they hit on the stomach and are long enough that nothing shows while you are working out. For reference: I got a medium, am about 137 lbs, and 5'8.

The high rise on these are great but a little too short for a 5'10" lady.

I bought these in varsity and in punch - love both colors! Perfect for warm days/nights around the house . Probably wont wear to the gym since they do ride up on the behind and I'm not comfortable with that. #sweepstakes

I have these in green and black and I absolutely love these. I work out in them and just wear them for lounging. They are pretty high rise but are comfortable and they don't ride up too bad.
