I sized up because of the reviews, and I’m really glad I did. The waist is quite tight and not stretchy, but since it falls at my skinniest natural waist, it seems like it will be OK. They are much lighter weight fabric than the Terra leggings, but I think they’ll be good under dresses or skirts in the summer.

Not stretchy.

Upon the recommendation of other reviewers, I bought one size bigger, and the fit is good. I am pear shaped and don’t have the issue with the waist being too big on this bigger size. At this size, the shorts don’t have much compression, but they are very comfortable.

These fit me a little roomy in the waist (what I wanted) but they are tight in the leg holes. The waist is stretchy and has elastic but the leg holes are just a normal seam that doesn’t stretch, so they’re a little uncomfortable in that area. When I sit and my thighs go out it it squeezes them.

Perfect choice for under my dresses. Summer 2023 I wore them I. Europe under my summer midi, and sierra. Very comfortable.
