The reason for the 4 stars is only because they don't make extra-small. Not really the seller's problem. First I'm a very small person. Weighing in at 85 pounds at 5'2" My waist is a 26. It seems almost impossible to find anything in an extra-small so I was taking a chance purchasing this item in small. Yes, they are a bit big, but they stay up. I'm happy, I will just sew a little tuck into the waist. They are supposed to lift your butt, but I don't really have one to speak of plus with them being large on me that isn't going to happen. I'm happy with the material and the color. It's very soft and looks exactly like the picture. I'm sure if I weight was 120 -125 they would fit wonderfully
