First the good. The panties are a beautiful color, embroidery is well done and should last a long time, also looks like the photographs.  The material is thick and does provide some shaping. The seams are double sewn.  I have worn this style for years and have worn a lot of different brands including Wacoal, Vanity Fair, Vasser, Warners, and Bali with no problems.  But I have never worn this brand.  I have a slightly rounded stomach, round but slender hips, an average size high waist, and a small butt.  Despite my high waist this fit WAY above the waist. Like five inches above!  If this wasn't already way too high  the waist would fit IF my waist was about twelve inches.  Honestly, the waist opening is smaller than the openings for the legs!  And the rear sagged like crazy because bubble butt I'm not!  I don't know of any real women built like this.  The only "women" that I've seen who could wear this appear in comic books and wear spandex!  Come on guys, real women aren't drawn in ink!  So two stars for being well made and three stars taken because they won't fit real women!
