These fit over my belly, smoothed me out, and the color was great. However, my thighs are perhaps a bit thicker than were intended for these. I wore them to a wedding and about an hour in, I had to take them off because the crotch kept sinking and it was really uncomfortable.  Worth a try for the price but keep in mind that there isn't too much stretch in the thighs. I think someone with thinner thighs would have better luck.
