I agree with other reviewers that these are thin.  The white and light pink does allow you to see patterned underwear through them (so they are only for under dresses), but the darker colors (blue, green, black, dark pink) do not show through and I let my daughter wear them by themselves. I have a size 6 girl, but bought the size 7/8. They are too big, but still ok to wear. I wish I had purchased true to size. Very cozy shorts and a nice length that isn't too short.
