Pleasant surprise! I bought these to perform a pole dancing routine for a showcase at my pole gym. I have hips and a booty and am wary of buying clothes online, but these fit great and looked cute. I wanted a slightly cheeky fit and got it. Good coverage for the naughty bits when doing spins, climbs, etc (even though these aren't designated pole dancing shorts, they worked great). Love the little scrunch in the back, very flattering for the hiney. Im 511, 190#, wear 12-14 in jeans and got the XL
