For years Ive been joking that all my leggings are Churidar because Im 52 so when I randomly stumbled across these on Amazon I had to try them. Under a dress/tunic they are great. For reference I am a US 12. I took the drawstring out because the waistband is also elastic so no need for double overkill. They do bunch a lot at the ankles but its cute. The fabric is pretty elastic and fits well. There is a weird, weird seam that basically hits my butt so it looks like I have cheeky briefs on based on the shadow this makes under a shirt. Well whatever...think I have adorable underwear on thats fine with me! But with a short top...oh that would look so weird. Im not sure what purpose the seam serves but there it is. I got the weird greenish yellow and it is a divine cat eye color. There is a great selection of unique colors so I will probably get some more.
