Soft and comfortable, love the design. Been getting compliments every time I wear them. For the price they are nice. Not as nice as Lala Leggings but work 4 me. I'm a size 10-12 normally I don't think anyone larger that that will be comfortable in them. They would be extra tight in the waist area. I get a red line in my stomach so order a size up if possible. You want to be comfortable not too tight  so 14 - order plus size i feel they would be less tight in the belly.
