I needed white shorts for a show I was in, and these were a great buy for the price. I was worried they would be thin and see-through, being white, but they actually feel pretty sturdy. I wouldnt wear bright underwear, but they're decently opaque. I like that they are truly high-waisted, and don't ride up. I am 57, 128 pounds, typically a 2/Small, but I read reviews and sized up to Medium to be safe. Im glad I did - any smaller would be too tight. I would love to get more colors!
