First off, I was surprised by the matetial which is a semi sheer, stretchy blend that sort of feels like a thin spandex. I bought the blue pair with white dots. The dots are not so much part of the fabric as painted onto it, creating a raised, bumpy feel. I was searching for lightweight summer PJs but these don't really work for that either. Even as thin as they are, the fabric doesn't breathe the way I was hoping. They trap the heat and would probably work better for fall temperatures. The stitching seems like it will need reinforcement in several places and the holes around the synch cord are just rough holes that I can see the elastic waist band through. The band itself also seems to be of flimsy quality. I'm concerned these pants won't even survive the wash and will probably throw them in a mesh garment bag to try and keep them from ripping. The bottom line is I have lace panties that are more sturdy than these pants. I absolutely wouldn't have bought them if I'd seen them in the store. On the positive side, the 2x fits my size 18/20 waist just fine.
