I was looking for something to wear under my dresses/skirts in the wintertime.  I love these.  They aren't too spandex-y, which has been a drawback of other brands I've tried.  They are nice and smooth and cottony.  They don't really smooth my curves the way that heavy duty spandex does, which is fine, because I don't always want that.  They are nice & long too, which is great because I am tall.
