Based on the picture I was worried that it would cut my stomach off at an uncomfortable place ( I like to have the waistline come to my belly button so when I sit down it doesn't cut me in half).  However, it was nice.  I bought these for the summer months when I could possibly wear skirts without tights/hose because my thighs chafe and it is so unpleasant.  I think these will work out nicely and give me the added bonus of having a smoother bottom half!  I would buy more of these for sure.
