I am giving these leggings 3 stars because of 2 reasons... Reason 1 being that they are smaller than I thought they would be in the waist.  I usually wear a size 4 in bottoms, and I ordered the medium and they were SUPER tight in the waist, so much so that I don't even think I will wear them because I feel like I muffin top way too much that they aren't even flattering.  Reason 2 being that they are much thicker than I thought they would be, I was expecting them to be like normal leggings material, but instead they were really thick and had a fleece lining.  This would probably be great if I lived in Northern Michigan in the winter, but for Tennessee weather it isn't really the best.  They were relatively cheap and they would make a great layer to wear underneath ski pants, so I will keep them to wear down the road.  The pattern was really cute.
