If you are a person who carries weight around the lower abs and are "long" from belly button to crotch, these panties may be the kiss of death.  On me, the lace tends to roll, and the waist band sits below what is illustrated in photos.  That being said, they aren't badly made for the price, and definitely do not suggest granny underwear.  I'm keeping mine and hoping to lose weight and tone up.  That may solve the problem.
