I have been searching for the perfect panties.  Not too high, not too low, just right.  I thought these would be great - I like the hipster style which sits about 3 inches below the waist, and the elastic is nice and flat.  I wear a size 6 pants, and have a "normal" body shape (average sized booty and hips).  I ordered these in a medium (size 6).  They fit okay, not too big or too small, but they still ride up a bit in the rear and create a panty line.  The material is not as soft as I would like, but I expect that to improve with continued washings.  I have found the Gap low rise hipster to be a much better fit for me.
