These were extremely sheer in the center. Perhaps my grandma has a large white undergarment that would mask this unfortunate flaw. As I do not own such a garment. They are going back.

When I saw the high waist and princess seams on these I was all excited and hit the self destruct button on my Shop Bop basket right away! I have a small waist and hips that are just a little wider than my top area. Maybe if you wore some bright white granny panties under them these mite work. Unfortunately. I do not own bright white granny panties. So these are going back. The problem is, fabric is kind of thin, so you can see the pockets thru the shorts. This gives the effect of having a see thru giant maxi pad shape right where you would wear a maxi pad. I am long waisted so they just tucked right in in the back and refused to leave. I noticed they were doing this on the model a little, so I ordered a size larger, but to no avail. I just wish they used a fabric that wasn't so shear, because I thought the cut was a good idea. The long waisted thing is more just how I am built and not a prob w the shorts.
