I love these shorts the only reason I gave it for stars is because the ribs in the front are not as pictured the models appears to be more open like more open tears the ones I received were completely closed to wear no skin shows through and I am satisfied with the fit I ordered a size large 11 probably should have got a medium 9 as there is a little space at the lower of my back I am 5 ft 8 in 177 lb 36 d bra 31 inch waist with a belly and 45 in hips
