If you have hips & some booty, even if you size up.. the underwear will kinda ride up. But if that's what you're into, go for it. Lol. I was thinking they were more like shorts or would at least fit me like the model, but they're super short..but sexy if you got a partner around. Ha. (The shirt fit well. I'm more so bottom heavy, but I have a gut too tho.)
