Pros: the material is really soft and the quilting feels really nice! small seams so smoother around Cons: a little itchy around the quilting seams. With 4% spandex I thought they might be stretchier. I went a size down but they still were not tight enough around my waist. so maybe 2 sizes might be best. I have a large difference in my waist to thigh and calf measurements so they do tend to come down when going from sitting to standing.
