Not sure if my item was defected because it seems like no one else had this problem. I ordered three pairs based on the great reviews however I would not recommend these leggings and I would obviously not purchase again. I received my leggings with a twisted waist band. At first I thought oh no big deal it happens I’ll just un -twist it? However it was twisted so many times that it was almost impossible to fix it. After about 30 minutes I just gave up because it was so annoying and uncomfortable. I’m surprised the waist band was made this way being that the leggings were made to be paired with a crop top. It would look so bad to wear these leggings with a twisted waist band. Not to mention uncomfortable. The other pair I received of the same leggings( different color) had a huge snag sewn into them. Looked really bad. Also I’m wondering why comments said they were not see through. You can actually see right through them while holding them up.
