These are great leggings and the quality is top notch. I have a collection of these. The design is really artistic and the fit is amazing. However, note that this brand - EVCR - sometimes has, for example, "High Waisted Slim" so read carefully when ordering and just order a size up if it says so. The fitted cut is really a fitted cut. If it is not a fitted cut, the size runs normal. I personally prefer a high waist, but that's me. I don't like elastic at the waist, and the high waist is smooth and comfortable. I've had several of these leggings over the course of a year and am still stocking up on them. Excellent hold. Nothing I've seen before compares to them.
