Review on 3 Pack YOLIX Buttery Soft 8" High Waisted Biker Shorts For Women - Yoga, Workout & Sports Ready! by Dan Germain

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Sizing is so odd for my opinion

Soooo.idk. These are really friggin weird to me. I'm chubby, only 5'4", but 180 lbs. I wear a size 12. So I ordered these in large/xlarge. First, the positives. They're crazy soft and generally fairly comfortable to wear. The negatives: these are HUGE. I can pull the waistband all the way up to to my bra, the crotch seam is so long that you just have to keep pulling and pulling them up to not have the crotch sag between your legs. Once they're pulled all the way up, I can almost put them OVER my breasts like some kind of cursed onesie. But even then, somehow they manage to have inexplicably long legs. The inseam in the legs is so long that even once I have them pulled up to my boobs, the legs go down all the way over my knee. They're almost a friggin body suit on me. Covering my almost my whole leg and torso. It's kind of insane. By now you're probably thinking I just should have bought a smaller size, but I can tell by the width and general fit of the waistband that a small size wouldn't have fit, and again, I'm a size 12 with VERY wide hips and way too much a*s and this definitely feels like it should have been the right size but they're just so disproportionate it's comical. I put them on and modeled them for my husband and we both laughed at the odd proportions, being able to pull them up to my boobs and still have them be so long they go down OVER my knees was quite the sight. All this said, I know how to sew and have a machine, so since they fit me width-wise, I'm just going to cut a few inches off the bottom hem and shorten the legs and then shorten the width of the waistband to make them not pull up quite so high. All in all, I guess they'll work, I just don't know how I got so unlucky with these. I was feeling so confident they would be great after reading all the reviews, but they're pretty bad. Good thing they were cheap!

Pros
  • Provides excellent compression for a sleek look
Cons
  • The shorts are too long or too short
