Pattern placement varies. XL pictured for reference. 90% polyester 10% spandex with elastic waistband. Sizing note: these are marked as junior sizing, but I believe they are more truly misses' and perhaps run a bit big. If you like a little more room in the tummy, booty, and/or ankles, I would choose your normal misses' size. Otherwise, I would probably go down a size. No trades.
