these leggings will SNATCH your waist like no other, what Buff Bunny does best! the waist is TINY but don't worry it's highly elastic and the waist is HIGH for the most flattering cut. the stitching is designed to make your butt look fantastic. I really like the lack of a front seam also because it avoids the camel toe look. mesh panels along the sides, you WILL need to wear nude underwear (or go commando, not my style but you do you) because anything else will show up. very sexy style! has side pockets (a must for me) and a small one at back for cash etc. some shimmery material but not all of it. approximate measurements: 10" waist 8.5" rise 26" inseam
