I love the Adorn leggings, they help alleviate my symptoms on flareup days and they're cute on top of it! The waistband is a different material than their other microperle leggings. It is a bit stiffer. I find it more comfortable to wear around my stomach, because it still provides compression but its more gentle pressure. However, because it's stiffer it sometimes creases and/or pulls away from my torso creating a gap, and it also can get pretty hot. That being said the scallop trim is a super cute detail and the microperle compression truly makes a noticeable difference in how I feel and my endurance.
