“Ask someone who has worn both curvy and original size, these shorts are not flattering for curvy women. There’s too much fabric so they don’t sit correctly on the hips. The cut of the band on the waist line Isn’t flattering and actually looks a little bulky. As a curvy girl, I want to “stretch” but not so much that I don’t feel supported. I’m normally a L/XL and these are more for someone who is 2XL-3XL. If you have a midsection these are not flattering because there’s no compression in the middle like the original croco skin”
