Athletic Works Women's Plus Size Core Active Dri-Works Bike Shorts

I personally ordered a size to big , if I would've gotten the XL it would've been perfect if you like a snug/ cling fit to your body . Thick material not see through which I loved as well !

I got these shorts because I was looking for something comfortable to exercise and do house work in and these fit that bill. They are stretchy yet form nicely to the body. I've washed them a number of times and they maintain their stretch and color. They come to just above my knee. As a plus-sized woman they don't ride up my thighs when I walk, and I appreciate that very much! I'm also able to pull them onto my stomach and they don't fall or slide down off my stomach when I walk either. I appreciate that, as well! I got poked by a nail on a door while trying to enter my home and got a hole in the shorts. I was concerned the hole would spread. Surprisingly, the fabric is stable enough to where, even between washings, the hole hasn't gotten any larger and I'm still able to wear the shorts. Good fabric and good shorts. The directions say to wash in cold water, but I wash mine in warm and hot water. I have not experienced any shrinkage by doing that. It also says to tumble dry low. Again, I have not experienced any shrinkage. I encourage anyone buying it to launder them as directed. But the warm/hot water works for me.
