Nice leggings for long tunics/short dresses (Yoga waist)
I purchased both the standard waist - and the yoga waist in white because I wasn't sure which would be better - and for the price - having two pairs of white leggings wouldn't be a bad thing to have around.
So here is the run down:
Initial impressions, nice soft, stretchy fabric.
Fit - overall good. Easy to pull on and they stay in place when sitting and bending for everyday movement. (Haven't tried these yet in a yoga class - I find it challenging to find leggings that stay put and don't need to be pulled up periodically.) I am at the large end of the size range. I wear a 10-12 in most pants/jeans and am 5'6" around 165 pounds. The waist on the yoga version does not have much stretch built into it. I think that is due to the way it is stitched and the fact that the thread does not stretch. I did get this up over my hips and they are just comfortable for my waist (28-29"). I did hear what I think was some of the stitching breaking - hopefully that will not cause any issues later.
Fabric - a bit sheer for leggings - really more like very heavy tights. I am attaching a picture of another pair of knit leggings that I have and one of these leggings. As you can see, the knit leggings - while not fully opaque still offer more coverage than these do.
Overall, I am happy with this purchase. I plan to wear these leggings under long tunics or short dresses - and for that purpose they are fine. I would not wear these with a top that does not cover my rear end as these are way too sheer and will definitely show your panty lines - even if you are wearing white or neutral underwear.
