The perfect fit

I am so heartbroken, I have worn these for so many years, up and down sizes, colors but always the same soft, medium compression. The pair I just received are too short, two slippery, too thin, I am so sad.

I actually purchased these as a gift. Ordering was easy and the item arrived just as promised. I was very happy with the quality of leggings and, according to my daughter, the fit is perfect.

So, I got these leggings in 3 colors in size 3X. Overall, they're super comfortable, very stretchy, and seem to pass the squat test for my plus-size booty. They don't offer too much compression (just right), and I absolute love the colors. However, I do have some fit issues: Gaping: While I didn't measure myself before purchasing, I do have a pretty good idea of my size based on how my other clothes fit. I should be right in range for the 3X sizing - my waist is on the lower end of the range, and my hips are at the larger end of the range. Given my waist-to-hip ratio, I frequently having gaping in store-bought pants. I figured with the stretch that wouldn't be an issue with these leggings. Unfortunately, while they fit my hips and thighs perfectly, the waist definitely gapes a bit at the back. Since the waist doesn't fit right, they're not as secure as I'd like, and I have to adjust them/pull them up more frequently than I'd like. It's not a dealbreaker, but it is slightly annoying. Ultra high-rise: they are high-rise, but I wouldn't say "ultra". Plus-size ladies tend to have a higher natural waistline than straight sizes, and these come just below that for me. I actually would have returned them if they had been any lower, so I probably won't be purchasing any regular high-rise leggings from Athleta. Length: I am both tall and plus-size, and unfortunately Athleta doesn't offer that in their size ranges. My inseam is around 33", and these leggings definitely hit several inches above my ankles. It's fine, but I wish Athleta would expand their tall size range to include plus sizes. I'd actually love to purchase some of their wide-leg trousers, but it's just not an option for me unless I'm feeling like wearing floods. Overall, I'm happy enough with my purchase, but I'm definitely glad I got them on sale - with the fit issues, I'd be pretty unhappy with these if I'd paid full-price.

A workout staple. Works well with all colors; especially neon tops in hot pink, canary yellow, and bright blue. Black always works well with a pop of color.

These leggings are a go to for me. Super comfortable, buttery soft material but I still feel held in. I will wear for workout (barre & pilates) and for running around. I'm petite in height and the petite size fits me perfectly.

These are so soft and comfortable while also not too heavy for a workout. The waistband doesn't feel like it is digging in like other materials sometimes do. Great legging!
