The fit is much nicer than usual tight cycle shorts. They juuust reach my knees, and have a smooth line under the dress. Most athletic shorts are way too short to protect my thighs, last week I ended up wearing bright blue yoga capris under a long skirt, I thought other readers might appreciate the product recommendation. I'm size 18 in Lane Bryant and I'm wearing the XL, I know they go to XXL, not sure if they go higher.
