Do these shorts work as shapewear?

No. They are a soft layering short with a body-hugging fit, not a compression garment. Expect light smoothing, not firm shaping.

How do they fit compared with regular shorts?

They are cut to sit high above the waistline and hug the body. Many owners say they run snug, so size up if you are between sizes.

Can I wear them under a dress in winter?

Yes. They add light warmth without bulk, which is what they are designed for. For deep cold, pair them with tights or a heavier base layer.

How should I wash them?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, then tumble dry low and remove promptly. Skip chlorine bleach to protect the modal knit.

What is the inseam length?

The inseam is 9 inches, which gives mid-thigh coverage under skirts and dresses.
