great for travel
I admit it - I bought ... no intention of ever doing anything remotely athletic in them; we were about to take a very long trip and I wanted something that would look good and feel comfortable the entire time we were traveling. After looking at lots of yoga ... online, I picked ... because a) the fabric - I was impressed by photos of upside down women with their ... staying exactly where their ... were supposed to stay b) the reviews saying that the waistline actually sat at your waistline c) the price. I'm 5'81/2", about 165 lbs and ordered a large.

I work in a small office where the dress code is business casual and ... nice enough to get away with wearing all day ... then still wear them to pilates at lunch.

Love the feel!
... so comfortable! I ordered ... just a few weeks ago and today is the 1st day that I'm able to wear ... love the feel, there stretchy and cute color and on the ligher side of fabric.

Only only complaint and the reason I did not give ... 5 stars is that the waist is higher then I like. However, with that said- ... do hold in the tummy quite well.

Overall good gym ...
I like the Chaturanga ... because the rise is the less tight in the crotch than other ... tried though I still find myself needing to pull it down. Its like...in order for it to fit snug on the butt such that its supportive, than it is too tight in the crotch. I've found this with all the Athleta ... I've tried for working out. Its like the company doesn't understand a woman's body, which I find baffling for a company specializing in active wear for women. However, it is still a good ... wicking properties are awesome for really sweaty workouts. I ordered this ... sale this time in the midnight (yes, it is really dark purple ... very pretty) and charcoal. ... nice, ... fabric is a bit thinner than the ... black. Don't know why, ... tad disappointing. Maybe ... did that to all the colors. I hope not because the slightly thicker fabric on the black ... I've ordered before was perfect in hding imperfections and not begin too revealing in the gym. If you changed your fabric Athleta - please change it back!!
Love the feel
I bought ... petite medium (I'm 5'31/2") and they're the perfect length for doing yoga in--I'm not stepping on the bottoms like I am with some other ... own. ... also ... really silky feel to ... which is nice. They're all around very flattering for someone like me, on the curvier side.
Disappointed
I own many pairs of Pilayo ... different styles and colors. This is the first pair I will be sending back due to performance. I love the heather black color, ... after an intense cardio workout, I left the studio soaked in VISIBLE sweat. ... other Pilayo ... mask the sweat and I leave looking dry. ... not so much. Maybe its the color; not sure. If I had purchased them at a better price I might consider keeping ... lounging and running errands. Bottom line, if you sweat heavily during your workouts, including in the netherregions, you will leave looking like you had an accident, not a workout. If performance of the item is a concern, you may want to consider this before purchasing (at least the heather black color). If not, the ... fit great and look great on.
bottom too tight

Hmm, quality seems to be different
I ... bought 6 pairs of the Chaturanga ... three different colors since discovering them a few years back and they've been wonderful for working out, doing yoga and just living in everyday! I particularly liked the original Chaturanga black ... material that were shiny on the outside and of heavy quality, ... were nice to wear everywhere, to work and to the gym. ... had a dressy feel to them, unfortunately this material has been discontinued according to the company for some time now. Recently I bought two more pairs of the Chaturange style and ... say that the quality is different. The material is thinner and now seems to pill, which is something ... other chaturanga ... didn't do. I also noticed the stitch seam on the outside seems to fray easily now on the new ... Overall the quality seems to ... gone down, this is a shame because ... great style of ... am 5' 6'' and weigh 155lbs and wear a medium. I ... athletic build (narrow hips) and ... fit perfectly, the length comes almost to the bottom of ... sneaker. For the price I hope they'll improve upon the quality.
Love the ... hate the fabric
At first glance ... perfect- lightweight for the gym, and flattering on the booty. Even with bikini briefs I couldn't see a panty line while standing up (in the black ... rise is a touch high, ... good for staying in place during yoga/ fitness classes. ... were really comforable. I am 30 years old, 5'9", 170 lbs, athletic, and pear shaped and the medium fits perfectly. The length was great too. However, I am glad I tried to do a few moves in ... front of the mirror. Just bending down to touch ... toes pulled the material so much that you could see the design on ... underwear clearly through the fabric. Even with solid dark bottoms, you could easily see the underwear the second I bent over or did downward dog. ... went back beause I already ... pair of black bootcut workout ...
