These are good quality and fit me well. I purchased the larger size (for myself), of 18, as my tummy is swollen due to health complications and they fit well. I am still trying to get used to wearing so much material, but one endeavours to maintain some decency. I think they will not be very cool to wear but will keep me decent out and about. I have more flimsy/cooler shorts for at home and on the beach if I manage to get there. Originally posted on www.evans.co.uk
