I got the CoCo Fashion Women's Solid Color Stretch Jumpsuit to wear under dresses that are slim fitting or lighter in color and translucent. I am 5'8" and 150 pounds, I normally wear a size 8 and sometimes a 10. I ordered the jumpsuit in a size XL based on the measurements given in the product description. It fits me really well.

The jumpsuit is lower in the back, which actually makes it perfect for dresses that are low cut in the back or have a keyhole. The fabric is breathable and it is comfortable to wear. It isn't like spanx, but does help hold everything in a little bit, so it smoothes out my love handles a bit for my more form fitting dresses. Since this has shorts, I also don't have to worry about the wind lifting my skirt or being super careful when bending down...this is especially important because I have two young children that I chase around constantly.

I got this in the khaki color, as I wanted it to be able to work under the largest variety of colors for dresses. It is a nice light neutral color. I am pretty pale and it is lighter than my skin tone, but it works well in terms of not showing through the dress. You can't even tell i have it on underneath. I am happy with this jumpsuit and it functions perfectly for what I am using it for.
I received this item free for my open, honest, and unbiased opinion.

The North 15 Men's Belted Classic Cargo Pockets Twill Shorts are lightweight and nice for summer. The fabric is 60% cotton and 40% polyester and it is pretty soft. They are a bit longer in length than I was expecting them to be when on my husband, but they do measure 14" in the inseam which is what is listed in the description. My husband wears a 38, I ordered him the 38 and they are a little bit snug, nothing major though. * I was able to order another pair in a size 40 and they fit better, so I would order a size up for a better fit*

The pants have lots of pockets. The back two pockets are secured by a button in the middle of the pocket The pockets on the sides of the legs are secured by two pieces of velcro each. Then you have the standard front pockets. You also get a belt with these shorts, it is a nice and the color matches perfectly.

The stitching is ok, though there is one spot around the left leg that is about 6 inches long that was double stitched. The thread color matches the fabric, so you can only notice it if you are looking up close. It is not something you would ever notice from far away. There are threads that need to be cut all over the pants. It isn't a huge deal and isn't terribly noticeable, but a little bit of a pain to cut them all and clean them up.

The shorts wash and dry well. Just machine wash on cold and tumble dry on low. Overall, these are decent pants and the lighter weight fabric makes them cooler to wear in the summer.
