At first glance, Tavio looks like a simple pair of sports shorts, but look again. Inside, you'll findbuilt-in panties for extra comfort. The diagonal lines are flattering - yes, even around your bottom - and the waistband includes an insert with elastic, plus the option to thread in a cord or ribbon for a decorative finish. The edges are neatly finished with bias tape, either self-cut from your fabric or purchased separately. Ideal for the runners, yogis or cyclists among us.
