I've got a couple of these shorts - the chamois pad is one of the most comfortable I've found and the shorts are ideal for warm days. I'm a size 14 and found that an XL was a more comfortable fit than an L.
Product Details
Castelli Velocissima 3 Womens Short
A great option for long days on the bike, the Castelli Velocissima 3 Womens Short is comfortable and supportive, with a flattering cut. Endurance Evolution fabric delivers light compression to the muscles while being stretchy enough for full pedalling freedom, and silicone print inside the raw-edge hem prevents the short from riding up without over-squeezing the thigh. You'll be well protected in the saddle by the women's-specific KISS Air² Donna seat pad, which effectively damps vibrations from rough roads. The short is finished with reflective details on the back to aid visibility in low light.

Reviews
Haven’t had the chance to ride in these yet, but they seem to fit nicely and the pad isn’t as bulky as some other brands (which have been problematic for me)

About Castelli
At the front since 1876.
Castelli has been at the front of cycling apparel since 1876, founded in Milan as the original maker of pro race kit. From the first cycling jerseys to today's WorldTour-proven aero garments, the brand has spent nearly 150 years putting innovation onto the backs of the fastest riders in the world.
Castelli outfitted the first organised cycling teams in Italy and has been a constant presence in the pro peloton ever since. The Scorpion logo appears on more WorldTour podiums than almost any other apparel mark.
