We just do pants - seems easier.

Not modesty here but comfort. She is three and adores dresses. Sitting on a hot swing or in aground mulch in just her underwear(precisely because we don't stress sitting "modestly" is quite uncomfortable. The bike shorts add a layer of protection from heat and dirt/woodchips!

Factory J.Crew also sells "cartwheel" shorts for little girls.

I've found that underwear is often a bit loose and doesn't stay in place properly when they're running and playing, and they end up flashing people. It's not a big deal, they're kids, but I'd rather it not be something she or anyone else has to worry about. She's very comfortable in shorts/leggings/pants under her dresses. When we're going to formal events, I tell her she doesn't have to wear anything but underwear under her dress, and she still prefers to have something else.

You didn't read the OP who said sometimes more than underwear shows.

I have girls that love dresses and hates jeans. All of the other pants are thin enough that they go under dresses.

leggings and shorts. I don't want her worrying about showing her underwear when playing around, so she's always worn shorts/capris/leggings/pants under her dresses, and that's what she prefers.

We've had good luck with Hanna Anderrson dresses with bike shorts. Also Lands End leggings. Some children's place shorts too.

I like Capri leggings for DD because they stop her knees from getting scraped up and offer some protection from hot playground equipment.
