womens Body Shaper, Wear-your-own-bra Firm Control Shapewear, Open-bust Shaper

Wow! Great comfort! Nice smoothing effect. I thought shapewear would be confining and uncomfortable but this piece is actually comforting as it tucks me in and smooths in all the right places. I have some tummy overhang that is dreadful but this darling shapewear has no problem helping me out. I upsized and still it is flattering and has a nice hold. The quality is superb and the stretch /compression is perfect. I think the function is great under my clingy shimmery mother of the bride dress. The shoulder straps do not dig in because the shapewear is designed to hold on the body and not do all its work from the shoulders. There is a very high quality opening in the crotch so you can use the bathroom. The legs opening goes down the leg far enough that there is no bulging at all. A wonderful design. I'm a big girl so I have some areas that I'm targeting for a nice smooth effect and this shapewear knows what it's doing!

More than I expected! And just what I needed. I absolutely love this shaper! The compression in the tummy, waist, and back is amazing. It truly smooths out everything. What I like about this one is, it's most comfortable......a very easy to wear. Maybe not the easiest to get into, but surely not the hardest. I am 5'0 about 140lbs, I ordered the medium......fits perfectly. I struggled a bit getting it last by thighs and hips....for obvious reasons, I'm wider there, but I expected that so I was prepared for that. Nevertheless, there was no real struggle. I actually love this shapewear a lot. It has become my favorite. I put it on and wore it all day as a test to see how long I could comfortably wear it. Shockingly I was able to wear it for about 6hrs with no issues, could have gone longer but as I said....it was just a test. And yes I even made a trip to the restroom a few times. However, I will admit, although there's (what I call) a peephole, the hole could be much more accommodating if it were a wee bit larger. Not an issue though, as I sew and will open it up a bit. I suggest you do the same or have a seamstress do the honors. Other than that, I hope to have this shapewear for a long time. For the reasonable price and very timely shipping, it is indeed a good buy. I highly recommend it. UPDATE:2023 I've been now wearing this shaper since 2017 and it is STILL giving what it needs to give. I'm telling you if you are on the fence, get off, and make the purchase. I have worn, and of course done several washes hanging to dry, with no issues at all. I just purchased my second end of 2022, but only because it has been about 5 years, it was far past time. And yes the newer shaper fits and feels the exact same, I couldn't be happier. Today I am 150lbs and ordered the med, which still fits very well.

This really surprised me because it fit perfectly. I am size 16 and am 5’7” 215 lbs and bought a size large. The only reason for a 4 instead of 5 stars is because I couldn’t take the chance of wearing it and needing to use the restroom because the slit is not big enough for every need and I would need help with my zipper of my dress to pull it down from my shoulders if I needed more access and I don’t want a bathroom break to be a two person job. If you need something to simply take pictures in, this is perfect because it hides everything and the legs aren’t so tight that you bulge underneath the hem. If you are needing it for a long event (in my case for a wedding) it is not convenient. A snap design like a baby’s onesie would have made this the perfect under garment. I do plan to wear it to small events where I think I won’t need the restroom because it does exactly what it says it does without pain. I was afraid it would be so constricting that I wouldn’t be able to pull it up or that once I had it on it would hurt, but it’s super easy to get on and off and you can’t really feel it once it’s on. It does minimize the bra area, so if you want definition, it will be gone. Overall, I am very pleased that it offers so much control at a very affordable price, so I would highly recommend it.

I love this shapewear. I did a fair amount of research before I decided on purchasing this one. I wanted something that didn’t show if I wore low-cut tops (check), would prevent chafing when I wear skirts and dresses (check), and of course, would hold everything in in my midsection (check!). I wear this over a corset waist trainer (usually) to help suck everything in, it hides the corset wonderfully and it is comfortable. The leg parts don’t rise up or roll or anything, they stay exactly where they need to and they don’t squeeze. I love that. If you are curvy, you may have a little trouble getting it past your butt. Don’t try to pull it up when it’s all bunched up, I’ll tell you that much! Once you slip it over the booty it’s smooth sailing and fits incredibly well. It really smooths down the midsection. I don’t notice much change in my butt or boob area, but I don’t exactly need support in those areas as I haven’t had kids and I’m younger. I did need help with my belly and it does it’s job perfectly. The only con I have with this shapewear, is that the shoulder straps hang on the edge of my shoulders and tend to bother my arm pit area a little. However, I have very small shoulders so it’s probably not at the fault of the shapewear. It would be PERFECT if the straps were brought in by another half inch on each side, but if you don’t have really small shoulders, this probably won’t be any problem for you!

These fit as expected and while I have seen some reviews say the legs roll up, they do not! I am 5'1", 153 lbs and I do carry weight in my legs, and hips. I ordered a medium and it is perfect. I have purchased lots of different shapewear and this is the first I have worn that the legs don't roll up and don't create a crease in my thigh. I would say they give a medium compression, hold you in but you can sit, breathe and move. Very comfortable!

So I have worn this many times over the several months that I’ve owned it, and, while I'm still glad I bought it, it could be *so* much better. It definitely sculpts and smooths, especially tummy and back areas. I love that you can wear whatever bra (or not!) that your outfit requires. It’s supportive, too. However, the legs CONSTANTLY roll up. Maybe if you have twig legs this would be less of an issue, but it is the single worst thing about this garment and renders it almost unwearable. If you have to sit or move around at all-anything other than standing still or very moderate walking-the very thin leg material will be rolled up all the way to your panty line. Over and over. All night long. As other reviewers have mentioned, the slit to pee, while seemingly large, will give you false confidence. You will pee on yourself. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but it will absolutely happen. And there’s not a learning curve about it either—it just hit-or-miss. The other two smaller things are that the straps have begun fraying and coming apart, even after only a handful of wears. Also, the seam across the lower back of the garment actually creates a look of back fat creases, even if you don’t naturally have one there. It would be much more flattering for the seam to be elsewhere (or totally seamless there!). So, yeah, it does some of its purported job, but I know I will be dealing with a host of issues is I choose to wear it.

Fits perfectly. I love maidenform

wanted something to wear under a dress to a wedding to help smooth things out. it did pretty well at smoothing out my hip area, however it didn't help much in the stomach area which was the main reason I wanted to purchase some shapewear. it was very comfortable to wear, had it on for over 8 hours and I couldn't even tell I was wearing it. loved having the shorts part of this being someone with thicker thighs, kept them from rubbing together all day. while I did not actually use the restroom while wearing this, I could see having to go to the bathroom being an issue.
