ROBERT MATTHEW Brilliance Lower Tummy Control Shapewear Shorts for Women, Strapless, High Waist Body Shaper Under Dress

My body has grown four babies in seven years. I remain athletic and still somewhat petite at 5’ 3” and 140lbs, dress size 8. I was asked to be in a wedding that happened six months after my fourth baby was born. I was feeling self-conscious of my postpartum lumpiness in the dress style the bride chose so I bought this shaper in a size S/M. It fit as I expected and did an okay job of smoothing out my midsection but the lumpiness was simply displaced to my thighs where the bottom hem of the “shorts” of this shaper hit, and up at the top band of the shaper just under the breasts and around the back of the ribcage. I have very fit, muscular thighs and this still gave a bit of a snowman look to my legs when I wasn’t standing with muscles flexed (i.e., sitting). Thankfully this was hidden by the flowy dress skirt, but these thigh lumps would show up on anything tighter. The biting up around my ribcage was noticeable under my dress. It looked like I was wearing a way-too-tight bra. I had to choose whether I wanted some lumpiness around my hips/pelvis (not wear it) or some lumpiness around my back (wear it). I chose to wear it under the gown and have the biting up my back with the reasoning that my front and sides would be more visible than my back. In the end this was okay except that the synthetic material of my dress created TONS of static with the synthetic material of the shaper so I spent the whole evening tugging at my dress to straighten it out against the static. By the end of the night my dress was a bound-up, clinging, wrinkly mess. I’m guessing this shaper would have been great with a dress of a different material and a dress that wasn’t as form-fitting, but let’s face it: we’re all buying this because we are going to be wearing something form-fitting so that’s a moot argument. While this didn’t really work well for me and probably wasn’t worth wearing, I did give it three stars because it was not uncomfortable.

I like the firm control that these offer. However, the fabric is not seamless and not very breathable. Otherwise, it is a good product

I had high hopes for this shape wear because of all the reviews. So to be fair I will start off with what I did like.I needed this to go under awedding dress that I was wearing. Despite how it looked upon taking it out of the package it had a lot of stretch. It fit my stomach, waist and butt perfect.Now for the not so good part. Honey it was super duper super tight on my thighs. My skin was falling out of it. The worst part is that the leg part rolled up literally allllll night long. Beyond annoying! I attended a traditional Italian wedding. So I fought with pulling down the thigh area for 6 1/2 hours smh! It would roll up so high that it started to pinch the inner parts of my thighs. The part just under the bikini area. Ouch! We couldn't find anything to cut the edges to give me relief, so I resorted to ignoring it for a little then countless trips to the restroom to pull it down...The stomach area didn't roll down at all so that was awesome. Also we ate about a 10 course meal with endless drinks and desserts. Seriously I was so stuffed I thought I would pop but my stomach was never ever uncomfortable from the shape wear... (Although maybe that's why I felt like I would pop lol) But I am being fair so i will not blame it on that.. I literally ate endless plate options of a 10 course meal.When everything was over I took this off and my husband threw it in the garbage for me. I had no intentions of wearing again. The leg part was very uncomfortable.If you have thick thighs like me just beware.. I am 5'11 and size 14. Gave it 3 stars because it did smooth out my stomach for the gown that I wore to a wedding. For just one night, I sucked up the pain.

So I bought this body shaper for a special event coming up. It arrived in great condition, well-packed and all that. I tried it on for size - all good. It snugs in at all the right places, and does not feel like it is rolling up/ down while at the same time I can breathe. There's just one small problem that I can foresee... there's no crotch opening. I will be wearing a dress and a crinoline with this. I'm trying to imagine being in a tiny stall in a public restroom trying to wrestle this thing down past all that AND worse still, back up. The event is eight hours long, so it will be an interesting time. I'm giving it a go because it really does a good job at shaping which is its primary function. However, I would ask the manufacturer to have a heart. Once you have all that spandex situated just so, you sure don't want to have to do it over and over again. Let's face it, most women will reserve this type of undergarment for special occasions where she is already putting up with heels, netting, slips, static cling, push-up bras, and heaven forbid hosiery. The least manufacturers can do is make going to the bathroom an activity that doesn't require two lady's maids and a crowbar.

A mi esposa le gustó el soporte y la comodidad que le dió en su periodo postparto, y la sigue usando por que le gusta como define su figura (a mi tmbn jaja).

Exactly like the photo and great quality I am very happy about the product. I am 170cm and 65 kg but it is too small. I ordered two size and Large XL large is fitting good. Make sure to be generous with the sizing :/

Se marca mucho en las piernas, y las varillas son incómodas al estar sentada, la aguante 1 hora puesta.

I'm 165cm tall, weigh 62 kilos, and purchased the extra large because I have a slight muffin top and jelly padding in the bottom - Perfectly firm and snug fit! Highly recommend. Ordered July 4th. Received July 12th. Very happy with postage time, item quality, and seller!

Worn once and the wire is coming out. Pretty disappointing
