This is the oddest fitting body shapewear I have ever worn. I am 5'2", and the torso is way too long, which results in little-to-no compression throughout the back, especially given that the material does not provide even moderate compression (even though this is supposed to be "firm" control). I have tried both a medium and a large, and I have the same problems with the fit. Worst of all, there is not way you can wear this with pants or a skirt because it gives you HORRIBLE panty lines--it looks like you're wearing a diaper!

I love these solely for their wide strap that doesn't dig in. As a very busty girl, I can very much appreciate this as sometimes even my best bras dig.

They also do a great job - initially - of "holding you in" but I find they stretch out quickly in the rear causing a very visible panty line coupled with an equally visible sag - nobody wants a saggy butt!

The torso also seems very long, but as I'm shorter myself, this may not be an issue for anyone over 5'6.

Despite this, I'm sure I'll continue to buy these because of their great straps and the fact that for the first few months of daily wear they shape beautifully under work attire.

Amazing!! This really is the best! It slims you without feeling stuffed like a sausage. Took it with me on my vacation to wear with some dressss and it made me feel like a million! Size runs true to size. I was prancing around I was so happy with the fit. Straps actually stay up. Fits through the torso like a dream. Leaves room for bra comfortably. Hook and eyes on the crutch to easily use the ladies' room.... Sounds like I'm getting paid for this review but I can assure you I'm not. Just a very satisfied customer!!

Okay, I'm in love with this thing, lol! First I'll say: I'm a solid size 18, apple shape, so getting into these things and then wearing them for longer than 60 seconds is a challenge for me, lol. I'm allllll about comfort, and I'm telling you - this is COMFY!! And I was nervous about this particular style- I've always wanted to try it, but thought the straps would be uncomfortable, but they're soft and stretchy. It looks small as all get out, but it was super easy to get on- very stretchy. Of course, I did order the 3x/4x (because I've learned with these types of things that going bigger is better, lol!) and I'm glad I did. I'm planning to lose some weight in the next couple months, so I'll probably order another one in a smaller size when that happens. I could probably have ordered another size down with this one, and it would have sucked everything in even more, but this'l do for the holiday season. It smooths everything out- enough that I just feel more confident about wearing certain tops with my jeans. I haven't tried it on with a dress yet, but I'm sure it'll do the same there. It doesn't smoosh down my apple shape belly, it just smooths everything out more (front and back) so that I'm not quite so lumpy and bumpy, lol. I won't be wearing my wiggle dresses just yet, but I'll feel a lot better when wearing anything else this holiday season. I've been sitting her at my desk at home typing on my laptop the last 20 minutes or so and seriously, this thing is still super comfy- I feel like I could go dancing in it, or comfortably sit down for a couple hours for a play or dinner or whatever and not even think about it- that would never happen for me with Spanx!! I'm throwing my Spanx away now, lol! I say give this a try- especially if you're a Prime member- returns are easy and free, so it's worth it.

I have a 42in waist and 50 in hips and ordered the 3X. Though I felt I ordered the wrong size, it certainly help achieve a smoother curvy look. I went out and bought the XL and I felt waaay better with that size, even though i could've gone down even to a Large, since the fabric is so stretchy yet it keeps it shape. I didn't feel pressure with the XL, so I wore it a couple of hours.
The only problem I have with this romper are the shoulder straps, for some reason, instead of staying in place, they roll inwards toward my armpit and start cutting into my skin.
