I ordered this to wear under my wedding dress. I have not worn it for my wedding dress yet. I have tried it on and it works great. I needed something I could wear with a strapless dress. This is perfect. I normally wear a 10/12 dress size and I ordered a Large. I would not want the larger size. Some of the reviews stated they ordered a larger size. I would suggest stick with your size and not go up a size. It will fit tight, but that is what it is supposed to do. It was comfortable and I could move around and sit without any issues.

The thing I don't like is that it's not long enough 2 meet the bra, so u may show the gap underneath your clothing. It does have good support.

I bought this waist cincher to go under my bridesmaid dress for a wedding I had last week. Having never owned a girdle, I was a little apprehensive about how uncomfortable it would be, but I figured "pain is beauty". When the product arrived, I tried it on, promising myself that I wouldn't complain about how tight it felt and that I would wear it the whole night even if I couldn't breathe. I am pleased to report that I was pleasantly surprised! Not only was this waist cincher extremely comfortable, but all the girls in the wedding party commented on how cute it looked while we were getting ready together. The best part is, that it actually does a great job. It flattened my stomach and gave my hips a nice hourglass shape. There was a noticeable difference how the dress looked on me when I was/wasn't wearing this. I have taken to wearing this daily, just because I like the figure it gives me. My only complaint, and obviously this isn't a huge complaint because the review is 5 stars, would be that the front bunches up a little bit when you sit down. However, it's hardly noticeable unless you're wearing super tight clothing.

I do like this shaper pretty well. I can put on pretty easy. I really like the idea of as you lose weight you can sinch it in. The material is okay. The back side is like a mesh feeling. I wore it all day and it did become uncomfortable. Like the material was rubbing me making it not so nice. Within hours of putting it in the mesh material on the back size did like a run in a pair of pantyhose. I was not so excited about that. All in all the shaper dies it's job.

When I pulled this out of the box, I laughed and thought there was no way it was going to fit. However, I was surprised at how stretchy it was and it went on no problem. The sizing chart was accurate, and one of the things I really like about this corset is that it has a shorter torso region than some of the others that I've tried. I'm short, and often these are too long in the torso to be comfortable. One thing I don't like is the placement of the hooks in the crotch. They are too far back to be easy to access.
