The first time I wore this item it felt great. Sadly, the slimming did not last long as it seems that it is already losing its ability to shape and I have only had it for a month. Also, it is very frustrating when the straps unhook and come loose. It happens way more often then I would like.

Bought this item not for slimming purposes, but to smooth out the digs of my underwear and bra. I am a news reporter and sheath dresses are my go to. I have a few that are unlined, so I needed something that acted like a slip yet smoothed out my silhouette. As a reporter, I am a woman-one-show. I carry around all my equipment, setting it up, having to bend over and squat, so I really liked that this item had shorts to provide emergency coverage!! The reason I gave this a two-star is because the straps are completely visible when you're wearing a sleeveless dress. I wish this item was designed to match up exactly with your bra strap. As you can see in pictures, it rests on the outside of your bra, making it totally visible. I also don't think it's necessary to have butt lift support, because everyone has different assets, but that's just me. It digs under my butt once I've been moving in it, then it makes my butt look distorted, or like I got a horrible butt implant job. I still have yet to try it with an unlined cold-shoulder sheath dress I own and if it shows through that, we are returning.

Sizing is misleading. I have this brand in the bottoms and had to purchase an XL which is two sizes larger. This particular style did not do what it said it would. the top cut into the bottom of my chest and that was jut trying it on. It was so tight I was unable to breath. the bottoms however fit good but since it squeezes so tight it made my chub even chubbier.

It's very comfortable but it doesn't not shape you at all. Definitely size down if you want more than just a minimal amount of smoothing.

This is slimming but also tight in some of the wrong places. And the pads on the back side are just odd and stiff?

These work well for one event. I wore this to a wedding and by the end of the night it was already falling apart. I'm disappointed in the quality.

This way way too tight and uncomfortable. I even brought a size larger than I normally wear. Returned.

While I love the style of this garment, it does not fit true to size. I knower want it snug, but it wouldn’t come up high enough in the back and puffed out my back fat. It’s quite a bit smaller than the size chat indicates, need to return it. (3x)

Crotch hole is way too small- hard to use the restroom

I love the way it fit at the stomach part, but the straps are not comfortable. I would not be able to use this item.
