I preemptively bought this with wedding dress shopping in mind, and I wanted to make sure this wasn't too uncomfortable or tight to wear for a day. If anything, I could've gone a bit smaller because I didn't see too much of a difference (I bought a 3X for a 36" waist), but I'm thinking the slight wiggle room is what made this comfortable enough to wear for half a day with no issues. The flap between the legs isn't very easy to use, and I'm thinking I'll take the garter tags off. But it does smooth things out and eliminates the jiggle well.
Product was received with no packaging; but shoved in a letter. I was skeptical to even try it on as I'm concerned about the potential contact.
The pattern it has quite itchy at first and neeed some getting used to. However the material was quite strong and didn't fee like it would crumble like lacy products due.
I didn't realize it came with the pieces which are removable I later discovered for hosiery but they are awkwardly located and quite painful to sit on.
The last comment I have which really bothered me was the location of the slit on the crotch for accessibility for washroom visits. Perhaps this garment is meant for a men or those with external genitalia as the hole is located rather far off to the side and down the leg some as you would see in boxer brief type male underwear. The material has some give to "move" but I'm not exactly one for accidental urinating slippage and am disgusted I would be putting myself at jealousy as I struggle to the material and a dress. I will be returning this item for this reason alone.
Otherwise the fit was as expected, the boning held strong and the fit held its resistance/support for the day.

Yes, I did return this, but only because of the sizing issue. I took measurements and still wasn't able to get the shapewear on.
That being said, It was incredibly sturdy and looked really nice too. If I had the time to order another before the wedding and try it on for fit I would probably choose this one again. It felt much more sturdy than Spanx or other comparative shapewear.
Wow. Wow wow wow wow. I bought this to wear under my wedding dress; for reference, I got a 6X and I'm 5'7" and ~275 lbs, apple shape, so I carry most of my weight in the middle, where this thing goes. I have to say, it does things I didn't know shapewear could do. My stomach is FLAT (how?!) and although it took some effort to get on, once it was it's pretty comfortable for being so tight and I can bend over and move and stuff and I don't feel like I'm dying. The garter tabs on the back were digging into my thighs, though, so I just cut them off, I don't need them anyway. The shorts also help with thigh chafing, which is a plus. Seriously worth the money, I can see myself wearing this a lot and it looks like it's going to last a looong time. Also should add: I first tried Spanx Higher Power and it is laughable how much better a product this is; the Spanx felt like pantyhose, like I could rip it in a second, and barely did anything, whereas this is durable and does more than what I needed it to. Amazing.
Love it. Soft, flexible, love the boning in the upper section. The legs did roll up on me a little bit, but we easily rolled back down. It was easier to get on than I had thought it would be - still a bit of work, but not a Battle Royale. Will def. buy another when I shrink out of this one! Arrived lightning quick and well packaged.
