Hello,This is the first Spanx I've owned . I looked at the size chart and was Leary of things that fit snug . I ordered a 1xl and very glad I did . I am 130 lbs , 5"3 , and this product stretches but I could not wear a smaller size without it being a fight to pull this up. I'm just normal size, size 10 pants to give you a good idea . So I recommend to size up ladies . I will be keeping this , I haven't had an occasion to wear it yet , I just tried it on and am leaving this review . No problems ,See full review
