Revainrating 5 out of 5

Superb shapewear suitable for underwear

Love it! I ordered a leotard with adjustable straps. It looks like great quality. No weird smell, smells really good. It has a grippy texture on the outside that I LOVE! I had trouble with my leggings falling down and my tighter shirts riding up. No longer! Some people mistakenly believe that bones are plastic because they are flexible. As a lingerie seamstress, I can tell you that steel wire bindings are the best (and highest quality) boning available. It's not plastic. It doesn't warp or wrinkle like plastic underwires (that's why I can't buy cheap corsets. They always wrinkle where my waist widens towards my hips and dig into me). The spiral steel bones are flexible and flex to move with you, but don't pinch or bend, and they return to their original shape when you take them off. Size: Do not rely on other height and weight measurements. We all carry our weight in very different ways. I'm 5ft 3 inches and am now 185 with a bump after having a baby. I'm a bit overweight, but I don't look very fat as my weight would suggest. I wear oversized shirts and my pants are a size 8-. 10. My Measurements: Full Chest - 44" Bust - 33" Waist - 36" Hips - 43" Bra Size - 32-34J depending on the brand (it's 7-8D for those who don't bother with know about large bust sizes) . My fluffy belly is 36 inches which puts me in XXXXL. It sounded like too much so I ordered XXXL. I could easily go to XXL if I want to work my waistline. The XXXL I have is snug enough to flatten my stomach nicely, but comfortable enough to wear all day, every day. It's a comfortable shapewear that doesn't roll up or down. My only complaint is that the straps don't fit snugly on my bust, which doesn't surprise me as I have huge boobs and the rib cage and underbust are too wide. quite small. If I were wider or had a larger chest (which usually implies my larger size) the straps would lay flat. Anyway, they form a little triangle that sticks out and peeks out from under my clothes. I simply folded them into a fold that lays flat against my chest and attached them to my sewing machine.

Pros
  • Waist cinchers
Cons
  • Out of fashion
