Post ab surgery, and post losing 85 lbs, I was in search of a garment to smooth excess skin, hold me in, and support my lower back and recovering ab muscles. I have the garment they gave me post surgery, and it's fine, but it's bulky and lumpy under clothes. So I really needed something to transition out of the industrial garment and into something supportive, but more discreet.I ordered by the size guidelines and it fits just right . If you wanted to cinch your waist more, you could possibly order down a size? Because the fabric is very stretchy-- but I cannot attest to if that would work, or be comfortable?I also purchased 3 other ab and waist support products, and spanx type waist cinchers on AMazon.This one is my favorite, by far.If you are looking for a waist cincher (like the photos imply) this is NOT that. The tiny waist in the photo is caused by the model, or photo shop, but this does not particularly make you have a tiny waist. It WILL suck you in like a good body shaper, but you won't lose several inches (you'd need a true corset for that).I was surprised, with the heavy fabric and double layer at front with the hooks and then the zipper over the top, I expected this to be bulky and unsightly under clothes, but it is not at all. Don't get me wrong, you can not wear this (or any major structure garment) under a thin, tight tshirt--- the zipper and seams will show. But under most anything else, it works great.I've worn it several dozen times and washed it just as many and it's still great.My favorite added feature is the neoprene fabric does a great job smoothing. all the lumps, bumps and bulges are smooth -- especially the back around bra straps, etc.I've paid 4x as much for body shapers, and this is the best, anywhere.I purchased this in black. It is well made and would work well on the outside of clothes for clubbing or a wench/pirate costume as well-- if you're into that type of thing.I am 5'11" tall and I was also happy to find this is long-waisted enough for me, just barely coming down over my the top of my hip bones. I imagine on an average or shorter woman, this would cover the hip.I'm reordering 2 more today, a back up and one in the nude color
