I chose this garment because it looked like it would do the job I required without being heavy, and I chose correctly. This shaper is very light in weight but very strong and holds in place without binding those places on my body that need it the most. I felt cool and comfortable while wearing it. I endorse this product wholeheartedly. (In my opinion, it is a much better product than the current more popular one whose name ends in X!)I'm a small, but have a bit of a belly, so I wanted to wear something that would slim it down. It did absolutely nothing for me. It was hard to put on as it was tight, but not tight enough at the stomach area to minimize the belly. Giving it 3 stars cause it did smooth it a little bit, but did not actually work the way I was hoping it wouldIt was WAY long waisted on me but then, I am super short waisted. So I made a tuck in the bodice of about 4 inches, so it fits perfectly now. I wish they made a short waisted version, then I'd give 5 stars. I love the fabric, stays cool in summer, and I like the little booty boost it gives too.Im 200 lbs with extremely large thighs. Shapewear comfortable, but hard to use restroom, opening needs to be larger. It helped to make hips appear less bulging.I like the shaper, it was very comfortable and easy to put on. I really like the length down to my knees, no panty line or leg line. The only thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars was , it was not good when you had to go to the restroom. The opening , not good at all. I would recommend this product with exceptions.It fit me well under my dress well and held eveything in place nicely. The only trouble is if you have to use the bathroom, I had to remove the entire body suit. Otherwise, I was glad I bought this and it is very lightweight.It did the job but was hard to put on and the crotch opening was tricky. Don't wear panty hose with this unless you have a strong bladder or don't mind getting undressed to go potty. It does keep everything in place.I have difficulty going to the toilet. They are snug but look great.
