Good but short body

Yes, I recommend this

It’s a nice strapless shaper, was good hold for the day. I would say it was shorter in the body than I would hope for. Not as comfy as the day wore on.

A great foundation item

Yes, I recommend this

Excellent control and a perfect foundation item under a smart dress. I was initially sceptical due to mixed reviews. For sizing (as in cup size swimwear) I was always told to go up a body size from ususal bra measurement (ie 36 from 34), and down a cup size (E to DD). Works every time! I wear dress size 14/16, aged 55+. Very pleased with this item and it was comfortable for 12 hours of wear. Would recommend.

Dreadful MS what has happened to this

No, I don't recommend this

Worst shapewear ever The bra fastening bit at the back leaves a big hole and looks terrible under clothing? It’s uncomfortable and cuts in at the gusset It is the only shapewear I have known T actually cause lumps and bumps under a dress … the previous one which pulled on like a swimsuit gave a smooth back and silhouette This is shocking took tags off so couldn’t return … binned it!!! WSte of my hard earned money if they had no star rating I would have ticked it

Mixed feelings but worked in the end

Yes, I recommend this

I have mixed feelings - the quality is good but it wasn’t a perfect fit because, like many women, I am not the same size top and bottom. The 32” bra size was a good fit on top but too snug on the bottom half. This meant I had to go up to the 34” but had to add inserts into the cups to fill them out. To be fair it worked well for the overall look so I kept the item.

Yes, I recommend this

Pulls my stomach in and smooths my hips into a nice shape but really pushes my bum flat at the top the bottom still has shape but my bum usually looks really round from the back and side but with this on it makes it very flat especially from the side profile

Great quality and fit

Yes, I recommend this

I love this bodysuit, it fits really nicely, with smaller boobs it's harder to find underwear that fits well sometimes with other brands, but M&S items always seem to fit very nicely. I like the tummy control and that this feels effective but not overly restrictive.

Nice body shaper

A lovely comfortable fit, good quality. Wouldnt say it is a firm fit, but does give a smooth line under close fit dresses though.

Would not repurchase

No, I don't recommend this

Cup sizes too large, underwire comes too far up under the armpit and digs in. The tummy control is spectacular, however... There needs to be some silicone grip etc added to the bum region. It just will not stay in place. Wore it to a wedding and had to end up removing it straight after the dinner because it was giving me the worst wedgie I have experienced in my life.

This is a really nice item, the material is strong and feels smooth. The only downside I had is I was unable to do the bra up from behind.

Great support and form

It was a great fit, very supportive. I wore it under a strapless clingy evening gown and there were no seams and i felt confident in what i was wearing.
