Nice body shaper

Yes, I recommend this

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.

Smooth and strong

Yes, I recommend this

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.

Comfortable and great firming

Yes, I recommend this

Tried many shapewear items and this was just PERFECT! I am apple shape, 36E bust, size 12 hips, and weight round tummy and needed to hold in and smooth back rolls and needed strapless but didn’t need bottom restricted and this was so perfect, hold in tummy firmly and smooth back, but relaxed fit on bottom, was perfect for the fitted dress giving a very smooth tummy and back and bust support was perfect too, I got36E which is my bra size and fit was perfect.

Great style but a bit uncomfortable

Yes, I recommend this

I like the shaping it gives and material - it looks great on. But the straps went wonky when I tried to adjust them and became uncomfortable, the poppers also cause some discomfort.

Great - did the job

Yes, I recommend this

I bought this in nude to go under a bridesmaid dress and it did the job and was comfy. Only issue was once you’d had a few drinks going to the toilet was a challenge to get the poppers on the gusset back around together. Took a bit of pulling and tugging to get things back in place. But otherwise great product

Super Comfortable! Medium Control

Yes, I recommend this

For context, I am a Size 14 and bought this for wearing under a strapless dress for an event. It is extremely comfortable and well-fitting for a Size 14 and I’ll be using it for everyday wear under work dresses etc. My only criticism is that it is listed as Firm Control but I would say it is only Light-Medium. Luckily my dress wasn’t too form-fitting, so it did the job of smoothing my silhouette really nicely (no lumps and bumps!). But for wearing under tight dresses and giving the appearance of a reduced waist / stomach area, this would not be enough control for me and I would prefer the material to be more restrictive to give me a better shape.

Looks good but poppers not in a useable position

No, I don't recommend this

The body suit looked and felt really good when I first put it on but unfortunately when I went to the loo the poppers were too far back for me to be able to re fasten them 😭 so I had to leave it unfastened which stopped it working as well

Great purchase

Yes, I recommend this

This bodysuit has really good tummy and hip control. It does exactly what it needs to do and holds you in perfectly while still being really comfortable. I have the both colours of these bodysuits which covers a multitude of dress colours. Would highly recommend this product.

Comfortable garment

No, I don't recommend this

Material feels nice, and is a comfortable garment once on. However, not the easiest to put on... get the straps fixed, one struggles to fasten the bra part. Would prefer if just a pull on. Wouldn't recommend

Versatile and comfy

Yes, I recommend this

Bought to wear under a close fitting spaghetti strap dress so wanted a strapless option. Very comfortable but would have preferred a firmer smoothing effect. Also, I’m 5ft 8 and a slightly longer length would have made it fit even better.
