No good for me.

Yes, I recommend this

I'm a size 16 and these were way too tight on my tummy. It made me feel even more bloated so unfortunately they had to go back.

Holiday Purchase

Yes, I recommend this

The product was good and fitted although quite difficult to pull up over my large hips. I have bought this for wearing under my evening dress on a holiday cruise so have not worn it for any length of tome.

Very comfortable and flattering. I thought they would get uncomfortable, as it held me in a lot, but I forgot I was wearing them! Would definitely recommend.

Just the Job

Yes, I recommend this

First tried another brand, full body suit, which did nothing to control my tummy and cost more than 3 times as much. Was very pleased to find these did exactly what I needed. Ordered a size 16 to wear under dress size 14. Easy to pull on but good control.

Comfy and flattering

Yes, I recommend this

I bought one size smaller (size 14) as I have a large stomach and was pleased with the effects. It was comfortable to wear all evening and pulled my stomach in well even after eating.

Absolutely awful

No, I don't recommend this

Absolutely awful. Firstly, you need to buy a size up. Even then, I doubt you'll find it comfortable unless you're already slim and curveless. I'm a size 14 with a tiny wee belly. I sized up to a 16. Still so tight I have to jump and huff and puff to get them on. Once in, they're great. Really strong compression and give a great silhouette. But they do nothing but roll down constantly. This creates a chunky roll of fabric at the top as well as letting any flabby bit poke out the top. Super uncomfortable. Ridiculous sizing. Unfit for purpose.

Bought this to wear under strapless/spaghetti strap dresses and didn’t want a padded one. Very supportive and comfortable. True to my normal size and very stylish.

Too many seams!

No, I don't recommend this

Wanted something to go under a silk dress, but these weren't the ones as you could see all the seams through the dress. Also didn't really hold my tummy in!

Not happy with fit

No, I don't recommend this

I bought this to go under jeans to slim me out a bit. My jeans are a bit tight at the moment as put some weight on over Christmas so just wanted something comfortable to wear that would help until I'd lost a few pounds. I'm a size 12 (M&S sizing) and ordered a 12 and this went on easily. The problem with it is that it's ok for shaping you waist hips but further down where it ends it causes a 'bulge' on the top of your thighs as it's tight fitting. The top of my thighs are fine without it, so it's making a problem area where there isn't one. It is also extremely uncomfortable and rides down when you wear it making it dig in. I doubt I could wear this for any length of time, even the short time I took trying different jeans on with it was enough for me! I recommend getting the garment that goes further down your legs so that you get an overall smooth appearance.

I couldn’t even get these past my hips despite being my size. I’m four months postpartum so maybe it was too soon to try shapewear!

Absolutely does the job you want.

Yes, I recommend this

I bought this item of clothing to go beneath a fitted mesh dress as I didn’t want any visible undergarment lines. I’m between a 10 and a 12. I bought a 12. They absolutely did the job, stayed put all evening with no rolling down and my dress and shape looked fab from start to finish despite eating an enormous Danish Christmas supper.
