Spanx

This is definitely worth the money! It worked great under my dress. It smoothed out my "mommy" belly. The only thing that could have made it better was an option to add some butt enhancements.

This is not too tight but definitely smooths and stays in place well.

Comfortable, not binding waist nor leg opening, and wow - this knocks off 5-10 pounds without any effort. It definitely adds warmth to what you're wearing, so if you'll be in 85 degree weather in the sun, you may want to rethink if SPANX are worth it. For someone who has had 2 children and never quite lost the baby weight, this may become a staple in my wardrobe.

Has a pretty prominent seam down the front middle, so not great for a tight dress because the seam will show through :-/

I firmly believe in quality undergarments in order to wear a dress well. No matter how great your body, I think the dress can look even greater when it's smooth underneath. Even Hollywood does it!!! The only negative thing I can say is that it wasn't maximum control, which is my preference, but this was not a wedding or formal affair, so it worked well.

I wore these to a snow covered wedding under the Nicole Miller Kate Lace V Dress I rented from RTR. They were so thick and warm which I loved!!

though this is no corset, it does allow you to feel a lot better about putting something a bit slinkier on than you should. it's that extra something that makes you feel better about your midsection and ready to take on the night's events.

I wore this under my dress prior to going to the event and it smoothed out all the "lumpy bits" that a form-fitting satin dress exemplified. However, I tested the "going to the bathroom ability" and unfortunately it was IMPOSSIBLE TO PEE IN. I know I wasn't wearing it backwards, but I don't feel like a little flap is enough to let me use the bathroom sufficiently. I will be keeping it obviously, but will have to figure out a way to go to the bathroom hahaha. 4 stars because it works like its supposed to (flatten/ tighten, boost). Would've given it 5 stars had the crotch gusset been designed better.

Love, love, love
