I am a long time shapewear aficionado. Even when I was in my early twenties and barely 125 lbs. I just love looking snatched. All this to say I know my shapewear. I’m now a mom, 170 lbs and 5’5, typically a size 6 or 8 in dresses. I have a full blown mom belly and an F cup in bras.
Here’s my experience:
I purchased this much smaller, as you should with all your shapewear. Buying your actual size will not give you firm, compressing, snatched hold and the full benefits of shapewear.
The chart recommended Medium-Large and I went for an XSmall-Small and I am so glad I did.
Yes, it looks ridiculously tiny straight out the packaging but, it is shapewear not clothing. If you’re looking to fit comfortably in your clothes you have to hit the gym and not rely on these garments. This isn’t to shade or shame anyone but if you want to be snatched you have to take the discomfort whether through shapewear or the gym. Beauty is often pain.
