Heavenly Shapewear Women's Wear Your Own Bra Zip Front Bodysuit

I ordered 2 to see how I like it and I have ordered 4 more! I love the fit,The zipper front, comfortable. I needed one for each day of the week.Updating my review... after using these for more than a year now, they are officially in my daily wear collection. I have 19 in Tan, Gray and Black... they bind me well, I can wear all day and do... Not for everyone, but I actually feel not normal when I'm not wearing it. For me, it's an excellent product for the price. When they ware out, easy to replace. I look amazing in my clothes... I'm 5'5 and 160... Oh, and I love the zipper and that I can wear my own bra.

I ordered a size L because I was not sure which chart size this shaper belongs to as there to multiple charts on their chart guide. I had to return the product because it's a bit loose. I'm normally a size M and I should of stick to my size. I've ordered a few other shapers and had to return them because it's too small and that is why I went up a size on this order. The seller was very kind as they refunded my order but allowed me to keep the product. The shaper is nice - it's smooth and great material. I gave it to my mother-in-law and she loves it. It fits her well and she was happy with it.

This item does no shaping at all. The material is very flexible which is great for comfort, but means that this doesn't work. I noticed no difference when I put it on and neither did my husband when I asked him if he noticed. I liked the concept of the zipper and if it would have worked like a real body shapewear I would have loved it. Unfortunately that was not the case.

Pros:- very good quality material: it's silky on the outside for easy slipping into your "real" clothes, and an especially comfortable type of fabric that doesn't feel itchy against the skin as shapewear (imho) often does. The hold is firm but not painful -- so my tummy feels reliably not jiggly, without feeling like I'm having all-day gas pains. Yay.- Very long extension options for shoulder straps. Allows for a much more customizable fit than lot of similar shapewear styles- Shoulder straps do push your boobs (slightly) together (although not really "up"), for a mild accentuation of cleavage (the effect is relatively minor, though, so definitely don't buy this solely for that purpose)Cons:- Obscenely poor sewing. Arrived with loose threads everywhere, *extremely* mismatched seams, etc. If you're willing to take the time you could reinforce the sewing yourself by hand without too much trouble, but if uncorrectable things like mismatched seams really bug you, skip this item- Be aware that the zipper is inexplicably longer than the opening for the zipper. By several inches. I'm trying it on right now and this isn't bothering me (i.e. I don't feel it), but it was confusing and I could easily see someone tearing the garment trying to pull the zipper down as far as it looks like it should go.- If you have extra chub on your outer hips, this item will accentuate that in pants or a thin skirt/dress. Where it hits, on me right at the hip-bone (I'm 5'8", but as I mentioned above this item is very adjustable in vertical length because of the shoulder straps), creates a small bulge immediately underneath. Unslightly unless you plan to wear this under much fuller skirts/dresses, or ones made of a very substantial material. (Or maybe it would work with a thigh shaper underneath.)- The crotch closure (three metal eyelet hooks) is way too wide. Like, pretty uncomfortably so. It's hard to imagine a woman designed this. Anyway, I ran across this same problem years ago with another shapewear item (different manufacturer), and with that piece a tolerable workaround was to hook only the center eyelet. You've still got the extra fabric and eyelets folded in between your uppermost thighs, but it should be comfortable if you trimmed off the extra eyelet hooks so they didn't irritate your undercarriage.Notes:- Trim off as many loose threads as you can before you even try to put it on, as these loose threads will get caught in the zipper, and they're really hard to free if that happens. (It's doable without harming the garment, but an unnecessary hassle.)- When you close the zipper, do so in smaller increments -- do NOT try to zip it all the way in one shot. I found that if I held the front piece closed and zipped it about 4 inches at a time (moving your hand up after each segment to keep closing the front) it was fine.Overall:Highly recommended if you're focused primarily on comfortable tummy support/compression. This is excellent for that. But don't buy this hoping to shape your hips as well (it'll only make things look worse), and don't buy it if you don't have the time or inclination to do some minor hand-sewing. For me, it's worth the effort because it's so hard to find a fabric I like, not to mention non-painful tummy compression, but for a lot of people it wouldn't be the right shapewear item.

What can I say. If you have worn shapewear you know how tight it can be, how hard it is to use the bathroom, and how hard to get into/out of.After trying out various like products, I found this to be easy to get into and out of due to the zipper. No pulling, tucking, stretching, pinching (I didn't even break a sweat getting it on) to get into it. It's snug enough to do the job even on a fluffy gal. It won't make you look like the model (let's be realistic, only exercise and a healthy diet will do that for anyone), but it will help smooth some of those rolls for that special dress or that cute suit ensemble. But it is not too snug that you want to remove it after 4 hours. This is a full office day or long night out product. I have worn/washed this product several times and it is holding up.

It really doe sn't need a zipper at all as it is too large, even though I have an extra large waste, this wasn't tight enough to do anything. Pulls up easily without unzipping, which is a good thing because the zipper itself is extremely difficult to use. I am strong and nimble but the zipper would barely move, so I pulled it on without unzipping. would be smoother without a useless zipper in the front.

The zipper in the front is real boon to getting a thing like this on. The Large is a little big for me and I have ordered a Medium, but have decided to keep both. The Medium is tight and makes me very shapely, but can be a little uncomfortable, and the Large works too but is a little looser. Both of them seem long in the body and the zipper comes up a little high for me, but I just leave it open a little and that works. It really pushes the bosom up from the sides towards the middle, kinda like a pushup bra. My only complaint is that the area right below the zipper, just above the hooks for the crotch is coming apart on both sizes. That's right where you grab it to open the hooks or close them, and I've put my finger through the seam on both of them. I plan to sew it up, but that's it so far.

This is the best bodyshaper I've ever bought... and I've had Spanx and Maidenform. It is true to size, and provides excellent support. It held me in and I looked great in the dress I bought to wear it under. Love the zipper, and love the fact that you can wear your own bra with this. I wore it all day long, the straps did not cut into my shoulders and I felt good. It worked for me!

Wow, these are such a great deal for the price. I bought one to try it and bought 3 more. I highly recommend this product and it fits well.

very happy with this item
