MaidenformWomens Ultra Firm Convertible Body Shaper With Built-In Underwire Bra

Runs a little small. Had to return it. Nice quality

I am new at buying and wearing shapewear. I wore this model for 8 hours today. Overall it's comfortable. I did do quite some bending and moving around in it. The bottom portion has nice fabric, is breathable and snug. It holds in your tummy. The hook opening in the back for the bra portion certainly helps to put this garment on. However, I needed help getting it done as it is very strong and tight. I tried closing it on my own for 20 min. and did not succeed. It only minimally pinches where the thigh meets the bottom. The cup size is off. I am a 38D, ordered that size and this is definitely too big. There is room all around and definitely felt like I am not wearing a bra at all. The Brastraps do come off, which I like, but the angle they are in cuts into my front shoulder by the armpit. It would also be extremely helpful if the hooks between the legs would be flipped. The hooks that need to go in the loop, are on the flap coming from the back bottom. Not only can you barely reach between to reach that flap, but you can't see anything there either. It is difficult to close that way. If the hooks would be on the front flap portion and the loops on the back bottom portion, it would be so much easier.If I would have ordered a smaller size, it would have been too small overall. I ordered several different ones before and had to send them back. So I am going to deal with the bra being too big, as it is one of the first ones that actually otherwise fit and does the job.

Ordered this item in a (band) size larger than normal and usual cup size. Although all shapewear is usually snug, this garment is like an actual torture chamber to put on! The torso length would only fit a midget. I am 5'7" and after stepping into the garment, the cups came about up to my waist. I un-did the hooks at the bottom thinking I could buy an extender to lengthen the torso, and pulled the cups up to the proper position. The cups were the only thing that actually fit fine. I specifically ordered this garment because I needed a low backed strapless bra for a wedding dress but the set of about 8 hooks on the back was completely impossible to hook on your own, and even going up a size in the band, was about 6" too short. When I finally had my daughter do the hooks, the back of the garment was lumpy, bumpy, encouraged muffin top and exaggerated back fat. I could not wait to take it off and return. Epic fail.The only person I could see wearing this garment would be a stick-thin person with an extremely short torso. But why would you need this then? I would look elsewhere if you are over a size 6!

Well, this was a character building experience. I purchased this garment to wear under a "fancy" dress for an upcoming event. I needed something with a low back and that could be worn strapless - both features of this garment. The shapewear element is a bonus feature, because having a smoother look under the fancy garment is all the better, right? I have several Maidenform bras, which I wear regularly, so I ordered this garment in the same size. This is where the character building comes in... I receive the garment and try it on, or attempt to. The cup size in the bra part is perfect, but the rest is a struggle. I pull the garment on by stepping in and pulling it up. It definitely smoothed out the tummy area, and the hips, but the extra hip flab all got squeezed up into the low back opening - sexy, no? And I could not, with no amount of trying, fasten the bra band behind my back (keep in mind, I wear this same size in Maidenform bras). To get the bra band fastened, I had to fasten it BEFORE stepping into the garment - extra points for difficulty and even more unwanted flab shifting with that maneuver. I could probably achieve a better fit if I asked for help getting into this garment - a second person to tug and tuck - but I cannot imagine asking anyone to help with that. As the saying goes, "Nobody needs to see that!" As you might've guessed by now, I don't normally wear a lot of shapewear. This particular garment seems really well made, I was just caught off guard by how snug the bra band fits and just how challenging it is for me to get into it and achieve a flattering silhouette. I really don't think sizing up would have been the right move, given the cup size is spot on. The jury is out on whether I'll be wearing this for the upcoming event, but I will give it the old college try!

Finally! This is THE BEST quality & EXACTLY as described, actually better! I'm petite so it was hard to find 1 that fit right & this is absolutely perfect!

The sizing is extremely small in the shaper. The cups looked correct, but while I wear a 42D, this would not have slipped up over one hip. Look for another product if you are plus sized.

Wore this strapless at an album launch and it gave me the hourglass shape I had lost, had me feeling supported throughout my chest and core, giving me back some of the confidence I had lost. The boning granted a visible waistline, the breathable material made it easy to wear, firm elasticity made it easy on and off yet held me in securely.

I'm 5'5" and weigh 150 on a bad day, with 34DD. This product certainly felt like it worked, but it was a few inches too short and when secured by the crotch it pulled the cups down to where my boobs usually sit, which obviously isn't where I want them lol Anyway, it was understandably uncomfortable and created a somewhat ideal shape, and at least my boobs had shape even though they were still technically sagging. I bought this so that my boobs would be supported by something strapless like a corset, so I guess it got the job done. But I also hoped it would take a few more inches off and it only made a 1 inch difference. On top of that, since it was too short, it gave me side boobs and was not flattering on my back at all. Pudgy. I'm not exactly fat, and I'm not skinny either, so wearing this and seeing pudge made me feel self conscious. It also made me feel a bit suffocated since the material didn't breathe well, but I guess that's the price for buying a corset, basically. I returned it for something longer.

Fits exactly perfect. I can’t wait to wear it with a dress that I want to hide my rolls Lol. Thank you AMAZON !!!

En teoría no deberíamos pedir una faja más grande, pero está la pedí y ni respirar podía. Y la pedí en la talla que soy, no le busqué una menos

De torso es corto pero lo peor es que no aprieta nada la panza pero en la espalda si y te saca rollos. Me veo mejor sin la faja. No gasten su dinero.

Me gustó mucho, el único problema es la talla, pedí en talla 36B y me llego 36D, exageradamente grande para lo que pedí.Espero que el próximo que pedí me llegue la copa adecuada😔

Excellent product, really happy with the quality.I'm a curvy size 12L/14 (UK), cup size C, and 168cm. I ordered 38B and it fits perfect - makes my waist look tiny and good smoothing of my tummy. The cups run large and body runs small/short, I'm quite tall so got a slightly bigger size to accommodate the vertical stretch. I wouldn't wear it strapless as I need the shoulder straps to keep it stretched vertically and I need a lower back so I have less support around the bust. You could move the back strap up or down an inch easily to accommodate more support or a lower cut. It has medium support which is just perfect, any tighter and you'd get spillage as the low back cuts right across the squishy part. It has boning in the front - a little uncomfortable if you slouch when you sit but otherwise really comfortable to wear, and nice and secure around my derriere - so no riding up.
