I needed a garter belt but opted for this because the regular garter belts created even more lines under my suits (I assume this happens to everyone who does not have a completely flat stomach). This works perfectly. The cinching is just enough to provide a smooth surface for clothing without creating bulges at either end. I often remove the garter clips and wear it with jeans and a sweater.

This is so beautiful! I bought it to go under my halloween costume (a kitty "dress") because the dress has a zip-up front and showed a bit of a pouch above my belly button. I bought a Medium even though I am a size 8 - it doesn't take inches off but it gets rid of the pouch issue I had because of the zipper lining. Plus I love the garter straps (strong fabric and metal clasps)!!!!! The only issue I had was that one of the garter straps was missing (back of the right thigh) so I called HerRoom today and they told me they are going to ship me the strap and it should arrive early next week - plenty of time before Halloween! They were very courteous and helpful, and I am very pleased!

I originally ordered this in L (I'm XL in other Rago items) and had to re-order it in a medium... Which should say something about the size. (Waist 32 inches, Hips 39). It's not terribly supportive; it doesn't take off any inches, but it does smooth out my lower abdomen. And it's really pretty.

Based on other reviews I bought an XL to fit my 36 inch waist and it fit perfectly. It doesn't give you a whole lot of support, but it looks, and feels great on. I put it together with a bullet bra for a 50s glamour look, and it looked smashing. My husband absolutely loves it as well. I wish they made more colors in this I would buy them all.

Love it! The only reason I didn't give it 5 star is because of the whole size issue. I ordered an XL thinking that was going to be small enough, and had to reorder a large. On the other hand, my husband would give it a 5 star rating.

This is a beautifully made, retro styled garment. I, however, have to return it because it runs too big (such a disappointment)! At a waist size 26, the garment fits slightly loose, with no cinching action whatsoever. I would recommend getting a size smaller than usual and it might actually work. Wish this came in smaller sizes (hey everyone needs help when trying to fit into retro clothing!).

This waist cincher is worth every penny. I'm a crossdresser so I need every bit of help I can get to achieve a nice waist line. This product is made very well and has a sexy retro look to it that I love. Doesn't slide down and the metal garter clasps work much better than plastic. Rago has done it again!
After I received it I thought maybe I should have went down a size but after wearing it out one night for about 6 hours I was glad I didn't. After all it's a cincher not a corset. It will nip you in where it counts.
The service was exceptional.

I love this item and it is very comfortable. I could have gone done a size since it does have a good amount of stretch but it's so pretty that I'd never send it back. I'll just get another one in a smaller size when I want something that pulls me in more. Add that to great customer service and it's a perfect combination.
Thanks so much!

I took the advice of the reviewers in the comment section and ordered this one size too small. Normally, I take an XL since I've got a 33" waist. I ordered the Large and it fits quite nicely. In fact, I probably could have gotten away with a Medium. I am used to wearing cinchers though and I like them to fit snug. Although the Large does fit well, I think the Medium really would have taken an extra inch or so off my waist. But it's very sexy and there's something to be said for that!
