Lovely super light mildly shaping garment. Feels better than silk :). Fit is super smooth, although the lines in the front might show through a thin clingy or close fitting dress. I actually found a different support bottom I'll use for my wedding but am keeping this just because I know I'll get tons of use out of it. Peg from Eloy, AZ USA

This seems like it would be a lovely garment, but the waistband elastic was so tight I could not get it over my hips. I had used the sizing chart on the item's page and fell in the middle of the M range but could not get the item on. I am waiting for the Large I exchanged it for to come. I am sure I'll be pleased, the fabric is lovely. Peg

I bought these to wear under skirts to prevent thigh chafing. They are very comfortable and do that job, however they are super-delicate. I hand-wash and hang to dry, but they began ripping with the very first wear. I even went up one size in case it was a matter of tightness, but they still ran from Day 1. Very disappointing. I can't justify the expense for something that lasts only a few weeks. Priscilla from Houston, TX

The light material really does make it more comfortable for warmer weather. I wanted something that wasn't too long in the leg, so I could wear it with an above-the-knee skirt without worrying if it would show and this shaper worked well. It did have a tendency to roll up a bit around the thighs but I have heavy upper thighs and the shorter the inseam the worse that problem gets for me. I ordered one size up because I really didn't want a lot of control. I wanted smoothness and elimination of thigh rub that results in heat rash in the summer and this really did the trick. I ordered a couple more since I like to be bare-legged in skirts in the summer. Mulva from USA

Very definitely pleased with this shapewear. Have ordered several more and recommended to my best friend. Lightweight and EFFECTIVE, as advertised, but the very best part is that there is NO little indentation in the flesh of my thigh which can be seen when my leg moves and which gives away that I'm wearing shapewear. No other product, including original Spanx, was as good about this. Carol from USA

Its nice that this is light weight but the seam goes right over your cheeks, creating a "line". Will be ok under a dress or skirt, but nothing clingy.

Assets Response: For shapewear needed under a tight clingy dress I would recommend our seamless collection called Remarkable Results . The Mid-thigh (style 245) is a great choice for eliminating tummy fat, muffin top, and love handles and remaining completely invisible. NK from PA

Finally ... a shaper to wear under clingy-fabric pants! Absolutely smooth thigh, with NO band or lumps at mid leg. And absolutely comfortable medium support everywhere. As advertised, cool, comfortable solution to panty and leg lines. Wicks moisture brilliantly and that's an end to summer chaffing! Best engineered shapewear I have tried, and I've tried a lot of them! Don't be afraid to go up a size if you find yourself on the sizing cusp. Jan from AR USA
