This is so retro awesome! I bought it for a photo shoot and it really stole the show. Please, though, READ THE SIZE CHART before ordering. Then, order about 2 sizes smaller than you think you need, going by your measurements. For example, my measurements of 45/48/53 put me above the 8x, the largest size available. However, the 8x totally gaped on me. The 6x was perfect. The measurements that are most important for this item are your empire waist/underboob measurement and your hip measurement. Also, if you are tall (or have a big derrierre like me), the garter straps in the back are not long enough to stretch over my butt when I'm sitting, they are very uncomfortable. The front ones fit great though. And the garters are removable. I would recommend this for a vintage lingerie look. I paired it with a lacey bullet bra that I also found at HerRoom and looked awesome! Rebecca from seattle, wa

I got this item (in XS) to use with my seamed stockings (I love the 1940's-50's style clothing). It goes great under everything. It was a bit snug at first, but after having it on for 5 minutes it felt great. My waist was 25 3/4 inches before, and it was 24 inches after getting the cincher on. It gave me the hour glass figure I wanted. I am thin, but I have also had a child and still have just a bit of a pooch. This cincher makes it totally flat. I also have a bad habit of slouching due to back problems. I noticed that I sit and stand a lot straighter with this on. Oh and before I forget, Thanks Herroom. Super fast shipping. R.S. from CA

This garment was perfect under my silk wedding dress. It tucked me in, no visible lines showed and was comfortable all night long. I wore it from 3pm to midnight. The sizing felt true and took 1.5 inches off my waist. I will definitely order again in another color as I love to wear 50's style clothing and "foundation" undergarments are absolutely essential.

The waist cincher is fantastic, fit's like a glove, doesn't slip or ride up. My husband just loves the way I look in it. Great product, well made. Wendy from New Bern

I bought this to see if it would help my figure when wearing skirts and let me tell you it fit perfect. My husband surely notice the change and even liked the idea that it had garters. I'm very happy with this item and recommend it to one and all. Viki Castillo from New Bern

Don't believe the size chart that HerRoom provides, it is incorrect! Evidently HerRoom doesn't know enough about what they are doing to provide a proper size chart.

HerRoom Response: We have confirmed with Rago that our size chart is correct. Unhappy buyer from NC U.S.A.

I really like this waist cincher, it's very well constructed. I am a dress size 14, and I got the large based on measurements. It was a little tight, but I had to wear it that evening. I managed to get it on and I looked fantastic in it. If I had the time, I would have returned it for an XL, but the L does the job for me. Stacey

The garment is great, fits well and feels good. However, my waist is large in proportion to my hips, and I had to return the large size that was on the chart. Exchanged it for 2x and am very pleased. Dorothy from Memphis, TN USA

Size fits well. Snugs in the waist and gives good back support. Bottom edge has a tendency to roll up a little unless gartered stockings are worn. Jerri from Kankakee, Illinois, USA

really nips in the waist for a wasp look! Didn't care for the bumps caused by the garter attachments. bottom rolls up if not secured by tight pants. 1smoothgal from Texas

I found it does not support one as it appears to in the picture. I am not happy with it. Judy from Wade

I bought this cincher for extra help fitting into my wedding dress, which has a very fitted midsection, and the dress was a smaller waist size than I was when I bought it. I def had some unwanted love handle action going on. I couldn't have fit into the gown without exercising every morning for the past two or three months or so, but this cincher gives the extra help I needed to finally zip the dress up all the way without worrying about busting my (vintage) dress. I bought it in a size smaller than I am, as I was told by a friend you should do for maximum effect. But no one product can work magic. Ladies, if you are in a similar situation, I recommend exercising regularly and watching your diet in addition to wearing this garment. Colleen from Baton Rouge, LA 70806

This is a great shaper and very well made. Also is very comfortable but runs a little small. I ordered a size larger and it fits perfectly. I would highly recommend this product. Mona from New York

Absolutely the BEST for shaping and posture, great to wear under a black cocktail dress or other dress when you want to feel supported and have a perfect figure. I've tried everything, this works better than anything. MM from CA

I love it! Fits well, flattens stomach well, creates a waist and improves posture greatly. Bought the small from another vendor and found HerRoom in search for the x-small. I'm still wearing the small, but I hope to use the x-small soon as I'm a little less swollen. Kim from Drums, PA, United States

Love it, love it, LOVE IT! I wear an 8 and the MED is perfect. Hides belly and midriff fat and gave me a waistline. Highly recommend this shaper! Caryn from Tennessee

It fits great and helps give my vintage dresses the right look. I ordered the size large according to the sizing chart and it fit great, but I think I might try ordering a medium as well to see if I can get any extra cinching. Thanks for the fast shipping too! Amy from MT/US

this is so awesome! its very vintage betty page pinup sexy, and it shapes you great too! i bought the medium but im exchanging for a large. it does stretch, but if you buy a size down and you have pudge, it can make you look a little strange, your waist gets really small and hips too big. the back sort of buckles when it hits my butt, but it works really great otherwise. love it! lucy from new york

Perfect! Great holding power, but doesn't bind uncomfortably. I can wear it through an 8hour day comfortably. I love the complements I get on my figure now. Mary from Madison, WI

Great product! I am actually a size small but felt as if there wasn't enough cinch, read a review about someone ordering an xs, and though I'd try it. Fits a little tight but no bunching. L from MI

I followed the sizing instructions for this product, and it was WAY too small. I ordered another (2 day air) before sending the first one back, since it was for a special occasion. This one I ordered 2 sizes larger, an XL. Guess what? It was still too small! I recommend placing a call to confirm what size to order. It is a nicely made item, and is very pretty. Too bad I had to get one not as nice at the last minute from Wal-Mart. But at least it fit right the first try, and by the numbers, not even trying it on first! I would still recommend this product if you can get the size worked out before you order. If I could have, I would have then given it 5 stars! Darlene from PA

I previously owned the small, I find this product improves my posture and makes my figure beautiful and curvy under clothing. Per advice, I get one size smaller...it works for me. ;) A+ product! A. from Albuquerque, NM US
