It's really hard to connect all the little hooks and eyes, but once it's on, its wonderful. I wear it almost all the time now. My bf loves it. Karen from Atlanta, Georgia

People were not kidding when they said go two sizes smaller. I had a hard time believing it since I've been accustomed to purchasing such items from a box store and let's face it their sizing it tricky to say the least. Anyway, I strongly encourage anyone looking at this garment to get it 2 sizes smaller you'll be glad you did! Jaimie from Tilton, NH

It was worth the cost because I got it on sale - there is certainly an improvement in shape, from both front and side views, but it isn't as helpful as I expected. There's no way $40 plus shipping would be worth it! I am 5'5", my measurements (in inches) are 33-27-36, and I ordered a small, which has a 26" waist. It wasn't uncomfortable, nor difficult to put on - however, I think it would be a better fit on someone with a slightly longer torso than I have. For example, sitting was mildly irritating because no matter how straight I sat, there would be some poking or unsightly "rolling" of the plastic bones across my tummy. The top of the garment, which includes the ends of the plastic bones, would ride at the bottom of my bra if I wore the waist where it should be (just below the ribcage). In addition, the plastic bones end at the bottom before the garment does - that is, there is a bit of fabric that can turn up on itself if not covered by something that will keep it in place as you move. Another thing - while this is good for reminding you to have good posture, moving in it is a pain! If you bend in the slightest way, at least one of the plastic bones will end up bending uncomfortably with you. The plastic boning and hook-and-eye front busk can be viewed through close-fitting, stretchy fabrics, but I expect they will go unnoticed beneath fabrics with more thickness or texture. Keep in mind that this garment is meant to shape the waist, and won't extend to give shape to the hips. Overall, it's a decent piece of shapewear that will keep your tummy flat and your waist pleasantly curved - just don't expect miracles!

Rago Response: We’re sorry for your discomfort. Judging from your description you might have been better off with a medium garment. The flexible metal boning is designed to contour the body. If you felt poking the garment was definitely too tight. Overall we do appreciate your honest and kind words about our product. Spry from California

Well-proportioned for a long torso. Seems well-made. DLH

I'm very short-waisted and found the item to be a little long for me ( which I expected since so many things are)..I wear a size 12 petite and the XL fits comfortably-could possibly be a bit more snug since I wear this mainly as back support. Even tho it's long, it does not poke into my upper thigh or pinch under my bra. There's a small bulge where the stays end at the bottom so if I were wearing it under a smooth dress it might show. All in all a decent product. mtk from Dearborn MI

I loved this item. It came the very next day despite the fact that I just selected regular shipping. This is my first order and I love their selection of products. I will definitely be ordering from this company again and have suggested it to any of my friends who are interested in one. Elizabeth

I heard abt this clincher through my best friend. I wasn't sure which size to get. I used to be a 14 an now I wear btw a size 4 and 6. I bought both the medium and the large and the medium fits perfectly. Sucks everything in, doesn't suffocate me the way I thought it would and theres no muffin top or anything. I Wear it under tight party dresses and it makes my tummy so flat! Roslyn from Weston, fl, USA

I have found this waist nipper to be quite comfortable. It feels snug when I first put it on, but I barely notice it while I'm wearing it. I feel supported, but not constricted. I order a small since I have a 26" waist, and the nipper took just 1" off my waist. I have had a few minor issues, most of which I believe can be attributed to being short at 5'1". I have noticed that the elastic below the boning will sometimes ride up (it falls rather low on my behind). This is not uncomfortable, but can be visible under tighter or clingy clothes. Also, the nipper can ride up sometimes and dig uncomfortably into my chest. It's too bad there is not a smaller size. Shannon from Houston

It looked like a really nice item. Unfortunately, it was too large. This item runs a little big, I would advise buying a size smaller then you need. Jeanne from Port Charlotte FL USA

It seems like a wonderful garment. I bought it for a friend, and decided to purchase one for myself. It seems very well made, and looks like it would work well. She got something for herself, so she didn't try it on, but it looks very comfortable. Come back when I receive mine and I'll let you know. Jeanne from Port Charlotte FL USA

This waist nipper is fantastic. Putting it on is like visually losing ten pounds. It's way more comfortable than I thought it would be, too - I can tell it's there, but it's not constricting. And, added bonus: I sit up straighter when I'm wearing it, so it's good for my posture as well as my waistline. Jessica from Portland, OR, USA

Aside from the difficulty of fastening the many eye-and-hook fastenings on this corset, it's the best product I've ever found for its purpose. I had a tiny waist before two pregnancies separated my stomach muscles. This gives a great shape. It lets me relive my past AND perform stomach exercises safely that I otherwise could not. It's pretty invisible under clothing. A great find. (And though it's tricky to put on the first dozen times, it's much easier to take off than something like a girdle. No struggling there.)

A little too big but nice.

Rago Response: If you feel the garment is too big try one size smaller. Thank you for complimenting our product. Michelle from cleveland,ohio usa

WOW - what a great piece...gives me just an extra touch of support and firmness for when I wear closer fitting clothes.....also a great support for the back - reminds you to have good posture which is always a good thing! I'd highly recommend this item. TKR from OH, USA

I found this item, out of stock, at a different website but I just couldn't wait. So I searched it online by it's manufacturer information and found it on this site, for less. (Yay!) This corset is comfortable enough for everyday wear (I'm wearing it right now), and the manufacturing quality is excellent. I'm a big girl (on top, on bottom and in the middle) but this whittles my shape just perfectly. Instead of feeling and looking thick and frumpy, I have a "pinup girl" figure! I'm totally sold on Rago now and especially on HerRoom.com to find it! Stella from North Hollywood, Ca

I didn't want to invest in a long line, as bras are always tricky to fit, so this was a good Plan B for my vintage dresses. Overall, I'm quite happy with my decision I recommend ordering based on the size chart's measurements (not dress size). I have a 28" waist, usually wear about a size 4 or 6, and the medium fits perfectly. Ellie from VA

I'm 5'4ish, 160lbs and my measurements are 38-30-40. I ordered the medium and it was too small. It folded in the middle and gave me a muffin top at the shoulders, but the quality of the product was good. I gave the medium to a friend who is smaller than I am, and ordered a large for myself.
