Rago Body Briefer 9051 Reviews

It did not provide the control in the tummy/waist area that I require. Thomasine from San Diego, Ca, USA

This briefer fit perfectly and does indeed offer excellent firm control of tummy and hip areas, but it places your chest very wide rather than keeping your bosom tucked nicely within the line of your ribcage. I don't find this look flattering thus I returned the briefer, but others may find it to be perfect. To each her own. Anonaliss from USA

*Cute as a button.* Absolutely only suitable for someone about 5'5 or 5'6" or there will be fitting issues. Bras are not one size fits all- VERY retro pointy cup shape which I adore but just be aware of this; I'm going to have to doctor (alter) mine quite a bit to make it work but it's cute as can be. And it actually shapes you, too, it doesn't just look adorable. I prefer this style with the lace motif over the main stretch fabric being solid- get the allover lace if you can as it is much cuter.

First, I love the body part so I order two more. but after some thinking, I decided it is not health to torture my breast area like that so have to return. Too bad, I love the tight feeling of the body. Please inform me when Rago offer a 36DDD or change the cup size jj from usa

I fell flat on my back in a fast food restaurant and I think it saved me from breaking some bones as I fell really hard. This garment makes it much easier for me to get around, keeps my posture so I do NOT slouch so much. It gives really firm support, but I also wear a panty girdle under it. It makes a great brace for my back. I am very happy with this item. Thank you. Donna

No fiberfill in the cups and material has no give at all.

Rago Response:You could have received a defective product. This style has a thin layer of fiberfill. The constructed cup does not have stretch like a molded cup. This is a feature of fit and is more intricate to the garments support. However, every breast is not the same, as to tissue density and shape. We regret that this style did not match your needs. Thank you for your comments. Anita from Murfreesboro, Tn U.S.

The quality of material and workmanship is excellent. It just runs very small in the cup size. DrSLD from Danville, CA

I am so pleased with my order. I have looked everywhere for a girdle like the one that I ordered from your company. I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank You, Constance from Pittsgurgh

So I read the reviews before I ordered this product. I ordered this product specifically for my wedding dress. The fit of the garment was extremely hard. I think I will try washing it then trying it before I give up. It is hard with a 1 piece because my hips are a lil wider than my top. I know that my bra size is 44C so with the read comments I got a 46C. The top part was so tight that it actually gave me a rash. Maybe if I ordered it like 3 sizes bigger than me it would be a good product.

Rago Response: Body shapes vary and with this extra firm garment you may need to try a two piece that comes together once on, try the Rago 6207 high waist bottom and Rago 2202 long line bra. Stephanie from salt lake city utah

I have been wearing briefs for over 30 years and was excited to find your garment online. This garment was well made, but sized extremely small. I tried it on my niece who is a 36 and it was too tight for her as well which made it impossible for me to determine what size I actually would need. So regretfully returned the two I had ordered.

Rago Response: It is a firm control cut and different body masses might require the next size up. Once again it is an extra firm product. Margaret from Cape Canaveral, FL USA

Much more comfortable than the other shapers. The one thing I don't like is that until it has been washed a few times, it makes the breasts look like they have a pointy tip. I'm not Madonna and really don't want that look. :) Fortunately it went away after washing it three times. Kathy from Midwest

This is second size I had to return. Size 42C was too large in cup. Next size down was too small all around. Having had a left-breast mastectomy, finding a body shaper to fit has been next to impossible. Yvette from Tracy, California

The only draw back I found with this item was the seam across the bust in the bra. It shows through so it's hard to wear any tighter fitting tops unless you have several layers. But I have been extremely happy with this item other than that. Amy from Utah, USA

The bottom half was a good fit and held me in the way I like my body briefer to fit however the cup size could not possibly be true to size. I am a true DD and have had no problem with other brands in the cup area. I was very disappointed because I was looking forward to getting a briefer that gave good support all over. I have to send it back because it has absolutely no give to it at all, no elasticity. It may work for someone who is smaller up top than I.

Rago Response: We are so sorry this did not work for you. One piece garments are generally a difficult fit. Kimberley from Oxford/NC/USA

Us slender gals need extra firm support garments more than the more amply endowed as we have "less to move around to the right places". This garment dramatically increased the perkiness and measurements of my breasts, sucked in my waist and flattered my "snake hips". It also improved my posture and sense of poise. It is also comfortable to wear all day and I recommend it to anyone who is "asset impoverished". I would like to see a version with more midrift control and a front zipper to really accent what we do not have. K. K. from St. Louis

I ordered this in both 34DD and 36DD and while I'm normally 34DD, the larger size fit better in the cups. Neither was particularly comfortable, but then what do you expect from something that holds you in like this number does?! The problem for me was the show-through from the lace and the lack of underwires in the bra. I keep trying to find something that feels right without underwires and haven't yet. For those who want GREAT shaping and to look as if they've lost 10 pounds, and can go without underwires, this would do the trick. Lee from Irwinton, GA

I am slender and with less to move to the right places so the firmness of this garment is perfect. Before wearing it, my waist was 37 and now it is 34. My band was 36 and now it is 34. My breast was 36 and now it is 40. Those nice pointed cups really help those of us with less and look so perky and the sizing is perfect. I also love the way it helps improve my posture. K. from MO

Sizing is difficult to manage on the first try. I can't really rate this as it was too small. I fit a 7X-8X in Rago but this (the largest band width offered) was no where near those sizes. The 48B would probably fit a size 18-22. I wish they would size them differently according to their girdle sizing. It is a lovely garment and has all the attributes of their girdles.

I like it a lot and feel sexy in an old school way wearing this! I wish it came a little more petite as torso is a little long for me and also would prefer underwire (I wear a bra underneath it). but definitely recommend it... and i rarely wear shapewear! Leigh from San Diego

Provides great amount of support and smoothes out the fat rolls. Took inches off my tummy. Yet is still comfortable. Marie

What a fantastic undergarment! It's important to have the best to make you look more shapely and girls...this does the trick! Highly recommended! T from Everett/WA/USA

It really does give you great back support and sucks you in and gives you a GREAT hourglass figure. I got a bra size I though I could squeeze into b/c they don't offer 36DDD. The cup sizes are a bit small so you might want to go up one but other than that....FANTASTIC! Meagan from Denton/TX/USA

I didn't care for this all-over shapewear because the cups were not true to size. It fit more like a regular D cup instead of a DD, therefore; I am in process of returing this item. Cassandra from Atlanta, GA

I was absolutely thrilled with my purchase of 3 Rago body briefers! Once I get it on, I feel like I look like I have lost 20 to 30 lbs. but I have NOT! I feel it was money well spent even though it was a big sacrifice to spend so much! Most of my clothes come from the thrift store but this item makes me feel "good about myself" and this is very important! My only possible complaint might be that it could do with a little more room in the bra part! Your company was a pleasure to do business with! Thank you! Donna from Palm Bay, FL

Rago 9051 - Thank you so much for your prompt service! I have a herniated disc in my low back, plus a dropped bladder! This garment is the most comfortable foundation garment that I've ever worn! Once in it, it is like a 2nd skin, so comfortable that I don't have to wear a bra under it! My skin can breathe so it doesn't make me itch after I take it off! I live in the south now and it is not nearly as hot to wear as the other ones that I've worn! My granddaughter bought my 1st one at a specialty bra shop and I went online and found it at your site! It forces me to stand up straight even with rotten posture which is great taking a lot of pressure off my back! Thank you so much! Donna from Palm Bay, FL 32905

I love the briefer. It is the one I prefer to wear. It holds me and I would recommend it to all women. The comfort fit is great. Charlotte from Clarksville, TN.

Ok, I'll admit to wearing a girdle on occasions. This really flattens the tummy in ways no "shaper" really can. My husband like that it has detachable garters so I can wear stockings with it. Wouldn't try to wear it everyday, but for events it's great. I recommend you wear it some BEFORE the event some to get used to it. Submitted from TheUndies.com
