This is very attractive and pretty effective at smoothing me out and taking care of the middle and tummy weight so I look better in some of my clothes. The hook and eyes closure shows through some of my knits but overall I recommend this item. Kim from Madison,WI

This shaper is very comfortable. It is adjustable with three rows of hook and eyes. At it's tight setting it really holds you in. In black it is also very nice looking. Karen from king mtn nc

Though it states firm control, it bulged at the tummy.

Teri Casablanca Response: If there is bulging, you might need a smaller size so it fits more snugly. Marilynn from Ada Oklahoma

Not what I expected; the tabs balloon out when sitting; to remedy this, I am going to pull these out by making a small slit with a razor blade and use my machine and sew up the front to get rid of the hooks and to keep this from riding up when sitting, I will put the ends inside of my underwear. I am hoping this will work.

Teri Casablanca Response: If the boning is showing through your clothing, I would suggest a smaller size so it will stay fitted against your body. Tiffany from Inglewood, CA, USA

This is by far the best shaper that I have ever worn! Very little rolling...supports the muscles in front which helps the back ! Love the front fasteners and adjustable straps..I'm sold and will be buying another! lisa from bourbon mo united states

I was attracted to this tummy smoother initially because of it's somewhat vintage look and my need for improving my posture after long days at work. I find it to be quite comfortable even after wearing all day. Not only does it provide good support for my back, but it also provides nice support for my breast. I like the eye hook closure down center and the jacquard lace fabric, but I have found that the eye hooks closure shows through a bit on some of my blouses and dresses. However, this is much less noticeable if you wear a camisole. Gwen from NC

I purchased this smoother as a back support for long days on my feet. It is discreet under clothing and provides a good amount of support without restricting movement. My back fatigue is no more! Maureena from Chicago, Illinois, USA

I like the color, but the black seems to be more firmer than the nude one.....although they are the same the black seems to support my back better.......I am hoping that you will eventually have this in white.

Teri Response:There should be no difference between the black or nude. They are made of the same exact fabric and were made on the same spec. Teri will consider adding white. sheryl from seat pleasant, md

I love this item, just wish it would come in white. I love the support for the breast, back area and how it make you look so smooth. This item has helped me with my weight lost and I was on the last row of eyelets, and now I am on the second row. I have the black and nude but I had to reorder because this item came to me damaged at the adjustment tab for the strap, it was mangled and I could not adjust so this one will be returned, but I have received another one.......I really love this item....

Very comfortable and helps posture. Smooths it all out and it doesn't roll up the tummy. it creases a bit in the back at my waist line but isn't noticeable and I just feel it there. LostInWA from WA
