I loved the item but the back was cut too low. My back fat just spilled out all over the place. Would have been perfect if the back were cut straight across or even higher to smooth out back fat.

Va Bien Response: May we suggest that you order one size larger? Normally the leotard back offers great back smoothing, although it does dip a bit in the center to accommodate most dress styles, which many customers like. Eloise from norman, oklahoma

Please make this in nude and with molded cups.

Va Bien Response: Thank you for your feedback. We actually had the same idea that you did and made a style similar years ago but it didn’t sell, we had to discontinue it. We will take your feedback into consideration though as we continue to try to come up with winning designs. ERW from Holland, Pa, USA

I love this bodyshaper. I bought the same one 15 years ago and wore it out so I had to replace it with a new one. It is very well made. This bodyshaper does everything a women needs it to do to make you feel awesome in a slim fitting outfit. It really pulls you in everywhere, especially the thighs and waist. I have a small pouch but this bodyshaper makes it look flat, which I love. I really wish they made this item in DDD's. I actually wear a DDD but have to get the DD's and wear a DDD bra underneath (a small inconvenience for a great fit this bodyshaper gives me). But I will buy it again in a heartbeat.

I really loved this product, it definitely does the job and is super comfortable. I just cannot seem to find the bra to fit, the cups seem to be much larger than my normal bra size. Debra from United States

The bra cups seem larger than the stated size, and there is an odd cloth "rim" around the cup. As other reviewers have stated, the cups are also pointy. The garment is otherwise quite comfortable and does a nice (but not extreme) job of smoothing out the bulges.

Vabien Response: This style does not have underwire cups, which poses a design challenge to lift and shape the bust in a full figure garment. That cotton ring around the cup that you noticed is a sling to help achieve this. Cups without underwires will never provide the same bust shaping and support as underwire cups – but some women prefer them because of the extra comfort. t from oklahoma

It's the greatest! I've worn this garment for over 10 years and am still very satisfied with it. I was so glad to find it online as it is no longer available thru other sources. I will continue to order this product. Susanne from Midway TN USA

Once I managed to get this on, it look nice under my jersey wedding dress. Holds me together nicely, just a little jiggly up top, but no big deal. I needed the lower back for my dress and it lines up nicely. Marcia from Walled Lake, MI, USA

The garment would have been perfect if the hook & eye closure in the crotch extended down the legs. If you wear panties with a Poise pad for incontinence, you would have to take the garment completely off. They need to make the snaps down the leg area as well.

HerRoom Response: We have sent this to Va Bien and they have made a note of this for future reference. Karen from Chicago
