Rago High Waist Open Bottom Girdle with Zipper 1294

Bought this girdle for more control as I changed to support stockings. I have worn Rago open girdles for many years. 3x has never been a problem with fit - wearing a 3x with 4 garters is perfect. Jill from New York State

This is a fine girdle that provides me with support and the ability to hold hosiery up. The booming and zipper are so well designed. The front panel lace chevron design reminds me of a girdle that I wore daily for years back into the 60's. A pleasure to wear with a long line brassiere. JPM from Denver, Colorado

Very disappointed, it seems Rago has changed their sizing since my previous purchase of this item and it did not fit. Fiona from

This is a very comfortable girdle. I wear it almost daily and it does a wonderful job of helping me keep my figure while being comfortable. I do like the garters as I prefer to wear stockings when wearing a dress or skirt. Tina from Fairfax, VA

This is simply the best high waist OBG you can buy. It's comfortable, cool and smooths out your bulges. It can be a bit much if you're sitting for a long time. And in the bedroom, it's a bit of fetishy naughtiness. Brenda from Niagara Falls, NY

I'm a huge fan of Rago shapewear and choose it whenever I need shapewear that will actually work (IE, enhance my shape, suck me in, and not just smooth me out) I choose this brand. This girdle is LIFE CHANGING. It was a bit hard to put on by myself the first time I tried it on, but after that it was easy and so COMFORTABLE! Just buy it. I could have sized down, though.

I wear a lot of vintage clothing and dress people in vintage looks for performances. Women typically come to me wearing Spanx to control their little figure inconsistencies. The problem is that Spanx just smooth. They don't have any control. So you have lumps just in different places. As a costume historian, I am familiar with Rago because they've been making girdles since 1945. The 1294 girdle is a classic updated with lycra and bendable boning to make it more comfortable. It may look like your gandma's torture device, but it is THE BEST. It is comfortable (I can dance a tango in mine and I don't dance a calm tango). It breathes. And it smooths my middle-aged flub so my vintage clothes fit perfectly. Not bad back support either. When I got mine, I was really worried it was too small. But it just takes a minute to wiggle into. Praise Rago for the genius idea of putting hooks along the zipper so you don't need two friends to help you zip it up. It's definitely worth the struggle. And they run pretty true to size. Great buy. I have five of them. Kass from Harrisburg, PA USA

I first ordered this in 4X based on measurements. If you have more of a tummy like I do order size smaller. Brandi from Madison, MS

One of the last real vintage style Girdle's still being made. I wear it daily. If anything, it comes up a tad small but stretches enough for all day wear. Having 6 garters helps for the stockings. Royalco from CA

This fit wonderfully. It's just the right length, and even with the zipper and attached stocking clips, they didn't show through the fabric of my dress. It took a bit to wiggle into it, but it "stretched" out throughout the evening and was comfortable and breathable. Amy from Richmond, VA
