It's hard trying to determine what size shapewear to get; and REALLY hard to find something online. I got a medium because that is what my other shapewear is. I have bad shoulders and I found that trying to stretch it large enough to pull over my head/chest was downright painful. Then it was stuck in a roll right beneath my arms. I gave it two stars because I was eventually able to put it on and it squeezes everything like it should. Perhaps, one day, when I lose more weight I'll be able to put it on without hurting my shoulders; but until then, it'll live in a heap on the floor in the back of my closet.
