This definitely sized me down about one full sz & that feels great! Did not however offer enough support in my abdomen area. I don't hv a large abdomen, just had 3 babies & hv a lot of looseness going on there so wouldve liked more compression there. It is a great butt lifter though lol & good compression for the upper thighs especially. Did give me that sausage leg at the bottom though. These came down to about 2 inches above my knees if that helps . Im 54 & about 148 with long legs, very short waisted so these came up especially high on me, in fact I can tuck under my bra which is just fine for me. They work just fine for me!
