Pros: This is a fairly constricting slip, and it does a good job of smoothing out any bumps or panty lines. The straps are removable and don't dig into your shoulders. It stays in place fairly well without the straps. The bra isn't padded, but it has a thick lining. It does not have the crotch gusset that some other slips have, which I think is a plus, though I know some people like those.

Cons: It's really hard to get on. There's no fastenings of any kind; no bra-style back clasp or even a slit in the skirt. So it's a very smooth silhouette, but if you're not flexible, you may need assistance getting it on and off. The material is not very breathable, so it may get a bit sweaty if you're wearing it somewhere hot. The underwire digs in a bit under the arms.

Fit: I have this slip in a medium, and it fits me well. I usually wear a size 4 or 6 in jeans and a 34B bra. The built-in bra fits me perfectly, but anyone with more up top may need to get a larger size. I'm 5'6" and it comes to mid-thigh on me.

Overall, I like this piece, but will only wear it for special occasions. It's relatively comfortable once it's on, but the hassle of dressing and undressing probably isn't worth it unless you need a really smooth look, like for a clingy knit dress.
