Not at all impressed especially for this price. It does not give much support, it also runs larger.  I ended up ordered another girdle from JCP.com for a few $$ more and really does the job.  I am a curvaceous woman and I wear a spanks to hold and keep things in their place.  This is just a shaper and its lightweight.  It is comfortable and gives the body a smoother look but it doesnt necessarily Hold.  So if you are looking for a shaper that provides firm support this is not for you.  However if you are just in need of a lightweight, body smoothing shaper this maybe what you're looking for.
