I looked at the other reviews and thought that this would be just the thing.  Well it's not.  I'll keep it because it certainly flattens the heck out of you, and I have a dress for which I need exactly that.  However, it makes you an odd shape.  It's not that it's too small for me.  It sort of pushes you in towards the middle and I don't find it lifts, or at least, not what I consider a lift.  It's just not comfortable and I wear only minimizers so it's not that.  It's just wierd.
