This is a great item for anyone wanting an hourglass waist.  I purchased this item after having lipo of my midsection.  I needed a garment that would come down far enough to compress my lower belly and this item is perfect.  I will wear this item after I heal from my surgery.  I love the fact that the item ran true to size on the size chart, it is comfortable to wear and the black looks sexy enough that if anyone should see your squeem it looks like a corset!  I am going to purchase the squeem vest next and have recommended this garment to several friends.
