I have prchased two of these shapers from tv and really liked them. Although sizing is tricky I had good luck. Now over a year later they are stretching out from washing and wearing. This one I purchased online doesn't seem to be as thick a fabric as the others. Therefore, I don't feel it smooths me as well as the others do. I really do like them for minimizing "muffin top". Also, a bit warm in summer.
