I gave it two stars because it looks pretty on a hanger. First of all, it is too small in the elastic waist to get it past ample hips. It has now been tried on by three different sized waist and hipped women from a 14 to an 18 and looked awful on the two that got it past their hips.

Where the lace inserts attach to the flimsy fabric it causes a "poufy" or "blousy" look right at the stomach because the strip is placed right below the hips. The stomach is where most women do not want to appear bigger than they are. The lace strips are also completely see-through even with the very skimpy underskirt lining, we could see panties.

I'll be returning it unless I find a friend a size 12 or under who might like it.
