I saw some reviewers complain that this was not very supportive, but I found it supportive enough that it made me look "all bump" without being too uncomfortably restrictive.  When you are pregnant, you want support but you don't want to be so squeezed in that it's uncomfortable!  I wore it under my maternity dress for my baby shower and a few times after that.  It held up well even after going through regular wash/dryer and didn't develop any runs in it unlike the Target Assets brand does. Yes, it is a little pricey, but it did what it claimed to do for me.
