OK. I cannot SUGARQUOTE you, being completely honest about this item here ladies. If your shape is anything like mine then you could use a little help in the hip, backside area, & waist as well. I FOUND THE HELP! This is like the instant hourglass shaper. I am not saying put this on & you will have a perfect hourglass shape but I am saying put this on & your shape will look more like an hourglass rather than a square block or some other shape we would happily trade out 4 another. I wear mine 1 size smaller. IE: I am a 18/20 & the 2x fits GREAT(SUCKS IN COMFORTABLY)-3x too big This BLESSING is so easy to put on-NOTHING LIKE FIGHTING WITH A GIRDLE- step right into the leg rings(butt lifters-similar to a garter belt) & pull it up, like putting on overalls. You can wear the shoulder straps or detach them. I like them detached b/c it doesn't roll down w/o them.😍 Once on you fasten the corset hooks then zip it up & BAM you now have hip & waist definition, turn around & look back@ the butt you never knew you had XL-12/14 XXL-14/16 XXXL-18/20 XXXXL-20/22 5X-6X- 22-24
