MaidenformWomen's Shapewear Tummy Control Bodysuit, Built-In Bra Convertible to Strapless, Ultra Firm Shapewear Bodysuit

I looked every where for a convertible strapless shapewear and this was the only one that the cups supported my chest and didn't fall down like others. The cups are lightly lined, stayed up and supported well without the straps. I wore this as a bodysuit with slack and a jacket over and it looked great. As for the shapewear it is a gentle hold not as firm or tight as I wanted but it was comfortable to wear all day. Great for shorter torso, petite shaped women. I’m planning on buying the nude color to have available in my wardrobe.

I was originally going to give this product 4 stars, but felt that it was also fair to give it 5. I have worn it and washed it (in a garment bag and hung up to dry) several times. It appears well made with good workmanship. The hook and eye closure is nice, the stitching is neat. The material held up well to being washed. I purchased my bra size and it was a perfect fit. This bodysuit is designed to fit snuggly and smoothly over you, but not to flatten or really squeeze. So if that is what you want, I would not purchase this product for that one reason. What I really wanted was a tighter squeeze, but after searching for very long I have concluded that those come in a completely different price bracket and wanted to give this a try instead. For the price that I paid, it was a great deal actually - you get a bra, a camisole and a panty, basically, all stitched into one garment for under $30. That's pretty good. As far as bras go, it is a pretty decent one - good sizing and very nearly no show. Like, someone would have to actively stare at my breasts in a tight shirt on a really cold day to spot anything. So I feel confident in wearing it. One thing I don't like is the panty lines. I do think that there is no such thing as a no-show panty, unless it is a thong, but I just wanted to point out that this will definitely cause them in case you thought otherwise.

I am new at buying and wearing shapewear. I wore this model for 8 hours today. Overall it's comfortable. I did do quite some bending and moving around in it. The bottom portion has nice fabric, is breathable and snug. It holds in your tummy. The hook opening in the back for the bra portion certainly helps to put this garment on. However, I needed help getting it done as it is very strong and tight. I tried closing it on my own for 20 min. and did not succeed. It only minimally pinches where the thigh meets the bottom. The cup size is off. I am a 38D, ordered that size and this is definitely too big. There is room all around and definitely felt like I am not wearing a bra at all. The Brastraps do come off, which I like, but the angle they are in cuts into my front shoulder by the armpit. It would also be extremely helpful if the hooks between the legs would be flipped. The hooks that need to go in the loop, are on the flap coming from the back bottom. Not only can you barely reach between to reach that flap, but you can't see anything there either. It is difficult to close that way. If the hooks would be on the front flap portion and the loops on the back bottom portion, it would be so much easier.If I would have ordered a smaller size, it would have been too small overall. I ordered several different ones before and had to send them back. So I am going to deal with the bra being too big, as it is one of the first ones that actually otherwise fit and does the job.

Ordered this item in a (band) size larger than normal and usual cup size. Although all shapewear is usually snug, this garment is like an actual torture chamber to put on! The torso length would only fit a midget. I am 5'7" and after stepping into the garment, the cups came about up to my waist. I un-did the hooks at the bottom thinking I could buy an extender to lengthen the torso, and pulled the cups up to the proper position. The cups were the only thing that actually fit fine. I specifically ordered this garment because I needed a low backed strapless bra for a wedding dress but the set of about 8 hooks on the back was completely impossible to hook on your own, and even going up a size in the band, was about 6" too short. When I finally had my daughter do the hooks, the back of the garment was lumpy, bumpy, encouraged muffin top and exaggerated back fat. I could not wait to take it off and return. Epic fail.The only person I could see wearing this garment would be a stick-thin person with an extremely short torso. But why would you need this then? I would look elsewhere if you are over a size 6!
