Spanx Women's Thinstincts Targeted Open-bust Shapesuit Shaping Bodysuit

Purchased as a gift and it fit well but I did go one size up. It was worn under a bridesmaid dress and was comfortable enough to sit in and dance.

For the last 10+ years I have stayed away from spanx products as I remember them being bulky and tight, reminding me of a binding feeling corset like in the old movies. I discontinued use since I was told it was unhealthy to have that going on all day. This product is comfortably thin and does not have discomfort. I don't feel my inner organs are getting squished like they used to with older spanx products. Mindful of the previous reviews indicating the fabric tore easily, I was careful to put it on, which seemed wise, and worked fine. If you do that, you won't tear it. And If you are anywhere near the "edge" of the size chart, then definitely size UP to a larger size. You can't squeeze into these things successfully if they are too tight, but they will comfortably smooth out the waist, hips, and bottom bra line area, which is the whole idea of this product. They do make a worthwhile difference. Would have preferred slightly more cost effective, so I only got one each of beige and black. Will likely hand soak and rinse after wearing in order to preserve the newness and protect the fabric in the wash, or put them in a mesh laundry bag and only use delicate cycle.

Great bodysuit, keeps all trouble areas under control. However, I needed to order a size down. Size 10 (M) is rather loose for my regular 8/10 UK. Regardless, I decided to keep the item--for days when the weight tips the scale.

Comfortable and sleek. Fit very well.

Spanx saved me for my son's wedding. There was a bit of a struggle getting it on, but once it was in place, I could see that it was going to work out perfectly! I had an evening gown that was very form-fitting. I was worried that I wouldn't have a smooth look while walking down a 300+ foot aisle with lots of eyes gazing at me. I loved this open-bust wear because I could wear my own comfortable bra and it offered just the support I needed from just under my bra line, all the way down to my knees. I'm so happy there is an opening for going to the potty, if you know what I mean! I never felt hot or sticky on a warm 75 degree day and many guests gave me nice complements on my sleek look! The price is very reasonable compared to other long undergarments. I would surely purchase this again.
