This shaper is going to do exactly what you want it to do. I was amazed at how well it pulled everything in. It is shapewear so of course, there's a struggle to get into it, but once I had this on, I knew I made a good choice. The shaper absolutely flattened and smoothed my tummy. One thing that really impressed me was that it didn't roll down like so many other shapers do. It stayed in place and was the perfect length to wear a dress or skirt without it showing.
