Slip into that skinny, clingy dress and look your good with the supreme holding power of Maidenform’s Ultra Firm Body Shaper. Its magic is how it holds, controls, and shapes without squeezing, pinching, or binding. Ultra-firm panels target your tummy and hips while the built-up back smooths and holds for allover sculpting. And because it’s made with Maidenform’s power mesh lining and moisture-wicking CoolComfort fabric, you’ll feel oh-so comfortable while looking oh-so lovely. The built-in underwire bra with three-section cups is unlined and trimmed in lace that’s so pretty you might let it peek out from a low-cut neckline. Other convenient details you’ll appreciate include a hook-and-eye-close, cotton-lined gusset, adjustable lingerie straps, and full back coverage.

Fits great
Fits great all over. Very comfortable. Looks great. Only wish it would give little more belly support. But please don’t change the bra fitting it fits great. First time an item like this fits true to bra size 34DD and fits on the bottom. Very comfortable! I bought two black and tan.

I needed to lose 10 pounds, this does the trick
I need to get into a cocktail dress to wear to my granddaughters wedding, I certainly didn’t want to have to buy a new one, but it was too snug as I had not worn it in over 20 years. I did lose a little, but this tightened me up a little and the dress looked fine.

GET YOURS NOW!!
I have bought a few pairs of these over the years and I will keep buying them because of how amazing they are. First of all – I HATE wearing bras. DESPISE THEM. Can’t stand the feeling of having them on and they create back and side bulges where my bra ends and my pants begin. Enter this amazing body briefer. It’s an all-in-one bra and shapewear that is comfy to wear!! There are no wires on the sides to pinch or create any bumps, the support comes from the underwire of the cups which is amazing. I chose my bra size (42DD) and it fits me perfect. The hook-and-eye crotch closure also comes off and hooks back up easily for the bathroom. I wear these everyday under my outfits to the office and everyone thinks I have been losing weight! NOPE, just really good shapewear LOL get yours already!!

It’s okay- wouldn’t recommend.
I’m not impressed. The wires in the bra poke at you. The hooks are really not in a place to easily do and undo. They should be a bit more forward and higher. The bra was a bit bumpy under form fitting shirts. I will return the unopened one and likely never again wear the one I tried. Had high hopes for this given the name but blah. Guess you get what you pay for. It was a good attempt. Don’t waste your $ unless quality is not a priority.

Couldn’t have been better !!
Very flattering and supportive every where. Only part is hook in the crotch area, isn’t a negative, just an observation. The lace isn’t itchy at all. Under wire has held up for more than three wears. Great purchase for the price point. If there was more stretch, the compact feeling might not be there so if you don’t like things to feel tight, maybe this is not for you. I like the way this smoothed my stomach area and supported my chest.

Bra size not an indicator of fit
I was hoping to get a little bit of smoothing in the tummy area, and loved the idea of a bra built in. The hook closure at the bottom seemed like a bonus and the color and style were very nice. All that being said, I ordered my normal bra size, as the guide said, and I must be the strangest shaped person ever. I was not able to get this on in any way. Not over my head, not from the feet! Just looking at it, it looks very small and tight. It was probably about a third of the size I would need. It is really too bad, because it was very sexy looking and if it had fit, I would have loved it. Sadly, had to return.

Everything by this company is exceptional.
I purchased this for my Sister. I’m the kind of woman who likes to look great in cloths, by having good foundations you can achieve it. My Sis has a lot of back fat, I asked her to try this on and now she’s sold on wearing proper foundations. This practically eliminated her back fat! Her chest looks better and so does her back. She says she feels “supported” wearing this garment. I’m really happy because I wear a Bali undergarment all the time because I cannot stand wearing regular bras. I like the lacy types (lace & smooth) but I bought this for her because she needs more of a “powerhouse” garment. This is very much that type of garment. It sucks you in, and holds you up. If you want to look good in clothes, and diminish back fat. Try this one. It’s a tad bit on the tighter side. She looks like the model in the picture. Except better now. 5’10 weighs 220 40dd bust waist 37. Hips 43.

Uncomfortable
I bought this and one other brand – this one went back. Very uncomfortable but typical of what I’ve owned in the past. Didn’t seem to do much as far as smoothing out my back. I wear size 16W clothing and had purchased an XL dress but wanted to smooth out my back area. This didn’t do the trick.

Not a shaper but good under garment
I didn’t feel like it shaped me but it is a nice under garment. At first I thought it was really comfortable but then I started noticing the underwire hurting on one side and I only had it on less than 5 minutes.

You deserve better
I ordered this to wear under a dress to my friend’s bridal shower, which was a nice/chill lunch.At first the bodysuit was great – I followed the size cbart & reviews to select my size and it seemed like it fit well without being too tight. I was happy enough with it considering the cost.Flash forward to about an hour into the shower and the thing is going up my crotch like it’s hunting for something up there – and it hurts. Like I am in PAIN. I had to make several trips to the bathroom to adjust myself/pull it down.What’s worse is that, despite being a luncheon where I really didn’t do anything besides sit in a chair, the outer hooks of the bodysuit kept coming undone! The middle hook-and-eye clasp was really struggling to keep everything together.Needless to say I threw the bodysuit away when I got home. Such a disappointment.Spring for something better quality like skims, spanx, honeylove, etc or hit your local TJ Maxx/Nordstrom rack/whatever to scope out a deal in person because this is absolutely NOT it.

Best shapewear EVER
Y’all if you need shapewear and a bra in one THIS IS IT – i only wear unlined bras so this was perfect – definitely a little tight getting on but once it was on – my body looked so good I could cry – this made me feel so much better about my body and I am definitely going to get it in nude as well. For reference I am 5’1” about 155 lbs and I wear a 36DD in most brands for a bra – don’t contemplate – JUST DO IT – you’ll thank me later.

VERY SHORT TORSO
I’m normally a 38DDD so ordered the 40dd. I’m only 5’4, not tall, and this was pretty short. Even with straps adjusted open as far as they could go, it was riding up. A tall person this would not work for.It’s not very comfortable either. Not their best product.

Sure helped smooth out my bumps and lumps : )
I bought this to wear under a dress that need some smoothing because it was a snug fit. The sizing was perfect based on my bra size. It was easy to put on and take off. My dress fit so much better and I felt a lot more confident. I recommend this Shapewear. I had ordered many different brands because I wasn’t sure which would fit best and this was the one I kept. I have worn it since the event and still recommend. Give it a try!

Sexy and comfortable
The product is sized right. I normally wear a 36DDD bra, but I cannot wear a 38DD in a one piece (which is because the 38DD cup fits me slightly better than 36DD cup) as my breast seems to fall beneath the cups, making it uncomfortable. I ordered this in 36DD and it fits my rib cage better, but it’s a bit snug in the cups, with some overflow. I cannot seem to find my actual size of 36DDD in a one piece from any manufacturer. I am a 5’2″, weigh 135#

Comfortable but needs some push-up
I liked the ease of putting it on, the comfort when wearing it, and the ability of a one piece to eliminate the appearance of rolls. If it had some push up padding in the bra area, I would have given it 5 stars.

Cannot be worn as a top
Overall it was fine but based on reviews I thought I could wear this as a top which is what I was looking for but there’s no way- the solid fabric doesn’t cover nearly enough so my nips are totally out in the lace part. butt and leg area also flatten me too much and make weird lines/rolls at the thigh so I wouldn’t wear it as just shapewear either.

I wanted a body shaper to make me look better and feel better wearing some of the beautiful clothes …
“I used to be a regular at the gym, but I’ve been busy lately, and have slacked off going”–sound familiar? Yeah anyway, I wanted a body shaper to make me look better and feel better wearing some of the beautiful clothes (that may run a bit small, but I reallyreallyreally want to keep!) that I’ve bought on Amazon. I hesitated to buy a body shaper because I was afraid it would bind/cut/ride up, and just make me miserable while I was wearing it, basically defeating the whole point of buying/wearing it, but I went ahead and bought this one. This one is a DREAM!! It fit perfectly, no binding/cutting/riding up, yet it still provides firm and smoothing control. I wore it last night for the first time to a work-related event. One of my colleagues whom I hadn’t seen in a couple of weeks asked me if I’d lost 20 pounds…worth every single cent that I paid for this item (I still need to get my butt back to the gym, though)! I ordered according to my regular bra size, and the whole garment fit me like a very comfortable glove, I LOVE IT! 😀

Lace is fragile
I always wear a body shaper and have numerous brands. This is my husbands favorite for me to wear because he likes lace. These garments are generally not meant to go in dryer, so I always separate them out before drying and hang in my closet to dry. Occassionally, they end up in dryer and the lace begins to deteriorate. But I love them.

I could wear it for about 6 hours.
The straps are a little sharp … hopefully softens in the wash. I think the hooks at the crotch are placed more up front than they used to be. That’s a good thing… still think they should be just below the pelvic line. I was able to wear it 6 hours … longer than a playtex regular bra I also ordered which left abrasions from the hardware.I rate it 4 stars as it makes the body look good. Of course I’m not showing a picture!Runs a little small. Order up a little.

Buy it!
Good price for a decent product!I am 5’6 & 205lb, holding more weight in my tummy area, 36 DD bra size. I originally purchased the 36 DD size and I could get it on with some effort but it was not exactly comfortable. I know I was bloated from my period and I am currently working on losing weight so I did not return it, it should be comfortable if I lose about 5-10lbs. I purchased the 38 DD for in the meantime and it fit perfectly! I found it was easier to pull on over my head and shimmy in but once it’s on it is comfortable! I felt like it sucked me in without impairing my ability to breath or bend, I was able to sit comfortably in the car and it provided good support for my chest. I liked that it didn’t feel like granny shape wear. Bonus points for attractiveness- my husband is a BIG fan. I would purchase again, in more colors 🙂

It works
I needed something for a one time use, so I didn’t want to spend a lot of money. This is actually comfortable and it help tighten. I found it doubles as a bra, some reviews said you still need a bra, I did not (D cup)

Flattering, does the job!
I was pleasantly surprised by this shapewear’s fabric – it has just the right amount of give without being overly stretchy. This balance ensures a comfortable fit while still providing the firm hold and flattering shape I was looking for. A great addition to my wardrobe!

Once you get it on, it’s ok.
I am new at buying and wearing shapewear. I tried putting this on and it was quite difficult. Stepping into it left me stuck over my bottom and hips. So tried over the shoulder, but I got stuck there as well. With a lot of jumping and chiming, I finally got it pulled on without ripping it. The bra part is not padded or lined, but it does fit. The lace insert adds a nice touch. It does do its job of holding you in and when trying it on did not seem too tight overall, or pinching anywhere. But I haven’t worn it yet for a longer period of time. So I will see that then. It would 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. Despite the fact that it was difficult to put on, I will keep it as it does what it’s supposed to do, and getting it off seemed easier. I don’t think a bigger size would have worked as one orders by cup size and I am not sure how that affects the overall size of the garment. But the cup would have been still to big then. I am 5.7 tall, 185 pounds, 38D.

Sizing
This was not at all the fit that the online size guide showed. When I pulled the item out of the box, it had a card with the entire body size grid, which wasn’t available at the time of order. I ordered the correct top size but it felt like it was an entire size smaller. Order up. Grrrrr

Fits well, shapes well, an actually beautiful body suit
I was desperate to find shapewear that wasn’t a thong and wasn’t going to put me out nearly $100, I am so impressed with this brand and this particular bodysuit. It’s gorgeous and durable, a joy to wear and does its job well! Worth it! Bought it in both brown and black!

Loved everything except the awful panty line.
I really almost loved this piece. I had to size up to get it over my hips. (I’m 5’10, 190lbs). From the front it’s gorgeous. Snatched everything in. Unfortunately it created an ungodly panty line that cut my butt cheeks in two.If you aren’t curvy on bottom it might work. That’s why I still gave 4 stars.

Works…sort of
Nice option for shapeware with a built in bra. Hard to find one with cup size for those of us who need it. I don’t understand the one size fits all mentality of manufacturers. This item, pretty nice, but the sizing is off. I wear a 34 but the 36 is closer to my size. Also, the cups are at least one (but more likely two) size too small. I finally moved up to a 38 (remember, I measure and wear a 34). It is way too long (why do manufacturers think that if you are wider, you must be taller?) and not nearly as snug as I would like, but the cup size is a bit larger…still NOT a DD! OMG, guess I have to make one myself. Maidenform…wake up!

Will flatten your butt
I like this brand as it is not cheap quality and the stitching is very good. My only issue is that the material on the butt and hips should be different that the rest of the garment. It flattens everything and gives a very hard deep panty line and cuts your boobs in half. I ordered a bigger size because it says it’s “firm control” I have a flat stomach with big hips/butt and D cups. I like these one pieces to smooth my bra roll and wear under thin outfits that are see-through. The bust cups are a bit small. I ordered a D and they fit more like a b cup. May be more for a sloppy body trying to create a shape, but doesn’t flatter a nice curvy shape…just flattens everything out.

It fits so well. I followed the advice from someone else who said to size down for a better fit and it’s true. I would have probably gotten a 38 D but I got the 36 DD and holds everything in and bra cupIs perfect!

Comfortably effective – but could easily be ktbetter, Maidenform.
Effective body shaper. Details matter.Skimpy on length. Could be a bit more generous – and I am only 5’4”! Size seems to match bra sizing.After wearing, the morning tussle with this garment is well worth the day long comfort – until it’s time to make a trip to the necessary.At that point I am left wondering why, in this day of INDUSTRIAL VELCRO Maidenform makes women contend with hook & eye. In the crotch!?Simple things like Velcro would do wonders for this product.

Lil disappointed
The reason for a 4 instead of a 5 is the lining does not hold your shape. The lining is a lightweight material that is loose and doesn’t hold your body snug like it should.

Once you get it on, you’re good
Ok I’ll be honest, I did not think this was going to fit. It was a STRUGGLE to get it on. It seemed to not stretch at all. BUT! Once I was finally successful, I was pleasantly surprised. When they say firm hold, they mean it. I ate a pile of chips and queso plus two tacos for lunch before trying this on and it smoothed and tightened everything! I do wish it had snaps instead of hooks in the crotch but no big deal. I searched a long time for a lacy bodysuit and this one exceeded my expectations! I’m 5’7”, 38DD (that’s the size I got) and probably about 200 lbs right now.

Comfortable once you get it on
It is tight getting it on, but comfortable once it’s on. I found the bra cups a touch small and had to adjust so I wasn’t spilling out. The crotch snaps are positioned more toward the back, making opening and closing them a bit challenging. Also, it rides up the rear a bit. Those are all my complaints. All said, though, it feels really good and I think it looks good too.

I got the black 38DD and that’s my actual bra size. I’m 5’8″ 200 pounds. This is the best body shaper I’ve ever had. This is the first time I’ve purchased a body shaper with a built in bra. Once I got it on, it was a little difficult, it was game over! The fit was wonderful and left me SNATCHED! It’s so comfortable. I wore it all day. I sat a lot of the time I wore it the first time and I couldn’t even feel it. Feels like skin! I’m definitely getting another one.

Not the shape I want
It’s cute, took some hard pulling to get on. But once it’s on its nice. Other than some fat spillage on the back part where the straps on it fit nicely. It sit at a funny place on my hips so it doesn’t give the shape I was looking for. I tried it on on a full bloat day because that’s when I need it to work the best and there wasn’t a lot of “snatching” happening. I love that the bra is full coverage but still sexy. The good out weight the bad for this one so I think I’ll keep it.

Does the job but not super comfy
It fit great, sucked the fat in where needed. The lace bra part was pretty but gotta be careful & make sure “the girls” are positioned correctly or a nip may be seen. I loved the way it smoothed everything out & I didn’t feel frumpy. The crotch snap would be better, I feel, as a snap or maybe strong velcro, it was very difficult to clasp 3 clasps in that area & felt I spent way too much time trying to hook them. Also felt that 2 clasps would have worked, 3 made it a bit “bunchy” down in that area & was a bit uncomfortable. I’m 5’6, about 155 lbs and ordered a Medium. Don’t buy the size you normally wear then it won’t do it’s job, it HAS to be tight to work.

okay shaper
I have bought this shaper several times. Now hear me out. I love the way it helps my shape. It’s comfortable hold in what needs to be held in. The only down side which is why I rated it the way I did is that the lace in the bra will rip. Now if you don’t wear this on a regular basis you may be fine. However I wear it to work on a regular basis so the lace does not stand the test of time. I really like it so I have bought it a bunch of times when the lace rips. I don’t know maybe I’m too rough when putting it on. However still love this and will continue to buy.

A little short in the torso
This is a flattering and functional piece. I needed something to smooth my mid-section and serve as a bra all in one piece. This was flattering and sexy looking. I was a little worried that the hook closure in the crotch would be uncomfortable, but it didn’t bother me at all and I wore this garment for 8 hours at a formal event for my work. I didn’t feel corseted and could move freely and enjoy a meal without feeling like I was a sausage in a too tight casing. The only thing I have to mark off points for is that even with adjustable straps, I felt this was a little short. I’m 5’4 and don’t have a long torso, so I was surprised this was so snug. The result was that even at the longest setting, the straps dug in a bit to my shoulders. I’m prepared for some level of discomfort when it comes to foundation garments, so it won’t deter me from wearing this again as needed. But if I could change one thing it would be the overall length…otherwise A+ from me!

Cute, but no tummy control…
Looks cute on, but definitely would NOT call this shapewear. I’m 5’7 and weigh about 200 lbs. This looked more like a sexy body suit that would look cute with jeans and a jacket. I ordered a 42C, my normal size and it fit nicely up top. However, I would not say this had any tummy control. I would recommend only if you do not need to use this as shapewear.

Should have sized down
I like shapewear to be tight. I have always sized down for Maidenform but I got thrown by some of the other reviews and ordered truer to size 38D. Great breast support and feels nice around my bum but I’m not getting the compression around the waist to accentuate an hourglass figure. It fits more like lingerie at this size with definite smoothing and appeal as a standalone but not great for shaping the mid section.
