Okay ladies, let’s talk about this Bali lace bodysuit that’s been living rent-free in my drawer (and occasionally on my body). First impression? *chef’s kiss* That lace detailing? Gorgeous. I feel like a Victorian heroine… if Victorians wore shapewear with crotch snaps.

The firm control is NO JOKE – it tames my post-taco-bell tummy like a stern but loving auntie. Yet somehow it’s still breathable? Black magic. The built-in bra is my favorite feature – underwire actually stays put (miracle!) though fair warning: the cups are basically just lace windows to your soul (read: nipples).

Pro tip: Size up if between sizes! I’m usually 34C but wish I’d gone 36B for breathing room. The crotch hooks are genius – no more doing the ‘shimmy of shame’ when nature calls. Only downside? Removing it requires the flexibility of a Cirque du Soleil performer after margarita night.

Final verdict? 4.5/5 stars – loses half a star because my cat looked scandalized when she saw me wrestling out of it. But for date nights or tight dresses? Absolute game-changer that makes me feel snatched yet not like a sausage casing.
