Let me start by saying, this strapless shapewear is a *dream* for special occasions. I wore it under a tight cocktail dress, and wow—it smoothed everything out without feeling like a sausage casing. The built-in bra is genius (no more awkward bra straps peeking out!), and the anti-slip gel actually works—no constant tugging!

But here's the tea: the sizing is *tricky*. I’m usually a medium, but after reading reviews, I sized up to a large. Mistake. The tummy control was looser than expected, and the cups gaped (I’m a 34C). If you’re between sizes or busty, proceed with caution.

The open crotch design? Lifesaver. No more wrestling to pee in public restrooms! And the material? Soft yet sturdy—I’ve washed it 5+ times, and it hasn’t stretched out. But beware: if you want *extreme* compression (think waist trainer-level), this isn’t it. It’s more ‘gentle sculpting.’

Final verdict? **4/5 stars**. Perfect for weddings or date nights if you nail the size. Not for hardcore tummy-tucking, but for everyday smoothness? Chef’s kiss.
