Okay, so I finally caved and bought this shapewear bodysuit after seeing all the hype. Here's my real, unfiltered take on it!

First off, sizing is TRICKY. I'm usually an 18 in pants, but I went with a 16 based on reviews. Honestly? I could've sized down even more—this thing stretches like crazy! The fabric feels like thick pantyhose but way more supportive.

The good: When it fits right, holy wow does it WORK. My waist looked snatched instantly, and the butt lift effect is no joke. Wore it under a bodycon dress to a wedding and got so many compliments on my figure (little did they know 😉). The open bust design let me wear my normal bra comfortably.

The not-so-good: The thigh parts kept rolling up during my 8-hour workday. By hour 5, I was doing weird bathroom adjustments every 30 minutes. Also noticed some irritation where the seams hit my inner thighs—definitely wouldn't recommend for all-day wear unless you're standing still looking fabulous.

Final verdict? Amazing for special occasions when you need that extra oomph, but maybe not your everyday go-to. Would repurchase (in a smaller size!) just for nights out when I want to feel extra confident.
