MaidenformWomen's Shaping Half Slip

Delivery:I ordered this Thursday night, thinking it would come next week, as it says 3 to 5 days. Imagine my surprise when I get home the next evening to read my e-mails and it says it's been delivered to me??? I looked around, no card, went to my back door and it was left there. It was in a protective pouch so the rain wouldn't have got to it, but delivery within a day of ordering, especially as I ordered at night was totally unexpected, so I would suggest allowing for a super speedy delivery!The product:Fits very well, and feels great on. It's a little tight, but it's shape wear so it's got to do it's job somehow. The cups are very supportive and overall very comfy. There is a gusset which I did not expect, but it unfastens which is great. No VPL.**EDIT** I originally marked down by 1 star because I thought the straps were not alterable such as in the picture, as I wanted them in the X shape across the back. There could have been instructions as it's not like others which just unhook from the side, you have to squeeze the end of the strap in the middle and you will find a little gap for it to then unfasten from the fabric. Now this is in the X shape it feels so much nicer, and the straps now will never fall off my shoulders. This is now one of my favourite purchases ever.

Ive looked at so many of these under garments over the years, and this is the best one I have tried.I was surprized to find it had a built in knicker thing which you can undo for the loo, but I found it best just to leave it undone. It didn't make any difference to the fit :)Very very pleased. and it did its job all night as well as being super comfortable

With a male body shape I need some help to look right wearing a dress and this is not a bad starting point. The only real poor design feature is that there's no targeted compression instead just relying on overall garment shape and even pressure to create the shape. That's a compromise for comfort over shape so I'd think about this for longer wear events over more extreme shape wear. After that the design looks better. A light gusset means it always goes back on consistently to the same position - important if the dress is anywhere near the upper line of the slip. I find it a close matching nude so it doesn't stand out under a lace yoke. There's a tiny strip of silicon inside the top which is keeping it in place under strapless tops. Just enough padding on the bra to create some shape and hold firms, but I can't comment on the comfort and support for you ladies needing it. The material seems smooth enough that lighter dresses fall on it better, move and look better.

Good fit, excellent quality and a thoughtfully designed garment. I've only rated a three due to the skirt riding up all the time and the underwire leaving sore marks from digging in under my arms. Will be ok for short time evening wear, but not and all day garment. Also I had not realised the garment had a gusset, which I find the fasteners a little far back to manage. Had they been more to the front, it would be perfect. The fact that the bra top fastens like a true bra ensured good fit up to, but again, it was a little difficult as you cannot fasten at front then spin it round like a normal bra. Felt like I needed to be a bit of a contortionist. Once on, it really did reduce my tummy and inch, giving a flattering look to my dress.

I didn't struggle as much as others have stated to get this on. It feels fabulous to wear, and definitely smoothies out all those lines you want to hide. Gives you the confidence you need too. I love it.

I can't give this any stars as the item I received bore no resemblance in any way to the item I ordered. I already have this in black so knew exactly what to expect with regard to looks, structure and fit. The item I received was not even a cheap copy! It was made of material similar to the top section of a pair of tights, just thick and double layered. its going straight back!!

This is a great body suit unfortunately it did not fit me it was good quality and I'd recommend it as a good buy

I always make sure I read the reviews beforehand and I was very impressed by what other customers had said. However, I was very disappointed with this item. Yes,it was comfortable, snug and tucked me in a little around the back as stated but then I don't have a HUGE back, my problem is my belly and it DID NOT smooth out my lumps and bumps! If anything it emphasised my 'B' shaped belly :'-( I wasn't expecting a miracle but I was hoping a little reduction, especially considering everyone else praised it.Had to return to start the search again!!
