When I bought this I was looking for a bridal bra that went lower than gut to suck everything in. Because I couldn't see the back of this product I thought this product was just that. However the upper portion of this has 4 or 5 hooks to strap the bra portion together in the back and doesn't squeeze everything in like a bridal bra does because of that.The girdle is beautiful. Great material, yet the body is somewhat small and the cups are very large. I ordered a 40 DD which is my size an it was extremely tight on the body with cuos that were at least one size larger than what I needed. I can't order a smaller cup since Inknwo the body won't fix.I love this item. I’m 38D and ordered 40d, big on me but still is sturdy from waist/tummy area and holds up breast well.This item fits me when I can finally get it on. Very hard to pull up in the back.This fits way too smallVery awkward fit
