Pros
- Good control
- Machine washable
- True To Size
Cons
- TOO SHORT IN THE BODY
Best Uses
- Occasions
Although the pants appeared to do as they said on the label, they are too short in the body and you end up with a gap between them and your bra, which in my case resulted in a bulge.
Im a size 10-12 and ordered in a 12. Could of done with a smaller size but they were out of stock.
I would recommend but to someone shorter than myself (5ft 8" with a long body)
Pros
- Doesn't roll down
- Easy to wear
- Gives you a nice shape
- Surprisingly comfortable
Cons
- Can't think of any
Best Uses
- Also Great Under Trousers
- Under evening dresses
- Would Work Under Anything
I bought this as I was going on a cruise and like to wear dresses in the evenings. I have lost quite a bit of my weight but not enough to confidently wear my dresses without a little help. This boosted my confidence and made me look more shapely without the usual feeling of being unable to breath or move freely! It was extremely comfortable and stayed in place with no annoying roll down as with some shape wear. All in all I can honestly say this is a fab product which does what it promises, at a reasonable price[...] and I would not hesitate to recommend it or buy it again for myself.
Pros
- Comfy
- Good fit
- Very slimming
Cons
Best Uses
- For That Lbd
Having previously being disappointed in these type of knickers. I was surprised at what a great fit these knickers are. They are really comfortable,dont roll down, and are very flattering.
They look great. So long as you don't move. As soon as you do they roll down.

Clothing
The diagram below shows the key points to measure when calculating size, then simply select the correct size from the chart above. It's best to actually take body measurements rather than measuring over clothes. You shouldn't need to 'size up' or 'down' unless you have a particular fit preference of course.
Dress Length
Lingerie
1. The Back or Band Size (A)
Keep your bra on and measure in inches around your ribcage directly under your bust.
- If it is an even number = add 4 ins
- If it is an odd number = add 5 ins
This gives you the band or back size. When measuring, you should always round down! Your underband should be snug, e.g. If you achieve 29.5 ins then round down.
For example: your underband measurement is 29in then add 5 ins - you are a 34.
2. The Cup Size (B)
Now measure around the fullest part of your bust, the full bust measurement less underband = cup size. When measuring, you should always round up!
The over bust measurement should always be generous, e.g. If you achieve 34.5 ins then round up to 35 ins.
- 34 Back size & 34 Full Bust size = A cup
- 34 Back size & 35 Full Bust size (+1 ins difference) = B cup
- 34 Back size & 36 Full Bust size (+2 ins difference) = C cup
- 34 Back size & 36 Full Bust size (+3 ins difference) = D cup... etc.
Footwear
width - toes should have room to spread with no bulges at the shoe’s widest part.
length - there should be half an inch (1.25cm) between the end of the shoe and the longest toe.
Ordering high leg boots
High leg boots that do not have any stretch material in them will not fit everyone. To find out whether boots will fit, use the calf measurement chart below.
In order to get the most precise measurement it’s best to get someone to measure for you.
