I Love Love Love that this item does everything I need in my shape-wear! It’s very well constructed. The seams are strong. It holds my stomach flat and lifts my butt. It doesn’t pinch anywhere. The material is thin but has firm support (but it won’t be too hot in the warmer days).No pinching and the material is smooth, so I can wear it under my favorite body skimming dress :-) I’m very happy with this purchase.
