It really does what it says it will do. First, I sized up so I could be comfortable and I got that, the garment still was firm cut many inches from my waist. I am on a doctor supervised diet where I have to go weigh in each week and when I put this on my pants were looser and falling down and I was thinking wow I am dropping the weight finally and then I remembered I had on this (ha ha ha) This is the only garment of this type that I have found and it DID NOT ROLL DOWN, I repeat did not roll down, very comfortable, soft and sexy. It is a little long wasted but you can work with it. I have 5’4 and I did not have any bunching up in the front. This is a total steal at $10 so I might order another. I would have paid full price for this. I will order from this line again. I am not sure what the bad reviews are about but I think if you order up in this line will be fine, you can have comfort and support all at the same time.
