Rago Style 9357 – Extra-Firm Open Bottom Body Shaper

Do you need shapewear? Look no further. This is the best piece of shapewear I have ever purchased. (And I purchase a lot of shapewear because I am habitually lazy about diet and exercise and so long as products like this exist I will be.)I was going to meet Captain flipping America, so I commissioned *the* red dress Peggy Carter wears in First Avenger. I always look like a busted can of biscuits in wiggle dresses, so I knew I would need good shapewear. I asked around, and boy am I glad I did. A few girls recommended this one to me, so I figured I’d order it and send it back if I didn’t like it. (The beauty of Amazon!)It came. I tried it on. I knew.Despite being so tight that I could literally feel the chicken nuggets I had eaten earlier just chilling in my small intestine, it was pretty comfortable for shapewear.The time comes, I take a big breath, and I put it on for the convention. It’s so legit, I can’t even sweat through it; my sweat is literally being redirected to my thighs. I can feel my internal organs shifting. Skinny girls are stopping me telling me how good my curves look. Thicc girls are asking me where I got my undergarments. I am turning so many heads that I feel as confident as a Kardashian after a skin peel and a juice cleanse.So confident, in fact, that I actually asked Captain America to dance. I have this shapewear to thank for the best 10 seconds of my life and the most perfect picture.Buy. This. Shapewear. You will not regret it.

This shape wear will work best if your body is proportionate to your bust. I purchased this for a client who is a 36DD, and quite curvy in the hips/booty. I ordered the sister size, a 38D, and we could not get this up past her knees. This is true shape wear with very little stretch, so be aware you may need to order waaay up with the band size, and order down in the cup size for a comfortable fit.

Ordering by cup size is so weird! I should have realized this has no bust support or back closure since it's obvious by the pictures, so that's on me but it barely matters since I'm a 32/34B. I ordered a 36B since reviews said to size up, but the cups are quite big. I'd recommend ordering a band size up and cup size down if you're a smaller cup gal. It's also the perfect length on my 5'3" frame which means if you're on the tall side, this might feel be too short. Had no trouble getting it on and yes, it's tight. It might be a cute, retro style but it's a very functional piece of shapewear. The construction is solid and I didnt find it itchy at all. Overall, I really like it!

For reference, I'm b: 35.5" (32D), w: 26.5/27", h: 35.5/36". They don't make 32s (why not?) but people said they run VERY small. Not true. I think people are just unaccustomed to wearing anything remotely snug. The 34 was definitely a 34. But the problem is that there's almost no inward curve at the waist. It's cut more or less straight up and down. So if you start out with a relatively small waist, instead of emphasizing that feature, it just squeezes above and below, making you less curvy. Not good. The bra is the best part. Comfortable, retro-looking, and only slightly big. The rest of it is horribly uncomfortable. Why people think this is high quality, I don't know, because the interior is terribly itchy/scratchy/rough, and the bottom of the leg grips very tightly (beyond the sticky gripper), creating bulges on less-than-skinny legs. If this were smoother, it would be far more comfortable, but I'd still look like a sausage with boobs. Sent it back with the "convenient" pay-for-the-postage-yourself label.

Definitely a snug fit, ordering by band size is difficult, I can see if you have larger middles and hips that this would be a pain to put on and take off. Practice and come up with a strategy. Once it's on it's comfortable but trying to squeeze it over the hips was the challenge. I Put it on feet first while it was folded down then pulled up bust portion once I got the waist in place. The boobs are kinda pointy but it has a nice vintage look.

I love the Rago brand! They fit true to size, I wear a 10 in jeans or a 29 - 30 waist if jeans are sized that way. I have acquired a nice selection of the Rago girdles and garter belts. I haven't wore these under my clothes out anywhere, mostly just for private time with my husband who loves the 1950's girdle look, but there's no reason that you can't if you choose to. I pair these with "garter stockings", which is different from thigh highs.

(Wife's review in my account):This was a disappointment in that it was SO SMALL, even though I ordered it in my usual bra band size. Too tight, couldn't really get it on it was so tight. Had to return it, sadly. I have many Rago products, all made extremely well, and they last forever, and are great for all-day wear and support. This AIO shaper, however, order it a size or two up from your regular bra and size, maybe it'll work for you.

Ok. So I'm transitioning to a more 50s wardrobe. Just adore the look. The look, however, is making some undergarments necessary. Here's one I like. So, I had read reviews. Y'know about feeling a chicken nugget in the intestines it's so tight review(still giggling over that). So I went down a cup, but up a band size. This worked, but I could've stayed 36 D. I wear a lot of compression tanks. Pretty much constantly under everything. I'm a size 6 but I like a smooth line. So to all who regularly wear tight Spanx like clothing, you don't need to size down. Really. I barely noticed the snugness. That said, well made garment. Works perfect under my dress. The one thing? It will change the shape of your breasts to a wee bit cone shaped. I was, at first, having a wtf moment, then began doing my Madonna Vogue impression (reference for the 90s teenagers lol) and all was right again in the world.

I bought this Rago for my photo studio and it is as exactly as expected. A top quality well made piece of shape wear from the leading American maker. I have several of these in the studio wardrobe and none show any signs of wear and tear despite being used very often.

Good quality, perfect fit as good as it looks.

This is a top-quality item, stylish, beautifully made and built to last. Very, very pleased with it, it's well worth the price.
