Good value
Yes, I recommend this
This is my third time of buying this body. I find it very comfortable and it streamlines my outer garments. It smooth's out any lumps and bumps. A bonus for me as I bought it in the sale.

badly stitched
No, I don't recommend this
very poor quality item, stitching not finished well,and the item was not checked prior to sending out as it had been cut through on one side of the leg,i was not at all pleased as i have bought this item before and not had a problem.

Perfect silhouette
Yes, I recommend this
I bought this to go under a long rather clingy evening dress. It gave me the perfect silhouette without any lumps and bumps. It was a little tricky to get on and off but it was worth the effort. A small price to pay for the finished effect. Just one little niggle - the metal pieces on the front of the straps tended to cut in but other than that - I would thoroughly recommend

Poppers are an issue
No, I don't recommend this
After reading all the other reviews I decided to give this a chance. I bought a size larger than I am thinking this may help with the issue and even put the poppers on the largest setting but they popped all day! Having on the largest setting felt too big ‘down there’ but it was awkward trying to fasten to the smaller size so not sure if that aided the issue. Size wise, I think if I’d have bought my true size, I wouldn’t have been able to breath!! I didn’t buy this to ‘slim’ me, I wanted a smooth line under a dress which it did.

Not very comfortable
No, I don't recommend this
This item was small, and I struggled to get it on and off. Incredibly uncomfortable. I have never tried this sort of underwear and I guess if it does the job then fine. Sorry but not worth the pain.

Great body
Yes, I recommend this
Love the feel of the material. Snug fitting which is ideal for this kind of underwear. Feels firm to wear and get a great shape under whatever you wear it under. Like the idea of wearing your own bra underneath as sometimes these body’s flatten the bust but not this style. Washes beautifully and soft. The only down side in my opinion is the gusset. I much prefer the hook and eye gusset as sometimes under pressure the poppers pop open more easily that I would like. Also a bit fiddly to re.pop after undoing them

Great Item
Yes, I recommend this
Ideal for what the wife wants however, as others have stated, the straps could be longer to make a more comfortable fit.

Pesky Poppers
No, I don't recommend this
Fit is absolutely great, and it completely smooths you, but come on M&S please sort out the cheap popper fastening!! Wore mine for one night, spent my evening back and forth going to redo the poppers, maybe Hooke and eye fastening would be better, actually better still, why don’t you just sew it together, I have returned even after wearing as this is not what I expect from M&S, I chose to ignore reviews about poppers coming undone, I wish I hadn’t.

Body shaper
Yes, I recommend this
This is my second one of these body shapers, gives you confidence to wear lovely clothes and be proud, disguises bulging bits ! Im 81 and the fit is perfect stops the look of everything going south , lol

Poppers keep popping
No, I don't recommend this
Overall this is very comfortable but almost every time I sat down the poppers would pop open. Surprising that M&S have not figured out a better way of doing this or upgraded their poppers as other retailers have. What was a reasonably priced product suddenly became very expensive as thrown in bin after one use!

Excellent once I wore it the right way round!
Yes, I recommend this
I am very grateful to the reviewer who said that most people were probably wearing it back to front! I put it on yesterday, struggling on the hottest day of the year. I peeled it off and tried it the other way round and hey presto, comfortable and effective.

Shape wear
No, I don't recommend this
Found this firstly, difficult to put on, and secondly, uncomfortable. I will be looking for one that has a fitted bra.

Poppers major problem
No, I don't recommend this
I also ignored comments about poppers thinking that as im only 5,2 I should be ok but no such luck, I spent a whole day going to the loo to fasten myself up n in the end I just left it open which resulted in it bunching up around my waist but id lost will to live with it by then! I actually woke up next day with aching thigh muscles from going up n down the stairs all day to the loo! The fabric also tore a bit from all the fastening I had to do! Again I can’t take it back so wasted ive my hard earned money! Im a size 14 n I bought a 16 so wasn’t too small!

Smooth line
Yes, I recommend this
I was sceptical but this really did give smooth lines. I didn’t have trouble with the poppers and it stayed in place all day long. There are two options for the poppers which may have helped.

Well fitting body
Yes, I recommend this
This body is perfect for me, makes my dress’s hang very well, I’m 12-14 size, this body is size 12 and fits very well.

Poppers!
No, I don't recommend this
This works well, as long as you do no sudden movements. As a size 12/14 I opted for a 14 having read reviews about the poppers and thinking maybe those people got one that was too small. Nope. Crossing my legs cause them all to un-pop. As I’ve worn it now, I can’t return. Waste of money for me as I won’t wear again...

Feeling Better
Yes, I recommend this
I would recommend this item to anyone who is conscious of the overhang that unfortunately comes with age it won't shift by dieting so the only solution is to hide it & that's what this item does

Nothing wrong - just not for me
No, I don't recommend this
There was nothing wrong with this item as such - it was just not suitable for me. I'm long in the body and it was a bit short. The high leg line meant it did not cover my bottom. It's firm control so felt quite constricting and the design round the bust was untidy. I settled for a light control style which covered tbe bust and it's perfect for me.

Control body size 12
No, I don't recommend this
This item looks nice and I thought it would be perfect under my close fitting dress. It gives a nice smooth silhouette but the straps are way too short. I don't think I have a longer than average body but they cut so badly into my shoulders it was painful. I returned this item when it the straps were a couple of inches longer I would have kept it. Very disappointed M&S
