I bought one size down and squeezed in. Needed help getting it on everyday the first week. But by the second week I could wiggle in and go in no time. First time it was hell and suffocation trying to pull in up but was comfy once it was on. I guess when the material is fresh it's hard to get up but I wear it around all day and on the days I don't have it my husband now can't tell. Loving my curves I have a 5 month old and a 5 year old can't show myself in this thing but I will attach a pic. Shoulder weight is the only problem I'm having and I've had this body suit for about a month and again there are days I don't wear it. I bought this again after about 4 years because my mom took the first one I bought after having my 5 year old. And it did wonders. Especially if u work out with it. I drink my morning glass of apple cider vinegar and do housework and I have a cycle and I've been dropping pounds. I bought a neosprone sweat bra and my boobs shrunk and an under armour long pants. I wear it all with this body suit as u can see in the third pic.
