Rago Style 9057 - Body Briefer Extra-Firm Shaping

Rago vintage shape wear is unmatched in quality and function. Nothing out there today beats Rago. This particular one piece shaper is my everyday, go-to undergarment. Buy one in each color and throw everything else away.

Esta es la clásica faja Rago, misma que usaban nuestras madres y abuelas, sólo que con un twist. Resulta que ahora el material es mucho más fino, mas rígido y con menos goma, no se parece a ninguna de las que habíamos pedido antes y el cambio no es para bien.Créame cuando les digo, que he sido usuaria de Rago, desde inicios de los 2000 y mi suegra desde los 70's, y que definitivamente era otra la calidad y otros los materiales que se utilizaban en su confección, no esta que nos llegó. Tengo guardadas dos, una que compré y otra que me regaló mi suegra, de hace 10 y 12 años respectivamente y ninguna de las dos, se parecen a esta que compré , empezando por decir que es una cosa rígida, áspera y transparente, que raspa la piel, aprieta e incomoda. El material es horrible, parece pelón (ese material rígido que se usa para forrar y darle cuerpo a las confecciónes) no tiene nada salvable o agradable que decir de ella, sólo contras.Una total pérdida de dinero que nunca he usado y nunca usaré.

Received my order sooner than I expected. Decent prices.

I had to send this item back. I contacted the seller and got great customer service. The fabric was see through..and I didn't feel it would have good firm hold like I need. It did run small...so don't order a smaller size thinking it will hold you in better because you won't be able to get yourself into it. After purchasing many body shapers and girdles I can say this is classified as average or light hold. If you don't need a miracle like me...just some light support and smoothing....this garment will work perfect for you! I actually ended up with a company that sells heavy duty compression body shapers for the medical community. They are not only for shaping the body after weight loss...but also for after surgery procedures like tummy tucks and liposuction. Always remember to be honest about your size and stick with it because ordering a smaller size won't allow you to get into the shaper....

The Rago is Great for shaping & firmness--very well made & strong panels...unfortunately, the bodice of this briefer was too short for the bra portion to align in my particular 'dress top.'

I was a little unsure what size to order this product in, since my bra size (40G in UK sizing, 40I in US sizing) isn't one that Rago carries. I also have rather large hips and backside, so ordering based on bra size can be frustrating because my lower half is 1-2 dress sizes larger than my upper half. I had previously tried the Rago "wear your own bra" type girdle and was not successful in finding a size in that that fit, so I braved this one. I took a chance and ordered the largest size. Following the "sister size" theory, it should approximately fit me, but unfortunately that was not the case. I wear around a size 22-24 US in women's jeans, but this was just too small. I tried pulling it on over my head, and couldn't get it past my shoulders. Based on the size of the top opening, I didn't even try to pull it on over my hips, because it didn't look like it would fit. I gave it to a friend who is a little smaller than me, around a 16-18, and it fits them great, though a little big in the cups as they're smaller in the bust than I am. It looks fantastic on my friend and really snatches and smooths, but based on how off the sizing is, I have no idea how to recommend others select a size in this. I've seen other reviews say to size up, but I wasn't expecting to have to size up that much and still not have it fit. It looks really good and works very well if you can figure out your size, but that can be difficult with this product.

I love it! It tames my unsightly bulges and produces a more flattering figure. I also love the fact that it comes with garters, which I use with stockings when I'm striving for a more sexy look. Under more normal, day to day, circumstances, however, I wear it with tights or pantyhose. Purchased the black briefer, but will be purchasing the white version as well. Well worth the money.

Product was not true to the size.
