Ouch!
I read the reviews about the tight armholes, but I took a chance. OMG, I wore this for 3 hours and was so uncomfortable I almost went to the ladies room and took it off before leaving the event. The armholes are beyond small. Also, it is not all that slimming. This is going back.

Tried It Twice
I had great hopes. I ordered the right size, according to the chart (XXL), but it was too big. One size down was better, but it still does not give me any control throughout the torso or abdomen. The leg and bust openings are good, not too high or tight. I kept the XL, but will only wear it over a waist sincher to controll and smoothe out my midriff. The hook and eye closures at the crotch are hard to manipulate. They take too much time and patience to open and rehook. I wonder if velcro straps there might be better, or consider moving the hooks and eyes up front much further and make them larger and thus easier to handle. Large snaps might even be easier than the present arrangement.

unhappy
Item did not have enough hold in power Felt too loose to work. Returned it. Would like a firmer hold.

awesome shaper and we all need it
This spanx is my best friend. I like the open breast better than the ones that cover my breast. I let my bra shape my breast. I bought a spanx last year and went two sizes smaller, thinking I would get more shape - wrong. Buy the right size!!!!!!! I did and now love the two have.

Comfortable moderate control shaper
I purchased this in the black in XL. I am a size 14 and normally would have purchased the size large. However, I purchased XL based on the very helpful review about the armholes and removing the body suit. I am very glad I did. The suit fits comfortably with subtle to moderate control. If you are looking for super or higher control I would not recommend this suit. For me this product offers moderate, slimming and smoothing control. It helps me look my best in dresses for work and other attire. The hook an eye closure makes it easy to deal with bathroom breaks. I really like the open bust bodysuit feature as a 38DD it is very important that I wear the correct bra. I agree with the other reviewer you MUST be careful of the arhole area when removing the suit as you do not want to stretch the elastic. I also gave this 4 stars as it is a bit tricky to get off around the armhole area. Otherwise great body suit.

Almost there.........
Purchased this bodysuit in 2X and 3X and have decided to keep them both for different reasons. I really prefer the 2X except for the armhole openings, they are somewhat constrictive, but toleable. The 3X I will use for everyday comfort and just to feel and look more "pulled together." Everything is great, the fabric, the way the leg openings are more like a brief than a high cut leg, the hook and eye crotch opening and the banding under the bra area. The armhole openings are the one thing where improvemendt could be made. I have tried many different WYOB bodysuits and this one and one other QVC sells come close to being the best. That being said, there is also one other that uses an elastic type bias trim (Dr.Rey) around the top opening and armholes that makes putting on, taking off and wearing all day much more comfortable. I noticed that when you pull this one on you must be careful not to stretch to much or you can hear the stitches popping. Please consider improving this and you have a winner.
