I followed the size chart. However, when I got it, it was too big. If you are closer to the previous/smaller size, order the previous/smaller size. Additionally, it doesn't feel very supportive. If you're looking for a shaper with high control, this is not it.
Got this in and was very pleased with the results! Really reduces your body inches in all the areas! Holds your stomach in and even shapes your butt nicely! Will be buying others. I was skeptical when I bought it because I have bought other brands but now I know only to buy Spanx!
This is my 2nd pair in the Power line shaper. Very durable my first pair lasted me almost a year. I gave it a four only because by the end and it's use the top portion was rolling down other than that been very satisfied.
