I bought a larger size than I usually wear, thinking it would fit more comfortably. When I opened the package I couldn't believe how small it looked. I decided to try it on anyway. I put one leg into it and there was barely any room for my other leg- and this thing was supposed to fit over my hips and bust? It did actually stretch to go on, but it was awful. I didn't even see a difference in how my dress looked on me with it versus without it. Certainly not worth the discomfort or cost.
