Rago Style 9357 | Open Bottom Body Briefer with Garters | Extra Firm Shaping | Lacette Lace | Made in USA

I have been eyeing this Rago slip as early as my first peek at the Sears catalog as a young girl. I finally bought one! It's mine! First off--this thing is incredibly powerful at smoothing lumps and bumps!! Even back rolls! There is a reason Rago has existed and has a credible reputation. Secondly --the size I ordered wasn't right for me since I was looking for a daily power slip under my work clothes. I am a 40DDD, 32 waist, 48 hip, thick thighs. I was going to order the 42DD (smaller cup to help with the lift) but chose the 44DD. While it definitely fit, it was a chore to squeeze into and not something I'm willing or able to do everyday. I'm used to corsets and have worn medical Rx compression garments for nearly two decades. This was like putting them all on at once! I am going to exchange this one for a 48DD for being able to save myself the wrestling match of the century putting the shaper on. Lastly --this is an absolutely gorgeous garment. I chose the Mocha color. It's superior quality and classically sensual. The fabric is also not scratchy like many garments of this material can be. The bra straps are sturdy satin that are adjustable but do not have any give (which is important in a control bra). You'll be happy with choosing this over all the others on the market if you are aiming for serious control in your undergarments that are pleasing to the eye. Tip: order by the largest part or your core to get the easiest fit (while still doing a fine smoothing job). You'll still need 5 to 10 mins to put it on, and a cocktail afterwards to relax but you will be one sassy lass in this slip!

I have tried a few shaping pieces before and they were always uncomfortable and left bulgy spots at the edges. In the end I never wore them. I got the Rago Style 9357 in red and black more to wear to entertain my boyfriend than to wear as an actual shaper but it was amazing. I struggled getting it on. Having a little help pulling into place goes a long way. (The same goes for getting it off.) Once it was on and in place it looked amazing. To my surprise it was comfortable too. I would have liked the garter straps to have been a little longer, especially in the back. Overall I was impressed with the comfort of the piece. I also thought it looked absolutely gorgeous, as did my boyfriend. I loved what it did to my figure. I am planning on getting another one in the beige and black. It has metal garter clips and appears to be very well made. Well worth the price.

I bought this because I'm looking to move into a pin-up look, or at the very least do a couple of photo shoots. Initially I was planning to return it, because getting it on was a pain. It is pretty stretchy, but I had to stretch it out some (kind of like you would a balloon before you blow it up) before I could get it on and even then it was a hassle. I have broad shoulders, which made getting the body of this item past my bust almost painful. I also have a long torso, so this item is borderline too short for me. I've worn it around my house a couple of times now, but I'm still on the fence about whether or not I'll wear it out and actually under clothing. I've also considered buying a different size to see if it fits better.

Ok let me just start by saying we had tried one on in a store so we knew ahead what size and how it fit. That said these are very small but have a lot of stretch. My wife wears a size 6-8 dress and has 36B bust so i ordered a 38bB as i did not want it to be too tight or squish her breasts. It fit great but it is a struggle to get on as she has to pull it on over her head. Her hips are about 39"-40" and her waist is 30". It looks great on and really helps hold her in. The garter tabs are metal which is nice but the adjusters and hardware on the shoulder straps looks to be plastic so that's why i only went 4 stars. Okay so let me share a little more. My wife used to weigh about 245 and wore a size 18-20 dress size. She had a gastric sleeve and lost about 100 pounds. While she was loosing weight she wore compression garments purchased from Marena. I can not tell you how glad I am that we did that because even at her age (mid 40's) these seemed to be very helpful in reducing the amount of excess skin. She still has many of these compression garments that she wears regularly as they are comfortable and functional. Although she has lost the weight she does have some excess skin and her breasts need support. This gives great support and gives her more shape.

If you are interested in 1950s fashion and considering purchasing a swing or wiggle dress, make sure you start with a great foundation. Rago has been around what seems like forever and their quality has never cheapened. This open bottom shaper holds all those bulges in place and gives you a fantastic hourglass figure. The open bottom does definitely help when using the privy. Only warning is that this shaper is fashioned with period correct pointy bra cups!

Very nice item! It's very comfortable with no scratchy parts and is very durable. They are pricey but they are also very high quality.

Made with the Cheapest material they could find. The quality makes me question the integrity of the brand. With that being said, I am not sure if I received a counterfeit in place of a RAGO body briefer. The fit is flattering from an anterior point of view. Unless you have excess back fat. If you do have some chunk in the back it will spill and in my opinion counter the hourglass silhouette. I am only 5 feet tall and I felt that this was pretty short and didn’t come down long enough. The cup size was not true to size and was lined with a scratchy thin layer of polyester batting.

This fit as expected based on the reviews I read before ordering. I'd normally wear a 36 or 38, but ordered a 40 and it fit perfectly, other than the cup...which WAS a D and fit for a D, but the top piece of fabric was a little tight and doesn't stretch. For someone with a little bit bigger bustline, it'd cut into the breast skin a little at the top. As far as the tummy support...it's awesome. Totally tucked me in. I didn't look cute getting into it, but once it was on it was actually pretty vintage-y sexy. I rated this as 'Somewhat small' to let buyers know you should order 1-2 sizes bigger and it will still hold you in! Hope this helps.

Good quality, perfect fit as good as it looks.

I have a larger chest size and was worried that because of it the bottom would be swimming on me. That wasn’t the case at all. It was a perfect fit and slid on relatively easily. Gives a great retro look. Arrived quickly as well.

Für die ideale Figur unter dem Kleid. Sehr bequem und hochwertig. Die Strapsstrümpfe lassen sich einfach anklipsen. Es verrutscht nichts. 100% Wohlfühlfaktor für die Strapsträgerin. Klare Empfelung. Grössenangabe stimmt exakt.

Alles tipp top. Sehr schnelle Lieferung. Passform 1 A. Uuund schön schick "bunt".

User 23: prima weisses corselette, geliefert wie geordert. Allerdings habe ich meine aussmasse unterschätzt. Passte leider doch nicht. Material und Farbe waren in Ordnung, aber passte leider nicht . Daher musste ich zurückgeben.
