Question 1

I’m a size 16 in pants and I’m wondering what size would fit best?

Accepted Answer

I bought a size XXL. Wore it yesterday and was comfortable! No pinching or binding, and no roll down. And I looked smooth. I normally wear a 14-16 in pants also.

Question 2

i am 5'3 tall and about 170lbs what size would recomend? L or Xl?

Accepted Answer

I would definitely recommend XL especially if you carry much of your weight around your mid-section.  You will be much more comfortable and get good results.

Question 3

What size fits 260 pounds?

Accepted Answer

Not really sure. I bought the xl and I am petite at 180. I used the same size as I wear in clothes.

Question 4

Im 5'8" and weigh 336 pounds. Ive bought this stuff in the past but they were too binding and cut into me. Ive lost 162 lbs, will this hide the flab?

Accepted Answer

Call first to see if your Ross or Marshall’s have reopened their dressing rooms. In my area of the world, dressing rooms are not open. Nordstrom’s, Macy’s, and Dillard’s had trained fitting techs beforethe Pandemic restrictions. Call to see if their dressing rooms are open. JC Pennys n my area shut down as did Sears. I have been using measuring tape and Amazon’s feature where some vendors let customer try before they buy like stores did back in the days of paper catalogs. One of my favorite plus size stores called Avenue shut down in my area. Lane Bryant has fitting techs in some of their stores. These places give you your measures and help you find features that you like in garments. I usually buy from the stores that helped me get fitted. During pandemic restrictions, I turned to Amazon’s digital shopping mall with a small measure of success. I see the software getting better at helping plus sized women. Yes I did write some heated emails. Did they listen to me? Probably not. Did they listen to more than me? Probably. Your question is excellent and proves that vendors and Amazon need to work together more closely for predicting our questions. The real issue is body shape. People can have the same weight and height but not the same body shape. I’d like to see a search for the body type of the reviewers. This product likely works perfectly for some body types but not others. I hope you will return to this area to tell us what you learned. I’m still thinking about the product.
