The attached bra is a lifesaver for me as a curvy girl who hates dealing with a separate shapewear top — it stays put all day. The extra hip and butt room means no awkward bunching in the back, and the waist still gets that snatched look. Already ordered a second one.
The high-compression powernet really does its job—my waist looks snatched the moment I zip it up, though I wish the hooks had one more row for fine-tuning. Still, the extra hip room means I can actually move without that sausage-casing feeling, so it's a win for my hourglass shape.
The high-compression powernet really does cinch the waist and lift the backside, exactly as described for a curvy frame. The attached bra is a nice bonus, though the double hooks take a bit of effort to fasten. I'd say just be ready for that snug fit on the first wear.
