So, I snagged a great dress on clearance from one of my favorite stores. While the dress looked lovely, there was something about the way the bottom hung that was just...meh. I thought about sewing on some tulle to jazz it up a bit. Then it hit me that maybe there was a skirt underlayer already made I could add? Of course I went to Amazon and did a search.
Right away, I was awash in a sea of crinoline. The price differences were startling. Of course, you get what you pay for so I was worried I would have to pay $50 to make my $10 dress hang well. As a tall woman, I also worried that the length of these wouldn't be right for the tall dress I had.
I immediately loved the look of this in the picture and, of course, I loved the price! I braced myself as I read the reviews, but there were WONDERFUL! I thought...hey...I'll take a chance.
When it arrived, I took it out of the packaging and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of it. I ran upstairs to try it on and again was pleasantly surprised by the silky underlayer (that protects your legs from the crunchy voile) and especially the soft, stretchy top part around my hips. As suggested, you might want to go down a size. I would normally wear a 12 and order L in things, but under the advice from previous reviewers, I got a medium and it fits PERFECT. The other pleasant thing about the top part is that it has a 'bathing suit' quality to it which acts as a low level 'spanx' type container for your possible muffin top or fupa. And, because the 'poof' doesn't start until after your hips, it doesn't add any bulk to that area. Which, as a woman, I definitely appreciate :)
In case you were wondering, it was GORGEOUS under my dress! By adjusting it a bit I can either have it peek out a bit or line up flush with the dress. I'm already thinking I'm going to need a few more colors for all my fit and flare dresses!!
PROS:
-GREAT value
-Quality construction
-Smooshes that muffin top/fupa
-Adjustable length by 'sagging' a bit or by rolling the top
-Perfect amount of 'poof'
CONS:
-Runs large (not a con unless you didn't read this review, yo)
-Does arrived bunched up in a bag so you'll need to steam/low iron it a bit to make it look like picture, but that's to be expected and not really a con imho

I've purchased quite a few waist cinchers/trimmers and I use them for my workouts. YIANNA's waist cincher is one of my favorites because not only is it affordable, it also helps with improving my poor posture. When I experience back discomfort, this is my go to waist trimmer to use at the gym.
Many have indicated that this is too short and barely covers the entire abdominal area; while it is true that it doesn't cover the area entirely, this is not a problem for me. I think it depends on how long one's torso is, etc. For reference, I'm 5'4 and I wear a large in shirts and the Large size fits me perfectly.
I'm plus size, and I like to use a waist trainer daily. This one is great. I'd follow the size guidelines. YES it will be tight, but it's supposed to be. I recommend laying down while putting it on. This is the first lower price waist trainer I've used that doesnt roll or dig. I also find that it'd not too hot to wear.
Excellent fit I am still wearing it I couldn't be more satisfied. I tried another brand didn't go down in the size that I needed it in, so I found you guys and I'm glad I did . Wooo Hoooo
The product was just as described. I was a little concern about the actual size I ordered but it fits perfect. I wear the shaper throughout the day . So far I'm very satisfied with this product. I will be ordering from this vendor again.

Fits well under the dress I bought. I thought it might be too fluffy, but was pleasantly surprised at how it filled out the dress without making it look like I had a ton of layers underneath.
The dress is exactly as described. It fits as expected and the material is quite nice. Be sure if you purchase it to purchase a full petticoat as it looks kiND of flat without one.
My friend bought me one a couple months ago and I love it. The back gets a little bumpy but it's okay. I bought one for my mom and the estimated delivery date was in three days, but it came the next day.
