It doesn't do any of the things it promises. The two stars are for the quality and elasticity. It doesn't give a thinner result or compress the area.

I bought it to cover my belly as I have excess weight after pregnancy! Unfortunately, it does not fully cover the belly area, if you know what I mean... in the lower part of the belly that hangs after pregnancy (I didn't have such an issue before), the corset does not cover with the hard fabric it has, but with a completely soft one that is supposed to be for the bikini area but it covers even below the waist! This results in it squeezing above the waist and creating a bulge below! Unfortunately, it doesn't do what it promises for me!
I should note that I got a smaller size than what I normally wear to make it tight and gather the belly!

The corset was good, I wore it under a very tight dress to hold everything in place. I had never worn one before, so I can say it was a good experience, I forgot about it after a while. As for the fit, it was okay, I didn't really like how it fit on the sides, it squeezed my love handles a bit and left marks. It took a bit of adjusting to find the best position. However, once it was in place, it didn't move at all throughout the evening.

I love it very much! Very good purchase! It is stable and greatly improves my appearance. It flattens the stomach and is truly invisible. I will also get it in beige color. I recommend it!
