Who recommended the M&S control vest thingies?

[MrsMeow]

Speak up now because I want to give you the biggest snog in the world!

I bought a couple at the weekend and they are FANTASTIC. I've put a couple of lbs on recently due to meds, nothing major but you know when you don't feel as though you look nice in your clothes? Anyway, I've tried them under most things and they really are slimming. They say tummy and waist control, but I find they work wonders on my love handles (I'm such a catch!) as well, and just make me look a lot more 'streamlined'.

Comfy too :) thank you whoever recommended them - I think it was a few people actually.

I am going to investigate them tomorrow. M&S be warned - impressive bumps approaching.....! :)

REmembe to step into them, not over the head and they should be tight, if they are too loose they will roll up.

Ooh I may have to renege on my "not spending any more money for a month" and buy some next time I pass M&S.

Having said that, I may not pass M&S for a month anyway ;)

Can you wear a bra under them? (balcony) (every little helps!)

I have just come back from M&S with 2, from recommendations here - a flesh mesh one and one cotton one. They were nearly sold out, hoping I got the right size now as didn't try on and didn't size up...

I spent all of my money in Selfridges instead. Will try one on another time.

Hevian, yeah you can wear a bra with them :)

Keziah - did they fit ok?

The flesh mesh one fits really well and I didnt' size up (got a 12 but I vary in tops from size 10-14 depending on shop!) but the cotton one I can't fit over my head so will have to go back.

Oh - and I am a G cup and it fits fantastically!

Bargain! That's worth knowing actually as I was going to buy a mesh one online. I have the cotton ones and they're the ones that I did size up on!

Yes, would need to size up the cotton one but they only had 2 sizes left in stock - a 12 and an 18. Am going to buy the black mesh one now.

Bigger boobied ladies please let me know - do you need to wear a bra underneath? I'm thinking a bra and a vest would make me all hot and bothered - and not in a David Tennant way...

purpleyprincess - there's no support in the breasticle area, it's just like a normal vest in that way, so I wouldn't go bra-less myself.

If you like the control vests you should try the Control Swimsuit. It's the only thing that makes me feel good after the birth of my twins (I end up wearing when my daughter is playing in the paddling pool just so that I can feel slim!)

bought 2 today. got my true size (16). The mesh one doesnt hold anything in at all- but the cotton one i like- wonder whether I could squeeze a 14 on for a berret effect though?

thanks Mrs M, it would be in addition to my titsling then...hmmm I'd have to try it but imagine I would be hotter than a hot thing in hot land...

Can you breathe when wearing them sitting down? That's always my problem with these types of things!

Keziah they are not meant to fit over your head. step into the top and pull it up.

I agree with DJB about the control swimsuit......it is awesome.....the best I have looked in a swimming cossie for YEARS!!!!
