Hiya - i've brought a miracle suit to go under mine, its really good really tightens everything up. When i tried mine on for the first time, i put on a pair of jeans which i haven't been able to get into for years and they went up and buttoned up comfortably.0

HA! I remember being a size 18 and looking round Debenhams for some and I saw they only went up to a size 14 (a few years ago now) and I was with my Dad, raging... "What's the point of fat pants if you're not even fat AARRRRRHGGGG"
PS, she may be thin and slender, but she either has zero boobs or they're 2ft higher than they should be so at least gain some comfort from that :rotfl:I love surprises!0 -

Agreed! She's been pulled so out of proportion she'd make Keira Knightley look short and dumpy....:heart2::heart2::heart2:Engaged to my lovely man since 27th April 2010:heart2::heart2::heart2::happylove0 -
I've got a Nancy Ganz Body slimmer ([FONT="]Fixed Strap Padded Bra-slip) and I love it It means that size 14's slide over my curves rather than cuddle them.
