More comfortable than expected
Date:March 26, 2013
Pros: Fit, Comfort
Cons: so far none
I ordered this in size 5x/6x. I wear a 26 pant, and the 5/6 fits well. It rolls a little in back, but I think that is more due to my shape then the fit. The front did not roll at all and the legs stayed put. I wore tights over this, and the tights which were a bit small for their size, fit fine over and as a whole, it was surprisingly comfortable and easy to get in and out of when I needed to use the restroom. The skirt I wore with it, usually just fits, and with the shaper, hung a little looser. Altogether, it looked and felt great. I have only used it once so far, so I can't speak to how it holds up over time.

These are great if you get the right size
Date:July 1, 2012
Pros: Comfort
I ordered these according to the size I should wear per the size chart and I wasn't very happy with them. The waist would roll down and the legs would roll up. I ordered the next size down and they are great. The legs and waist both stopped rolling with the smaller size and they are very comfortable.

Light-weight; slimming
Date:April 3, 2012
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort, light weight
Cons: not enough colors
I was surprised by how light this weighs and how slimming it is. I was afraid that it would be too small but it fit perfectly and was not binding. I will buy more of these and wish they came in more colors.

so comfortable
Date:June 20, 2011
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
This is the most comfortable foundation that I have worn in a long time. It looks good not too binding and to test it I wore it under jeans and I have never done that. I would recommend this garment to anyone needing light support.

Comfy, but they roll up when walking.
Date:April 1, 2011
Pros: Comfort
Cons: Fit
I was really excited about this shaper, the feel of the fabric is fantastic. However, when I put it to the test and went walking, the thighs rolled up within half a block. I'm glad I didn't go and purchase more based on my first impression. If these were four or five inches longer in the thighs, they'd be perfect for my substantial thighs.

Best in-store Reshaping Garment
Date:August 16, 2010
Pros: Fit, Comfort, price
Cons: had to learn how to fit into the garment.
I am successfully dieting (50 POUNDS THIS SUMMER), so my skin has yet to catch up with the rest of me. These reshappers grab all of my loose skin and successfully hide a multitude of me, smoothly disguising my belly and thighs. They are available in a variety of sizes, (I have personally dropped 4 sizes and each size is great!) As a person with large thighs, I was worried about comfort, but these are very stretchy. I did learn a trick or two about how to put these on by viewing internet videos of people getting into other garments, which then helped me fit smaller sizes of these Serenada reshaping garments purchased at my local Catherines. (Pull legs up part way wrong-side-out, then pull the rest of the way up as the garment becomes right side out; place hands inside stomach area area pulling out and up over abdomen & same with back.) The higher waist makes it such that the top stays up with an invisible waist line and does not roll back down. When purchased on sale, I was doubly pleased!

Yes and No
Date:August 4, 2010
Pros: Fit, Comfort
Cons: quality issues
I ordered 2 of these; one black and one beige, with very different results. As far as the beige one, I would agree with a previous reviewer who said hers fell apart at the seams. I wore it once, washed it once, then it started to rip. I had to throw it out. My experience with the black one was totally different. It fits well (I'm bottom heavy) and stays in place. I've worn and washed it multiple times and found it to be quite durable. I can't explain it; were they made in different places? I'm buying another beige one in the hope that the first one I bought was a fluke. We'll see.

Best Shaper I've Found!
Date:August 2, 2010
Pros: Fit, Comfort, leg stays put without digging into your skin., waist stays up and doesn't roll down.
I didn't know what size to get, so I went to a store and I was able to talk to the salesperson who said to go up 2-3 sizes from your normal pants size. So if you're normally a 2x go to a 5x in this shaper. That helped for me.
The great points about this shaper are it's very lightweight, yet it holds you in and smooths your curves. The legs don't ride up or dig in, so it's not noticable underneath your pants/skirts/dresses. The top stays up and doesn't roll down. Very durable, unlike Spanx, which seem to fall apart quickly.
Please don't get rid of this shaper in favor of Spanx! This is the best shaper I've every had!!! I might load up on them just in case.

Always take your measurements !!
Date:June 3, 2010
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort, gentle application, great price
This is JUST what I was looking for. It fits great as I am 6'2" and have huge problems with fit. I also have arthritic hands and this garment was a dream to put on. No need for a split crotch as it's easy to pull down and back up. I am ONE happy camper !! I also have severe back pain and this garment was just perfect to releive this problem.

TOO TIGHT
Date:November 1, 2009
Pros: material
Cons: Fit
Perhaps I ordered this too small. As I was trying it on, I knew that I would not be able to rush to the ladies room in time. The material is great and would probably work well if it fit me.

Superior Product
Date:November 1, 2009
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
Cons: order info should explain sizing
Oh my goodness, I've looked high and low for a shaper that will not roll, bind, or weigh me down and the Serenada C19 fits my needs perfectly! My problem is my middriff and I was sure the garmet would roll down after a while, but it didn't. It goes as high as it shows in the picture and stays there!. It stayed in place and controlled my tummy and I stayed confortable all day long. It was cool, is very light weight and easy on and off. Highly recommend this garment for control. Price is excellent for the quality of the product..

eliminates leg rub
Date:October 19, 2009
Pros: Fit, Comfort
Cons: wish they were made of silky material
I started using these a few seasons back to help ease leg friction in the warmer months when I did not want to wear pantihose (i hate wearing hose). These were fantastic! They're like double duty shorts, adding the cushion I need to prevent friction and addig support to make my clothes look fabulous!!! I've since begun to wear them whenever I can, even under pants. For the price these really can't be beat. Just beware that they are not silky to the touch, so with some skirts/dresses a slip may be needed to prevent sticking.

The best for control!!
Date:October 16, 2009
Pros: Fit, Comfort, durable, they work!
While I have tried Spanx and do like them, they just don't seem to be durable and I go through them so fast. The Serenada shaper is the best product I have used for shaping! It is durable, washes with regular laundry, doesn't get runs, supports not only the thighs, but, gives great control of hips, back and tummy! I wear them under everything! They are super easy to get on and I can't even tell I have them on! They are so comfortable. Thanks to the Catherine's employee that talked me into trying these.
