Allow me to start from the beginning. I emailed and asked about what size. She could have just referred to the website and have me do it by myself. (So many others had) No, she suggested the size and it was dead on. I received my faja and all the great craftsmanship, all the little things we take for granted. The material is top tier. I haven't had surgery yet, however when I put it on it instantly shaped my body. Took this old body to curvaceous heaven. Thanks, I am a customer for life.
