I bought this all the way from overseas because of all the good reviews I saw about in on Facebook groups. Its shape is lovely and really snatches my waist! I got a size MODEL A - XL HIPS for my 26 - 36 measurements. The XL was perfect for my hips (I sized up) and personally I would suggest to size up on the waist to MODEL B if you're the same size as me (I could NOT get it on when it arrived) or get extenders. I decided to use extenders and so far so good! I believe I'll be able to do without it eventually as the faja gets soft the more you use it. There is no hip or butt compression like other fajas which is amazing, but it can make you feel like you have a wedgie :)) I would buy it again but in beige this time with the same measurements and see how it compares.
