THE HOURGLASS ESSENTIALS

I was skeptical about the adjustable waist trainer part, but the hook-and-eye closure lets me dial in the compression exactly how I want it throughout the day. Wore it under a dress for six hours and forgot it was on, yet my midsection looked noticeably smoother in photos.

The thermal fabric actually does its job—I wore the cami under a dress for six hours and didn’t feel sticky or overheated once, even while running errands. The adjustable waist trainer part cinches snug without digging in, and it’s easy to tweak the fit as the day goes on.

The adjustable waist trainer really locks in place without digging in, and I love that the two-in-one design means I don’t need a separate cami. I’ve worn it under a dress all day and still felt snug but breathable. It’s become my go-to for shaping up my silhouette before a night out.
