Just bought a pair of Body Wrap Shapewear yesterday after trying on a whole bunch at The Bay earlier. I specifically explained to the sales lady (older lady) that I needed something that wouldn't cut into my belly and make a muffin top, as the dress I'll be wearing will show this. She told me that it WOULD NOT do that and if they did then no one would look good in them! She went on saying how much people love them, etc. They were $42 and the sale was final, but I did not feel like walking back to The Bay so I bought them based on her confidence that I would be happy.
Got home, tried them on over my own underwear, and they are sooo uncomfortable. They were too tight and made a line across my belly where it made a slight muffin top. The sizing chart said this size was appropriate for me, so I don't know why. The top of them is much higher than the underwear I was wearing so I know it had nothing do with wearing them underneath.
I called the lady back the next morning, she happened to be the manager, and explained that I understood that it's a final sale but would she be able to make an exception since tags are still on and unworn. She apologized that they weren't good but refused to take them back. I told her from now on she shouldn't tell customers that they totally flatten the belly, as others women may get in the same situation. She proceeded to kick me off the phone by saying she needed the line to make another cc transaction and then hung up on me!!
I really should have walked 5 minutes back to The Bay where they have excellent service AND let you try stuff on, especially expensive undergarments.
