| How to Purchase |
This girdle can be purchased to fit your hips; then gussets should
be added to accommodate your waist.
Caveat: This garment does not follow the Rago sizing chart, it
is off by one size. For example, if you wear a Rago 6210 size 30,
then you will need a size 32 for this Custom Maid girdle.

| Durability |
Excellent, however, during the first year, the zipper
tab broke off. I was able to fix this by installing a large, flattened
paper clip (and adding another hook and eye at the top). After 3 years
of wear, I had to patch a couple stretch marks next to the zipper.
|
| Comfort |
Very comfortable garment. It's TTC measurement
is a little short, so Harry is more comfortable in the vertical or
horizontal position. The seems on this garment are much more comfortable
that its Rago counterpart (6210) |
| Alterations Needed |
One or two gussets will be needed if you follow the
instructions on How to Purchase, above. Also, this girdle was so firm
when it was new that I had to install two 6 inch bones in front to
keep my tummy from collapsing. You may not need this. |
| Leg Creep |
Moderate. The legs have a non-slip cuff to minimize
leg creep. |
