| 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. |
| Total Length | 18 inches |
| TTC | 10.5 inches |
| Leg Length | 7.5 inches |
| Approximate Cost | $72 |
| 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. |
