I used this at my wedding. It's shapewear from Wacoal. It comes with bra pads! I wore a wedding dress that went up to my armpits. I think it would be visible with a dress that has a large open back down to the waist. There are no noticeable stains, but there is some wear and tear. I hope that those who understand that this is a used item will purchase it. Stored at home, and home-cleaned. Type: Bustier Stains, tears, odors, etc.: None
