This is a hard-type girdle. The hem has non-slip material to prevent riding up. The crotch area is mesh, making it less likely to get stuffy. There is no pilling, and no damage to the seams; it's in beautiful condition. It has been home-cleaned. Size: 82 Waist: 78-86 cm Hips: 91-103 cm Material: Reofeel Lycra, etc. I am selling it because it no longer fits. Thank you.
