Ok, so I tried on Spanx a few weeks ago and was sadly disappointed because I looked exactly the same. Let me also tell you, I am a size 4, but I am a petite person, so I don't have that "hourglass" figure. I have a short torso, therefore, I still have a "pooch" and want to get rid of it because my dress is fitted. Spanx didn't help give me a flat stomach. I was told by someone that Spanx won't do that, but a "waist nipper" will. Anybody ever tried one? Here's a link to one that I'm looking at.

It doesn't help that the darn models are always 6 ft tall and I'm barely above 5 ft tall, lol.
Also for reference, here's a picture of me in my dress. I want to get rid of that belly/hip tightness bulge.
