It sounds like a lot of the poor reviews are due to bad fit. Im 54, 207, a 38G, definitely carry my weight in my belly, and a 3x fits like a glove! There is no elastic under the cups, but a quick strap adjustment made them perfect. The underside of the cups sits flush with my chest, and I could absolutely wear it with no bra, which I have never felt confident doing before. I got it to go under dresses and jumpsuits in which my bras would reaaaally be showing, but this just looks like a normal tank top. Ordering more!
