Deffinately has a tight hold and smooths with out showing any weird lines but not the best tummy control. I have some others that slim more but this works better for very form fitting stuff because it won't show. Very long as well, I am 5'8 160lbs and the top goes rite under my bra line so petite girls beware maybe. Fabric is  a little on the thin side which is nice for not getting hot but may rip easily.
