This is a very flattering and comfortable top. I have a less than slender middle, and this styling hides a multitude of sin. The "sleeves" cover the upper arm perectly so there's no reason to be self-conscious.  I am returning this particular dip-dye style for a solid because the defining line of the dye stretches right across my breast line, and it looks really odd (this accounts for the less than 5 star rating). If I pull it down, the neckline doesn't work, if I pull it up, the ruching unbunches -- and I definitely don't want that! So the dip-dye just doesn't work for my body. I expect that the solid will be perfect in that it can sit comfortably and flatter the shape of my body. I highly recommend this clothing, and I would absolutely buy it again in different colors if I need to.
