I am not a 3X size. By inches I am 1X-2X, but ordered this size to be on the safe side as I like to feel comfortable rather than constrained when working out. It is so very tight that I cut it to see if I could make it work and it is still uncomfortable. Very disappointed. 3 stars because the color is perfect and the fabric feel is really comfortable against your skin, not a harsh finish that some blends have.
