Stats: 5'9 220lbs 39inch waist...ordered an XXL. This garment was actually pretty nice feeling BUT as other reviewers have noted it's not terribly great as shapewear. The midsection in particular is very slack/forgiving and doesn't really bind you in. That being said I do think if you are looking for something is simply smoothing (to cover panty/bra lines but not necessarily suck you in) then this is the perfect garment for you.
