This is okay for wearing around the house but it's WAY too thin to wear in public. I can see right through it in my bathroom so I can't even imagine what folks could see if I were standing in the sun! I don't even like taking my dog outside in this (I live in an apartment complex so there are people around). I tried it on and the fabric was shiny and beautiful but after I washed it so I could wear it, it looked pretty worn and ragged before I even got it on. I washed it in cold on the hand-wash cycle and hung it to dry but not by the straps, I hung it over a towel rack to prevent the straps from stretching out. I wondered when I was looking over the review pics why some looked shiny and some didn't. Now I know! It looks like an old t-shirt that's been worn and washed a thousand times. ALL the shine is completely gone (needless to say), which is fine, I didn't want it to look shiny anyway. However, I've worn it all day now and it's also wrinkled to high heaven. It looks like I picked it out of the hamper and pulled it on. I give it three stars for the comfort and sewing workmanship as it does seem well-made, but I can't see paying $23 for a rag to wear around the house.

The form does look somewhat cute but I'm not finding that it hides any bulges, either. I didn't think it would and I don't really mind that much, I'm just mentioning it for others who may have gotten the impression it does. I'm thinking of returning it but I want to have my daughter take a pic of me in it outside in the sun first so I can tell if it's decent enough to wear in public.

I took some pics myself in my bathroom to show how thin it is, and also how it fits me. I'm 5'4", 173 lbs, and this is a Large. I carry my weight fairly evenly but I had a big bum before I gained weight and it's gotten bigger as well as the rest. As another reviewer mentioned, if your bum is your best feature, this shows precious little of that. A belt helps, though I'd feel tacky wearing a belt with this considering it looks like a well-sewn rag.

In my photos, most are with the white sports bra I was wearing. I can't even imagine going out in public in a regular bra, even this skin-toned one (in the belt photos). Practically the whole bra shows in the back, and quite a bit from the front and sides. I COULD wear something over the shoulders but then, what's the point of wearing something comfortable if you have to completely strip before using the bathroom? I'm ALL about comfort. I wear sneakers and leggings EVERYWHERE but this amount of indecency is not in my comfort zone.
