I'm a bit lumpy now, about 20 pounds lumpy on a 5'8' torso, and I was looking for an undergarment to smooth out the bra bumps, tummy, and muffin top (and as an extra layer for winter warmth). I did a lot of looking for mid range price, and positive comments from other users. For me, this isn't really so good. I find it flattens very much around the bust (was hoping to wear it without a bra, as it appears in the product illustration photo) and does not do much around the middle. In addition, it rides up over my hips, perhaps because it's better suited to shorter torsos; I'm long-waisted. Yesterday I had a physically active day and found when I got home that the bottom had crept up around my waist. I hadn't noticed it until I sat down and felt the discomfort of it. I find it is uncomfortably tight around the bust. It does add some extra warmth in a cold room, but there's better underwear for that. Alas,I won't be purchasing another one.
