I'm a professional costumer and I make a lot of spandex unitards (dance costumes, superhero suits, etc). As you may imagine, the pursuit of good underwear is a lifetime saga for me.

Full disclosure: I'm 5'6" and athletic from years of martial arts. I have no tummy or muffin top to speak of, but like all healthy women I have a layer of fat under my skin. And most underwear creates lumps at the edges--that's just a fact.

This lightweight singlet does not compress--it smooths everything from shoulders to mid-thigh. I can wear my own bra with it, for push-up. For dresses that are deeply plunging at the neckline, the stretchy nylon bust of this singlet controls the jiggle enough that I don't need a separate bra. (I am an athletic B/C cup, so other ladies may not be able to exercise this option.)

In short, this singlet is darn near a perfect solution for me. I've already recommended this to all my costuming clients, and I'm going to buy a second one ASAP.

When choosing your size, keep in mind that no "slimming" bodysuit is going to make you skinnier, despite what the advertising implies. If you wear something too tight it will squish all the appealing curves into a vague sausage-shape.

Also, knit fabrics like nylon tricot ("spandex") distribute their stretch in four directions. If you stretch it 75% widthwise, it can only stretch 25% lengthwise, which contributes to the shoulder-strap digging other reviewers have reported. So if you have any doubts about your size, order a size up. If you are thin but tall, order a size up. If you are petite but well-padded, order a size up.

In all, this is a great product for women who don't need or want a lot of compression.
