I've purchased control tops from this seller before on their website.  In the past, their products were so-so, stitching unraveled quickly, and one had to purchase more pretty quickly.  I noticed this style offered, which was new since my last purchase, so I decided to go ahead and order this style as well as the tank top version.

On receiving it and trying it on, the first thing I noticed was that it was a dual layer top, cotton spandex on the outside with a microfiber stretch layer on the inside.  Both layers had a plush and smooth feel respectively.  They go on fairly easy compared to the nylon stretch products I used to purchase from them in the sense that the old product used to stick to me and/or roll up.

This shirt has excellent compression qualities, and it stays put.  I'm not having to constantly tug at the front of the shirt to get everything in place again and again.  It holds its shape well too--doesn't lose its shape by the end of the day.

The only problem I have with it is that it is fairly thick so I feel that my pants feel tighter when I tuck this shirt as well as my regular shirt over it.  It definitely makes you feel warmer in general.

The cotton stretch outer layer is soft and plush.  Feels great, but it also makes whatever you're wearing over it stick to those places that you don't want it to stick, e.g. belly, chest, etc, so your shirt won't drape or float over your body properly.  I fixed that by turning the shirt inside out so the microfiber layer is on the outside.  You'll see the seams from outside your shirt, but that's not a big deal to me.

Next time, more than likely, I'll probably just pick up the microfiber version only without the cotton layer.  Otherwise, this shirt does an excellent job in controlling the chest section which was what I really needed.
