I know people said this shirt was slimming but it actually is, in a way I've never experienced before. The material isn't the best and its very true to size, probably for a short to average torso. But the full effect is amazing. I was looking at it out the package skeptically, wondering if I should send it back but when I tried it on, honestly I thought I was loosing weight...crazy as it seems. I have a small waist with big boobs, but finding a shirt that accentuates both in a decent way is impossible, until now. My waist looks even smaller without my breasts looking as though I'm about to topple over. Great shirt I wish the material was softer but I can suffer through, and use extra softener.
