MaidenformWomen's Shapewear Cami Tank Top, Tummy Control & Back Smoothing

It's always a gamble shopping for clothes online. I'm 5'4", 115 lbs 34DD. I thought this concept of a shapewear tank top was pretty cool. I bought it with a little pink cardigan and thought it would look cute together. I was right! What a flattering shirt. I would say it's a bit small, although I'm not quite sure I would go to a medium. At first I didn't think I was going to be able to get it over my chest, but once I did it was actually pretty comfortable. Yes, it is tight and was a struggle to get on, but remember that shapewear is SUPPOSED to be pretty damn, that's the whole point. Beauty is pain. And I actually think it's pretty comfortable.My favorite thing is how FLATTERING it is. It totally flattens my tummy, accentuates my curves and makes my chest look nice. I've read on here that you need to wear a bra under it....well, for me, I'm a 34DD and I do NOT need a bra. A bra would not fit for me under this. In my opinion, if your bra can fit you're not doing it right. It should be really tight and be tight enough for chest support. And by no means does it look promiscuous on me. It's tight and flattering but not really any cleavage even though I'm pretty large chested.Another bonus is this looks just like a normal, flattering tank top under something like a cardigan or jacket. Now the tan color might look a little too much like shapewear, but the black and white are great. Really like this top and the price is great!

Don’t waste your time buying all of the other weird name control tanks and underwear tummy shapers. I’ve tried several others because they were slightly cheaper and thought the underwear tummy control would still work well.I haven’t found one underwear tummy control that is comfortable and doesn’t roll at the top when you sit. All of them are always too tight around the top thigh area and the material is never soft in the crouch area. They also don’t provide enough tummy control.I have about 6 of these in black, white, and beige. Maidenform brand works the best in terms of softness, shape control, and overall quality. They also never slide or roll up.Only downside about shape control tanks is you can get pretty sweaty in them and if you want to look super busty, these aren’t going to be good for that unless you also want to wear I push up bra underneath them. I don’t mind the flat chested look.They’d actually probably be great for gender queer folks who are looking for other options to binding. They won’t make you completely flat chested, but they definitely flatten the top area quite a bit.

Here is the skinny. I purchased one a month ago. I am 5 foot 3 inches and 150 lbs. I purchased a size medium. I usually like to wear a size large in shirts. Initially, it fit pretty snug. You want to put it on from the bottom up (step into it and pull up). I wear it daily under all my clothes. As a result, it is stretching over time. Now, I wish I had gotten a size small. I love the length and it is super comfortable for everyday wear. It does an okay job at smoothing out some lumps and bumps around the waist however, don't expect it to be like a girdle. If you want a perfectly smooth torso, you need to get a more robust undergarment. This won't meet those needs. I am not overweight and am pretty small wasted to begin with so this works for me. I would not have purchased it if I were a different body type. It definitely is not for women with bigger hips. Also, it is looser in the chest area but still seems to hold them in nicely. I am a 36 C.

This is tough- after reading the comments, i still bought this in a XXL. I've have bought this SAME cami in XL and even L, but I've gained some weight and although the XL still fits, I thought the XXL might be more comfortable. It's not. This is so tight, I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it. It's sad, because that means Maidenform has most likely made a change in how they make these. I know they are supposed to be snug, but the XL have always fit, just a bit snug like shapewear should be. This XXL should not feel this much smaller than the XL.

Writing a review for shape wear is not something I would ever expect that I would WANT to do, but I love this tank so much, I feel like I have no choice! Most shape wear makes you feel like an unhappy sausage in a casing---you strain to get it on and then it engulfs you in a vise-grip that usually allows only minimal oxygen to get through to your lungs and innards. Worse, despite that body-numbing stronghold, there's that lovely tendency for the firm encasement to actually roll off...or up...or down....your rolls...causing much unhappy tugging and pulling and discomfort. Your skin feels unnaturally hot from the vicious fabric used, and you feel hateful as the day goes on! THIS SHAPE WEAR DOES NONE OF THAT!!!!! Even though I briefly worried that I may have ordered a size too small when I slipped the tank over my head, I found that it went on comfortably. Once it was on....HEAVEN!!!! I could sleep in this baby! Really!!!! It's SO comfortable--silky soft, stretchy, and feels like your favorite jammies! (Is this really shape wear????) I pulled the bottom of the tank around my lower back/upper rump and put my shirt on. The determination....smooth, nice, definitely does it's job! This is all really good, right? There's more....despite moving/shifting/bending/stooping/sitting, the bottom of the tank does not move. Is that not seriously the best thing ever? I tucked it in my pants and it's still there...no shifting. Unreal! The elastic they use is wonderful because it doesn't bind or cut off circulation...it just stays put! WOW! And, despite the summer heat, I feel cool and comfortable and happy! No crankiness here...I'm content! I almost wonder if this is how dogs feel when their owners put them in a Thundershirt. I can relate now! So, would I recommend these tanks? Definitely yes!!!!! And, I'll be going back to order one in every color!
