Okay, so I finally caved and bought this shapewear tank after seeing so many rave reviews. And let me tell you - it's a game changer!
First off, the compression is *chef's kiss*. It smooths everything out without feeling like a medieval torture device. I can actually breathe while wearing it - revolutionary concept for shapewear, right?
The built-in bra situation is genius. I'm a 36DD and was skeptical, but it gives enough support for everyday wear. Though if you're looking for serious lift, you might want to layer with a regular bra.
Pro tip: Size up if you're between sizes! I usually wear medium but went with large and it fits perfectly - snug but not sausage-casing tight.
The fabric is surprisingly breathable. Wore it all day running errands in 80°F weather and didn't feel like I was in a sauna. The lace detailing is cute enough that I've even worn it as a regular cami with a cardigan.
Only con? The pads are kinda pointless - they immediately folded up on me. But easy fix - just took them out and no one's the wiser.
Seriously considering buying another in nude now that I know how good this is. 9/10 would recommend to anyone who wants to look snatched without sacrificing comfort!
