I really like this suit. I have an obscene amount of back fat on one side of my back due to some surgery that was done that must have cut a muscle or something, so finding a swimsuit top that hides the back fat is challenging. I found this style and was not disappointed! It comes up high enough on the back to keep everything tucked in. I had a skirt bottom from another suit I had, so I usually wear this top with that bottom, but like that I can also wear the boy shorts that came with this top for variety. The design and pattern are very nice. I can't say it provides tummy control, but the top is blousy, so unless you have a very big belly, any tummy bulge is concealed. I may even buy another top for added variety. I bought an XL, due to being top heavy. I may have been able to go with a large, as the shorts are a little loose and the top is definitely not snug, but everything fits well enough without falling off.
