Its a great basic to have. The fabric is a tad thin, but it is double layered, so its not see through, at least in black. The material is soft, jersey like, cottony, with stretch. I will say, the fabric thinness means its really comfortable; however, it didnt have a lot of "hold" or "control" or "strength". When I wear body-hugging skirts or dresses, I like it to have some control on the tummy. So its just a consideration if your body type isnt too firm. Im 52", 165lbs, size 10/12 and bought a size XL, thinking it would be reduced sizing. It was a tad too large and I would have been good with an L (maybe the L would feel tighter around my tummy and have that hold I want). Since it is 95%cotton, Ill have to see if theres any shrinkage after washes.
