What reviewers say: "I am obsessed with throwing on this unitard for workouts, walking, and just lounging around the house.
It really sucks you in and is some comfortable. I got a medium and it fits really well in the body - the only place I notice a little looseness is in the straps/front scoop at times. I have a short torso but this doesn't have too much extra fabric in the mid section for me.

They are buttery soft, super stretchy, flattering and high quality. I ordered one in black and instantly had to order two more. I rotate them daily.
