This blouse is very flattering. I like the way it shapes my waste without showing the unflattering side of extra weight. Most tops I have found are not really shaped very well for heavier women and seem to be very boxy with no shape, just more fabric. I’m 5’1 and weigh 170 so most of my weight is in my mid section but this top still give a little shape and actually trims my appearance. I purchased a large and it fit perfectly.
