This top is literally the softest top ever. Everyone wants to touch it LOL... It is also super flattering. When I first tried it on I thought something was wrong because the rusching is only on one side so it looked a little off. However after wearing it, it's very flattering. I have a large apron belly and I am over 200lbs and it made me look slimmer. Wish there were more colors to choose from. I ordered another because it's just such a great top. I would say it's almost a cooling effect. Hides
