I have an athletic build, 5'6 130 and wear a size s/m typically; 4/6. I do not really need the tummy control part, I just wanted the "bunched" fabric look. So for me this has too much fabric in the midsection and felt too big There's plenty of room in the middle, I would have loved this when I was pregnant! The bottom is a great bikini-cut with plenty of rear coverage, not loose or baggy at all.
