Sculpting Modern Tank Bodysuit
About Good American’s tops: Good American built its tops business on sculpting bodysuits — compression knits meant to smooth and stay put — alongside softer modal-rib and jersey basics, all cut across an unusually wide size range.
Is the price honest?
Our take
The Sculpting Modern Tank Bodysuit is Good American's signature compression piece: a square-neck tank bodysuit in a double-knit stretch fabric with thong coverage, built to smooth under denim and skirts. Owners like that it stays put and reads as a real top rather than shapewear, and editors regularly shortlist the brand's bodysuits. Two honest caveats: the sculpting fabric runs small — retailer guidance says order a size up — and a 3.3-star average across 60 reviews at one major retailer shows sizing misses are common.

Write the first honest reviewThe details
- Material
- Good American lists the fabric as 78% Nylon, 22% Elastane — a double-knit compression stretch rather than a thin jersey.
- Fit
- Square neckline, curve-hugging compression, thong back. The sculpting fabric runs small; retailer guidance is to order one size up, especially for all-day wear.
- Quality
- The double-knit fabric is substantial and smooths reliably, but a 3.3-star average across 60 reviews at a major department-store retailer points to mixed owner experiences, mostly around sizing and how tight the compression feels.
- Best for
- Best for anyone who wants a smoothing, stay-put layer under jeans or a blazer and will trade hand-washing for real compression.
- Care
- Good American says hand wash cold or dry clean — more upkeep than a typical knit bodysuit, so factor that into everyday rotation.
Fit check: Good American
Varies by lineOwners say the denim fits true to size despite looking tiny off the body, while the sweats and outerwear are cut oversized.
Across independent reviews the denim story is consistent: the jeans look alarmingly small off the body but stretch to fit true to size once on — one long-form reviewer's advice is to "order your true size rather than sizing down." The recurring caveat is Good American's combined size bands (e.g. 6-12): a Yahoo tester at the top of her band found the Always Fits pair "snug, especially through the hips and thighs," and reviewers who sit between sizes report some styles running slightly small. The sweats line reads the opposite way — pieces are deliberately roomy, with "extra fabric in the arms to create an oversized vibe," and owners size down when they want a closer fit. Fit reports on jackets and the shacket are mixed, so per-style checks matter most outside the denim.
Sizing advice: Take your usual size in the jeans even though they look tiny off the body (size up only if you're at the top of a combined size band); in the sweats, size down for anything other than an oversized fit.

How Good American tops hold up overall
Independent coverage of Good American's tops line centers almost entirely on its bodysuits. A Forbes fashion-team roundup picked the ribbed cotton bodysuit for its soft, breathable construction and notes shoppers say it runs true to size, while a style blogger calls the jersey tank bodysuit one of her most-worn pieces from the brand, reporting that the smoothing stretch fabric isn't see-through and works as an all-day base layer. A multi-person team try-on likewise reported the bodysuits fitting true to size in reviewers' usual sizes. Reports on the rest of the large tops range are scarce, and long-term durability feedback is essentially absent.
- Strengths
- The compressive, smoothing bodysuits draw consistent praise from reviewers as comfortable, opaque base layers that don't need constant re-tucking.
- Watch out for
- Third-party reporting barely extends beyond the bodysuits, so most of the wider tops range is unvetted and there is little published feedback on how the fabrics hold up over time.
- Sizing
- Bodysuit reviewers consistently report ordering their usual size and finding the fit true to size.
