I'm a medium build, at least as far as men's sizes go. I have a long torso for my height, but usually buy women's large tops, especially in the shapewear. The medium in the Bali style 8623 would be too constricting for me under the axilla (armpit but that is such a nasty sounding term), partly since I've been doing P90X workout consistently now.

For comparison, I am 5'-9.5" and a muscular 160 lbs with a solid a-cup. I usually buy 38A or B bras. If I am buying a blouse or shirt that I want to be a little on the baggy side, I need to go up to a women's XL. A men's large is usually very baggy on me, which I need to consider now for any future t-shirt purchases.

Hope that helps.
