Buying Camisoles with Attached Bras
Camisoles are my favourite piece of lingerie, probably because I own so many. It is the one piece of lingerie next to underpants that I wear everyday regardless of whether my outer clothing is formal or casual. Camisoles are important to me but one thing that really aggravates me when purchasing camisoles is the problem I have with my body shape.
My hips are a little bigger but my bust and waist are small so when I try on camisoles, if they do not have spandex, they ride up the back because they will not sit flat on the hips. But even greater than the rolling up, is the problem with camisoles that have their own bras. Basically, I can never find one to fit properly.
When the hip area fits, the bra band is always too wide so there is no point in having the attached bra. And I am sure I am not the only woman that has this problem with these supposed convenient camisoles.
I just took a quick look around and I see some basic camisoles that I like. But for example, this Cotton Shelf Bra Cami from One Hanes Place, comes in sizes S, M, L and XL. Now I would be inclined to order the XL because of shrinking and such but I just know when I get the camisole, the bra will be huge. How is anyone supposed to judge her bra size by small, medium and large? By the way, I am not knocking Hanes as I LOVE and wear their undershirts and sweatshirts because of the excellent quality, but one would think that with all this talk about women wearing the wrong bra size, that manufacturers in general could do better in making a Bra Cami.
Maybe some of you ladies out there can let me know what brands you wear. I would like to try them myself and subsequently write another article highlighting the companies that focus on custom sizing for camisoles that contain bras — a strange new trend in lingerie!
