Can anyone suggest some camis that are good for a large chested (36DD) girl WITHOUT a shelf bra? Thanks for your help!

Georgia, can you tell us a bit about what your needs are in a cami? For example, for me, most camis have straps that are a little too long to provide good coverage, so I prefer adjustable straps. Also I like the length a bit longer.

More details would help, but I will tell you that I am enjoying the ones Angie recommends from Nordstrom's BP juniors collection. Very inexpensive and generous in length, but size up since they run small. The straps are not adjustable, but I have been able to deal with this since I like their other features.

If you like really soft and non-constricting camis, try the featherweight ones from J. Jill. The 'perfect' tank is also very nice, but does not come in petites if that is a concern.

I am the same bras size! I like the V-neck layering cami's from Old Navy:

The V-neck is more slimming to my ample bossom than a round neck is, they come in tons of colors, and they regularly go on sale.

I love these Esprit camis that I found at Sam's Club. They come with a V-neck with a very delicate and thin lace. A pack of 2 (diff.colors) cost 8$. Now, they do come with shelf bras BUT the bras are ridiculously easy to cut off since they are attached only along the lace at the neck line. I'm going back this weekend to get all the colors.

April-I love camis for layering but it seems like most either don't give me enough coverage or aren't long enough. I almost always feel like I'm either pulling them up to cover my chest or pulling them down because they don't have enough length.

chewyspaghetti-Those look promising! Maybe I'll give them a try.

Hi Georgia, is there an H&M near you? I bought two longer camis there last year, and they've held up quite well. Maybe it's worth having a look there too?

Inge-Unfortunatley, no, I don't live near an H&M. I live in the middle of the northwoods in Wisconsin. I've heard great things about H&M though.

Georgia, although I have a large bust, I am petite with a short waist so my problem is that camis are too long! The ON ones are great (especially since they are adjustable) but you might find them a little short. Gap, BR & J Crew make some good basic cotton ones (and Gap & BR offers them in petite sizing) but they are not adjustable. I've also seen some really cheap ones at F21 - cannot attest to the quality however. I have a couple of great ones with a wider strap from Zara but they are also a little low cut.

I recently bought my dd some cami's at F21- they are literally falling apart after about a month.

Here are the BP ones: http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/27.....rchresults

They are nice and long, just be sure to order a generous size.
