They are really good quality and tend to last a while. I snatch them up when they are on sale, usually a 2 for $xx. Sometimes even the basic colors go on sale if they are changing the style up a bit. They are nice and long. I also have found that they don't shrink. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/camis-and-tanks#post-16807 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 21:04:57 +0000 Jillian 16807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/camis-and-tanks#post-16782 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 18:11:35 +0000 Antje 16782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can only echo others' recommendations. I get mine at:<br /> -Express<br /> -Nordstrom BP department<br /> -J Jill<br /> -ATL<br /> The only other suggestion I have is to try Jockey online; I got a couple cute lacey ones in bright colors there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/camis-and-tanks#post-16767 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 15:24:08 +0000 katieck 16767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I also wear ON tanks to bed or over a sports bra for working out. I don't mind if they get ratty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/camis-and-tanks#post-16766 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 15:23:04 +0000 katieck 16766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I recently bought two camis (w/ shelf bra) at Express. Like Tanya said, they were two for $29, or something like that. They carry a ton of colors. I like them b/c they're long and hold me in place, mid-section wise. </p> <p>I have also bought camis at AT Loft. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/camis-and-tanks#post-16763 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 15:17:38 +0000 shiny 16763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't like the shelf-bra kind - give me oddly shaped breasts. I just wear a bra under, since I'm layering, nobody sees the straps. </p> <p>I find my camis at Ann Taylor Loft, Banana Republic, and H&#38;M. </p> <p>The BR ones are probably the best quality - they are synthetic blend so they suck you in and give you some smoothing &#38; tummy control. Also come in petite sizing, if you need that. I have basic white, cream, and black. </p> <p>H&#38;M is cheapest: I snapped up 5 in different colors there this summer, they were about 5 or 6 dollars each. Adjustable straps, a little satin trim along the top, long enough. We'll see how they wear over time. The colors were nice, and they do have a bit of stretch too (not as much as BR). </p> <p>ATL ones are softest, and offered in colors that complement their other clothes. Always good to buy a cami there if you are buying a top you want to layer. </p> <p>When my camis get old and ratty, I wear them to bed with pj bottoms. I have to tell you, most of my bedtime tops are Old Navy tanks. They don't wear well and got quickly resigned to pj wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/camis-and-tanks#post-16761 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 15:08:50 +0000 Anonymous 16761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Nordstroms. I also like Ann Taylor Loft camis (have self bra) which often can be found on sale. Look for a good long length in a light weight fabric you can bunch a bit to adjust length and adjustable lingerie straps are also a plus to get that cami right where you want it.</p> <p>Marianne, the Target tanks you mention also work for me because they are so long and not too low cut in the neck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/camis-and-tanks#post-16760 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 15:08:04 +0000 marianne 16760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Nordstrom BP ones. I haven't tried Target camis, but their Mossimo tanks actually work well for me.</p> <p>Tanya, next time I'm going to try Express ones, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/camis-and-tanks#post-16755 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 14:52:53 +0000 Tanya 16755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have had great luck with Express camis, and they usually come in 'two for $.." deal. Very durable and inexpensive. J Jill, H&#38;M, Nordstrom's BP department are also possibilities. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/camis-and-tanks#post-16754 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 14:49:25 +0000 Jillian 16754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been lurking for quite awhile but now have got up my nerve to chime in. You all inspire me with your knowledge, style and helpfulness. While lurking, I became confident I will get great advice without the harsh words that sometimes happen on-line. So here goes...</p> <p>As I look at my fall wardrobe, I need a refresh on camis and/or tanks. In the past I have tended towards either camis with built-in bras or Old Navy tanks. Other suggestions? Places to look for decent quality at a low price? (e.g., I've found Target camis are cheap but the straps loose elastic after a few washings) I'm looking for white (always), purple, grey... </p>
