The Jockey no panty line underwear is my favourite. Not extremely beautiful but it works better than the most expensive stuff I've tried.&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't have the rolling up cami problem. But it reminds me of my "pumps and flats&nbsp;won't stay on my feet" problem. Others, reading about this issue,&nbsp;probably scratch their heads and wonder what I am talking about.&nbsp;Just a body type difference that is frustrating as all get-out to those who struggle with it and nearly incomprehensible to those who don't!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hourglassfigure-8---tops-riding-up#post-1333700 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 23:36:54 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1333700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not an hourglass by any means but the spandex ones scooch up on me too.

Getting one to lay flat over slick undergarments...losing battle!&nbsp; I always think that they need silicone strips at the bottom hem. </p> <p>I do have a TON of the Wonder cami's from <a href="http://downeastbasics.com/wondercamisole-2.aspx" rel="nofollow">DownEast Basics</a> though - They are also really long, but cotton.&nbsp; Affordable enough that I probably have 10-15 of them in assorted colors (I wear camis with everything it seems!)&nbsp; They don't roll so much because they're cotton and fairly grippy this company makes "modest" clothes, longer tees and such. I've never had a cami shrink or wear out and some of mine are 8+ years old. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hourglassfigure-8---tops-riding-up#post-1324996 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 00:56:45 +0000 Anonymous 1324996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This sounds familiar to me too. What I really hate is when I wear camisoles under dresses and they ride up so that it just looks like I'm really lumpy in the hips under the dress fabric. Which I kind of am, but not <i>that</i> much.</p> <p>I have some longer Target tank tops (I think they're Mossimo; they're a thick knit&nbsp;and come in a whole bunch of colors) that work better than a lot of other options, but I'm short, so the extra length may not be enough if you're taller. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hourglassfigure-8---tops-riding-up#post-1324987 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 00:53:07 +0000 Mo 1324987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Constant issue here. &nbsp;Short waist and shelf hip - maddening combo. &nbsp;Snug but not tight fit is the best solution I've found. &nbsp;Not spandex or stretch, just regular cotton in a somewhat stretchy knit. &nbsp;Of course, when these rare creatures of 100% cotton - just snug enough - camis or tanks dies in the wash I cry inside just a little. &nbsp;They are so hard to come by for some reason. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hourglassfigure-8---tops-riding-up#post-1324943 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 23:52:45 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1324943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep yep. Anything too loose or too tight rides up or rolls up. Perhaps we should call it the goldilocks cami problem. I don't have solutions, really, just commiseration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hourglassfigure-8---tops-riding-up#post-1324923 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 23:18:14 +0000 Anonymous 1324923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me too - anything with a lot of spandex and that's very body con is always rolling up and driving me nuts. &nbsp;I found a nice style by Jockey that is looser, almost an unfitted cami, knit jersey with a lace trim and adjustable straps. It is the only one I own that doesn't move around on me - and I think you and I have decided we have similar bodies (although I don't admit to knowing what 174 cm is off the top of my head :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hourglassfigure-8---tops-riding-up#post-1324902 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 22:47:01 +0000 Sal 1324902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I am tallish, 174cm. &nbsp;So many of them seem to sit right on my belly but ride up as I move around.<br />I will check both these out- thank you.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hourglassfigure-8---tops-riding-up#post-1324900 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 22:45:28 +0000 jenanded 1324900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you Kiwigirl! I have had success with Sportscraft camis... Also not sure of your height but recently loving english Long Tall Sally camis which are made for tall women. I tend to wear these under or for casual as the fabric is less smooth. The sportscraft are very smooth and I particularly choose these if they will/might peek out of a work or going out outfit... ps both ship to NZ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hourglassfigure-8---tops-riding-up#post-1324899 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 22:45:24 +0000 Janet 1324899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can relate. I'm short-waisted too, so it's a constant issue for me. I am loving fluid fits for this reason, but I suppose that's not much help if you're looking for a fitted tank. I hope someone else will chime in with something helpful, but I wanted to let you know you're not alone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hourglassfigure-8---tops-riding-up#post-1324898 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 22:44:39 +0000 jenanded 1324898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you Kiwigirl!
