I see that the camis are of two different lengths, and you may need one length more than the other. (I am currently realizing that I have very few longer-length tops, so length issues are fresh in my mind.)</p> <p>I think both of them are great, and I'm going to check out your link right now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ivory-tanks---interesting-detail-vs-simple-basic#post-1092608 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 01:31:11 +0000 Marmee 1092608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1. &nbsp;I like the lines and length, and agree with others about the bra issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ivory-tanks---interesting-detail-vs-simple-basic#post-1092588 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 01:14:20 +0000 Aida 1092588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 and I would probably still try it with a semi-tuck as well as over a slim pencil skirt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ivory-tanks---interesting-detail-vs-simple-basic#post-1092352 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 21:45:09 +0000 Anonymous 1092352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a strong preference for #1. It looks like it would be more versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ivory-tanks---interesting-detail-vs-simple-basic#post-1092347 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 21:42:40 +0000 Aleta 1092347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for #1 from me. I like the neckline, I&nbsp;like that you can wear a bra with it (spaghetti straps = strapless bra = uncomfortable for a long day), the detail is pretty without being girly and it looks cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ivory-tanks---interesting-detail-vs-simple-basic#post-1092262 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 20:33:53 +0000 Anonymous 1092262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting basic sounds like the mid range she talked about. I am a geek and listed all of my clothes in the appropriate column so I knew how many basics vs mid range vs statement tops I had. </p> <p>It was very clear to me why it was hard to get dressed....everything I was buying was a statement. </p> <p>Good luck in your search! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ivory-tanks---interesting-detail-vs-simple-basic#post-1092206 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 19:45:21 +0000 texstyle 1092206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first one for several reasons. I think some basics *should* be more interesting - depending on how you really plan to wear them. If a cami is for under something else, well, that's easy - basic is what works. If it's a stand alone piece, than it should look like more than a cami to me and #1 does this. Plus you can wear a regular bra with #1 so it works really well on it's own.</p> <p># 1 has the "floaty" look to me, so that's another of your criteria that makes it work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ivory-tanks---interesting-detail-vs-simple-basic#post-1092204 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 19:42:55 +0000 deb 1092204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote #1 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ivory-tanks---interesting-detail-vs-simple-basic#post-1092196 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 19:36:50 +0000 bj1111 1092196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love love love #1,&nbsp; to do a faux or semi tuck, i would tuck only the bottom layer.</p> <p>#2 looks like underwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ivory-tanks---interesting-detail-vs-simple-basic#post-1092194 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 19:34:06 +0000 JillG 1092194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I noticed that #2, though made of poly, is dry clean.&nbsp; That would be a deal breaker for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ivory-tanks---interesting-detail-vs-simple-basic#post-1092192 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 19:32:24 +0000 Mo 1092192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was hoping for floaty but I guess it's more boxy . . . back to the drawing board. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ivory-tanks---interesting-detail-vs-simple-basic#post-1092190 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 19:31:45 +0000 annagybe 1092190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would prefer simple, but I don't like the second one, for the reasons that Zap stated and the spaghetti straps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ivory-tanks---interesting-detail-vs-simple-basic#post-1092188 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 19:30:23 +0000 Mo 1092188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zap it's this one&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/lush-chiffon-camisole-juniors/3567206?origin=shoppingbag">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/lu.....hoppingbag</a>&nbsp;and should hit my hipbone at 22". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ivory-tanks---interesting-detail-vs-simple-basic#post-1092184 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 19:28:30 +0000 Mo 1092184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have, actually. &nbsp;I like to straddle the line and have 'interesting basics' lol. &nbsp;Not always possible, and don't always work out as planned . . . hence the question </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ivory-tanks---interesting-detail-vs-simple-basic#post-1092183 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 19:28:20 +0000 Anonymous 1092183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you are debating between the two you posted,I'd go with #1. If a hypothetical, I'd go with the simple one. In the example, #2 is too short and boxy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ivory-tanks---interesting-detail-vs-simple-basic#post-1092181 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 19:26:24 +0000 Anonymous 1092181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to buy both of them for myself.
