That's why I love the Nic &amp; Zoe ones. They hit way higher than any tank I've tried. The length is shorter than most tanks. I have never tried the regular sizes. The fabric is thick with some spandex. They better be top quality for the price! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-of-essentials-basics#post-1702673 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 13:57:07 +0000 Author Linda 1702673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second your experience with the Caslon tee. I debated between L and XL, and ordered the XL (always err on the side of too big than too small, sez this size 16 girl). It arrived yesterday and the fit is just right. Great reviews. Looking at those tanks now.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-of-essentials-basics#post-1702595 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 11:07:51 +0000 kerry 1702595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great reviews - thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-of-essentials-basics#post-1702592 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 11:05:39 +0000 kkards 1702592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DonnaF --can i ask a question about the petite tanks? i have an issue with most tanks, the scoops are low and the straps are long, do you know if the petite's are smaller at that part or are they just shorter?<br />and yes, the&nbsp;vagaries of sizing, even in the same brands, and similar items, are annoying.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-of-essentials-basics#post-1702405 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 01:55:25 +0000 DonnaF 1702405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I generally have to size down on Caslon Ts (to PXS), especially if they have a wide or low neckline.&nbsp; In the first T which I swear I've bought before, I needed a PS because the shoulders were cut very narrowly.&nbsp; In the second striped Angie Pick, I need a PXS.&nbsp; Go figure.</p> <p>Nordstrom recommended to size up on the Nic + Zoe tank.&nbsp; And yes, the PS fit more like my three other Nic + Zoe tanks in PXS.</p> <p>The slip was quite a disappointment.&nbsp; It is quite long at least on short me.&nbsp; I quite like Halogen's laser cut half slips, however.</p> <p>Due to laser cut Maidenform hipster briefs I bought years ago, I swear by laser cuts to avoid VPL.&nbsp; I have Commando cotton ones (wearing out by the stitching a little too soon for the price), Shimera ones I got at the Rack (okay but a little thin), and Halogen mesh ones (very thin so they can bunch up).&nbsp; I haven't tried these on, but noticed that they are cut slightly differently from the Halogen mesh ones.&nbsp; I think my favorites for bum coverage and staying in place will continue to be the Maidenforms that I probably picked up at Ross or someplace like that. </p>
