I just thought I would share about my most recent purchase. I have been stalking the Uniqulo bra tops because I have long wished for more clothing that had bras built in. So many camis and dresses have the "shelf bras" which I can't imagine are good for most body types - it seems like bustier women don't get the support and smaller busts like mine don't fill them out enough to get by without thicker cups to up the modesty factor. Anyway, I was intrigued by the Uniqulo ones because they actually have soft cups built in. I looked at the photos and read the reviews, and when the price went down to about $15, I bought a nude one and a white one. I opted for small instead of medium, but it was a risk. I knew that I'd only wear them under tops or dresses, so I wasn't so worried about how tight the tummy would be... But some of the reviews said they were heavily padded and people who wear small might want medium. I think that I'm going to be really happy with the small - there is no way that they are "heavily padded" - just a thick enough padding to keep anything from showing thorugh, but no "push up" factor. For reference, I wear a 4-6 on top and my bra size is 34-B. My actual measurements are 32" under the bust and 36" across, which technically puts me in the A category (according to something I read) but for some reason the only bras that fit are 34-B. The draw for buying this was that I have a few tops that are sheer enough to need a cami, and I am tired of wearing a bra, cami and top (especially in my climate). I am very drawn to having one cami replace those two under layers. The photo shows the nude color cami which seems to be a good match for my skin tone, and then one of my tops over the cami. I can tell from the photo that the cups are definitely not as padded as the bras that I usually wear, so that will take a little adjusting to... The camis just came in the mail today so I haven't had a chance to actually wear them yet. But I wanted to give a review here because I couldn't find one detailed enough on the site, and thought others here with similar shape/size might be interested. They have gone up a little bit in price, but at $17.90 they are still discounted. I'm also kind of I intrigued now by the other bra tops and dresses (although I did read in the reviews that some of the tops had much less support than the camis).
