It needs to be tight fitting as it is to go other things and I've got quite enough lard lumps and bumps of my own without clothes making them. It also needs NOT to have the sort of elastic round the neckline that goes grey after lots of washes. Can anyone tell me where I would find such a thing?!

m and s

I got mine in Principles.

Uniqlo?

M&S
Thin strappy straps and the option of a v or round neck, depending on which way around you wear it.
I have many - I am incapable of owning a white top that isn't see through, they are marv.

m and s 5 pound camis-ythy are fab

Tried M & S but they were the sort of thick t-shirt material that's bulky or the ones in the lingerie department had the dreaded greying elastic! I will try principles

I'd try M and S. I got a great one last Summer to prevent inappropriate nork exposure under dresses and tops and it is still like new. Only about a fiver too

did you find the camis? not thick at all and not in the lingerie dep either

Oh...maybe I should look in M&S again... <sigh> the M&S at Bluewater is HUGE and scary

dOROTHY Perkins ?

M&S

I haven't found the elastic to go grey - even on the pink one.

some plain ones here amongst the crap!

this one. i ahe loads-they are brilliant for layering

Land's End, if you don't mind mail order.

I have these (M&S again) in several colours. They are fantastic and the slight v neck is flattering. The white one is still white (even with my rubbish chuck-it-all-in-at-40 washing habits).

top shop

People Tree Fair Trade one here - £10!

Oooh, maybe online M & S would save me a trip, what else could I buy to make up to the £30 for false economy free delivery

I am now modelling one from GAP. It is a tight fit and has in-built support, so no need of bra (well, if you are small to medium upstairs like me, that is). GAP does lots of camis.

kew
marks lingerie

I did wonder about kew. The m and s lingerie ones are what I have with greying elastic! I'm ordering the camisole ones people linked too and ordering dh a new work shirt <snore but he needs one> at the same time to get free postage! Hurrah. Thank you and I will hunt you down like dogs report back if the elastic goes grey

I got some from M&S

a fiver in tesco.

i think that is oyur washign technique

you ened vanish oxy action

My WASHING action! Take that back you blaggard <slaps fish with velvet glove>

Primark have them for a quid at the minute

I really like the vests in H&M. They currently have a smooth white cotton vest with a little elastane (helps it keep its shape) for £3.99. They have lots of other colours too.

SIL got me a nice one from Debenhams and it has adjustable straps.

If you look at Artigiano on-line, they have some sleeveless tops and camisoles that are double-faced at bust .... pricey though ...

H&M and wallis both do the smooth elastane-type ones with thin straps and thin hems, so best for under things.

And if you like extra length for covering muffin tops and the like under tops, go for the matty version - I still wear mine!

Actually, under dresses they also pull down nicely over your pants and give quite a smooth line!
