The perfect cami?

15 replies

I'm away over Easter and fancy a slight change to my normal summer wear. I Think I'm after the perfect Cami, that can deal with hot, sweaty weather, small boobs, slightly floaty to skim over tummy area, but tight enough at top not to give everyone an eyeful of aforesaid small boobs. Has anyone got something similar that's tried and tested?

I should add - the straps adjust.

The primark ones aren't bad, well, last year's weren't. They're triangle shaped at the top to provide enough cover and aren't dipped too low so no danger of sideboob! £2-3 each too

Thanks ilove, they're a beautiful shape, but I think I'd prefer plain or a smaller pattern. Also, quite a lot of money for polyester?

Staygold I have loads of Primark ones I wear for layering, you're right, they're fantastic, BUT a little tighter than I'm looking for now. unless the ones I have are different, which is totally possible.

I have four of those Ted Baker ones, I love them so much. I struggle with camis and vests because I'm small of boob but these are the perfect fit. No bra flashing, it's great!

The polyester thing doesn't bother me; you can rinse them out in the sink and hang them up over the shower and when they're dry they're ready to wear, great for travelling. They don't crease during wear either. Also if you wait until House of Fraser are doing their one of their many brand events you can get a good 20% off online.

The primark ones I have are quite loose, though that may be because I'm generous of boob and bought them in the size up!

The Ted Baker ones aren't the sort to lose their shape, i think they'll always look new. I have a very pale pink one, a lovely bright orange, and a patterned one which i love with a black cardi and black skinnies. They really are fab, well worth the money. Craic is right - wash well and dry v quickly.
