Camisole under wrap dress?

11 replies

Is a camisole under a wrap dress ok or a bit naff? I ordered 2 wrap dresses from Boden and the prints are gorgeous but they are so low cut I couldn't wear them anywhere! Is a lace camisole a good solution? Or do I send back?

I have big boobs and would probably be arrested for indecent exposure if I wore a wrap dress without a camisole. I buy the stretch cotton ones from Primark for about £3. I have them in nude and black mostly although I have a couple chosen to tone with particular dresses.

im not sure about a lace one though - maybe with the right dress for a formal do. I think lace might be a bit much for day wear.

i also have nude and black turtle neck jumpers (also Primark)that I layer under wrap dresses for winter wear with boots.

Another recommendation for stretch vest tops under a wrap and I have a collection of primark ones, bought in bulk a few years ago and still going strong. They form a good base under a shirt too, so certainly have earned their cost over the years.

As above, I use the Primark vest tops.

I'd wear an M&S cool comfort slip, or if appropriate add a safety pin or press stuff to hold the wrap together

I bought a wrap dress which actually came with a thin jersey under-dress so I'm safe from rogue gusts of wind too.

So it's a yes from me.

Yes to a camisole but no to lace - thats a very outdated look!

I safety pin it (takes more than one safety pin) so it's not low cut

Yes I wear one of these under a shirt dress and wrap dress

I’ve got loads of vests and cami tops for this very reason.

Another one for M&S slips, I have plain white & black + a black lacy one from a few years ago. Makes the dress hang nicer too imo, less clingy to lumps/bumps.
Too much cleavage is a no-no for me.

M&S do a three pack of vests for a tenner, lovely . and yes a pin!!
