Plus size layering camisole that is NOT slimming/spandex
March 11, 2017 10:08 AM   Subscribe

I'm having a hard time finding a simple camisole that isn't made to slim you.

I just want something in white and nude that skims the skin and can be worn under a white shirt when I'm not wearing a bra. In needs to be plus size and it doesn't matter whether it has a built in bra/shelf bra or not.

Everything I find in the stores is spanx or other slimming tops.

Major bonus points if it on amazon two-day shipping!

Best answer: Lane Bryant has some plain white tanks that are cotton. I'm wearing one right now under a sweater. :)

Best answer: I'm well into plus-sized territory and I've had great luck with the largest sized cami tanks from the Gap. The modal ones are perfect.

Best answer: Old Navy has great camis that go up to XXL and they have true plus sizes online. I'm wearing the new tunic Cami and it's super comfy. Fitted but not tight.

Seconding both Gap and Old Navy - I have a few from each and they are awesome. :)

Cami Camisole Built in Shelf BRA Adjustable Spaghetti Strap Tank Top Plus Sizehttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BSE0I90/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_2IgXybPRVPW43

These are $10 each on Amazon and come in 32 colors. They are really good quality. I probably have 20 of these. I now have a camisole for almost any shirt I want to wear. For my most-worn colors, I have two! These are true to size and nice and long. I'm 5'9 (with a short torso) and they hit me at thigh crease pulled to full length. Also, I have washed these many times with no signs of wear and tear yet.

I've had good luck finding tank tops of many different colors at Walmart. They are plus size (last time, I found several 5x and 6x tops) and are not spandex or any other type of slimming top. They are great as a layer under transparent shirts, though. They wash okay... they'd likely be better if I remembered to pull them out of the dryer and hang them. Or if I ironed them.

I haven't ever paid more than $2 each.
