camis for larger cup sizes...

My best friend is a D and I am a C We Both Love express camis. They give her a lot of support.

like not wearing a bra support? I wouldn't do that but i know someone made camis last year with a built in underwire bra. I can't remember who though. It was a mall store.

Didn't Gap make some with molded cups? NY&Co did, too.

LSU- Shelf bra is what I'm thinking of. Just some basic stretchy cotton blend (should have stated that before) camis to wear *under* other things instead of a bra and cami in the summer when it's 200 degrees here in Arizona (not that far off-- 80 degrees here lately!). I was just wondering if anyone's heard of some super supportive shelf bra cami. I just hate my bra straps showing and I haven't found a bra w/ super skinny straps that's comfortable.

Guess I'll try Express and NY&Co and Gap. Thanks!

I second this. I'm a C and I buy only Express camis because they are the strongest as far as support goes. Although maybe give Abercrombie a shot as well. I have a cami with shelf bra from there that I live in.

Garnet Hill makes camis with a built in underwire. They are a little bit pricey but they are worth it.

Oooh, those Garnet Hill ones are perfect! $44, though...hmmm... Their stuff is usually very good quality, though. I'll have to try Express first, but those look very promising. Thanks.

And a question about the Express cami's. Are they long? Because I'm tall (5'10") and my height mixed w/ my ta-tas usually makes tops like that a little short.

rlutz · Chanel

oh...I am going to have to try those Garnet Hill ones....I have never been able to find a cami with enough support to not have to wear a bra...36D...I think I might try those

JackieO527 · Dooney & Bourke

Yes they give no bra support. They arent that long though. They come to the top of my jeans.

Several years ago I had shoulder surgery and could not wear a bra for a few weeks so I wore 2 Exress camis at a time layered and it gave me plenty of support. One alone I feel is not enough for my C's
