The only camisole that I wear on a regular basis (under a dress with a very low v-neck) is woven with no stretch, and it is shorter so no bunching is visible over the hip. It’s just going to BOING slide right off. It’s like trying to get an elastic headband to stay part way on a beach ball. I’m very pear-shaped and there’s almost 15″ between my waist and hip measurements that hip is a long slope and stretch camisoles don’t want to stay down. But if it’s stretched a lot, it’s going to roll or just slide up until it’s no longer under tension. And there’s some friction from undies that help it cling. When it’s just stretched slightly, it probably won’t want to wander much. ![]() It really is about geometry, stretch, and friction. That said, I have worn them in the past, and concur with April and Von that off-the-shelf camisoles rarely fit curvy hips or hourglass figures very well. I very rarely wear camisoles mostly because I don’t wear items low-cut or sheer enough to need them, and I don’t need the warmth most of the time. Do straighter figures prefer to tuck because it’s more comfortable on their body type? (Piggy backing onto what April said). Nordies brings out new camisoles every season. Von, have you tried Second Base camisoles? La Ped, tucking is a great solution, isn’t it. I wonder if a longer tighter camisole will prevent the rolling thing on a curvier body type? I’m with you on the fabric content. I like my camisoles tight on the hip area – otherwise they shift. Excellent in warm weather.ĭiana, interesting, and I’m glad you chimed in. But like you mentioned – they don’t keep you warm. LJ Taylor, the Second Base camisoles are fab. I like Hanro and Uniqlo Heattech camisoles too. Tanya, I know right? Those slippery synthetic camisoles role at the hems and it’s very annoying.Įliza, high five. Old Navy PowerSoft Sleeveless Shelf-Bra Support Dress (45, originally 60) This activewear dress is the definition of sporty-chic. Do you really think a straighter body type helps keep a cami in place? Old Navy Fit & Flare Linen-Blend Cami Midi Dress. What are your tactics for keeping camisoles in place?Īpril, interesting. I like to wear gentle shapewear under fit-and-flare dresses because it feels more insulating. In the Summer when I don’t wear hose with dresses, I tuck the camisole into shapewear. When I’m wearing a dress or skirt with pantyhose, I tuck the camisole into the pantyhose. When I’m wearing jeans, pants or a skirt, I wear my camisole over my knickers but tuck it into the bottoms. Silk camisoles are beautiful, but very slippery. I’ve tried wearing synthetic camisoles and the hems seem to roll more easily. The friction of the cotton and rayon grips your skin instead of sliding around like a slippery synthetic nylon, silk or the like. I have a strong preference for 100% cotton camisoles, or at least cotton-rich and rayon-rich camisoles. But don’t stretch or scrunch the camisole down or up to that length. I’ve found that a length with a hem that finishes one to two inches above the crotch point is dead right. LengthĪ camisole can ride up when it’s too short or too long. The straps of the camisole are in exactly the same position as the straps of my bras. ![]() They also perfectly cover my bras, so there is no strap irritation. There is no space for them to twist around my body. Some are body-con, and some are tailored.
