THUNDER STARWomens Modal Built-in Bra Padded Camisole Yoga Tanks Tops

I finally lost enough weight to need new tank tops with a bra shelf. Right now I'm about a size 12, bra size 36C. The 10-12 (XL) fits me now but slightly snug for my taste. But in another 5 lbs more or less, it'll be perfect and the cups will still work. The cups are more like a curved light padded area sown into a shelf, so very flexible for a lot of different cup sizes. Don't expect support, no tight under band, but it's exactly why I love it. I don't wear a bra (66 and no bra for 45 years and no they don't sag) but do need something for modesty at times. Since I live in a hot climate I wanted cool, breezy, and not constricting. This fits the description, modal is so much better than poly, I just need to lose a little more weight. And the blue! I look better in warm colors and this blue works great. It's not a cooler cobalt but still bright.

tl;dr: Great if you have a small bust and hate bras but want to look like you're wearing a bra. Not as comfy as free-nipping it, but close.The pandemic led me to give up bras since they're uncomfortable, and I've never needed bust support (32C or 32D depending on weight fluxuations). I have some pretty bad sensory issues, and fabric texture is very important to me. Now, in professional situations, I wear either bralettes or this specific brand of camis because they keep me looking decent without feeling binding. I probably have about 10 of these camis at this point.The beechwood modal fabric is super soft, smooth, and cool. The neckline is also higher than the neckline on some similar bra-camis, so I feel comfortable wearing these by themselves while out and about in summer. My favorite are the spaghetti-strap style because the straps are adjustable, but I also have a couple of the more modest ones that fit pretty well.Caveats: Do not put these in the dryer. The heat will break down the foam cups after a couple cycles, and they'll permanently deform.The shelf part of the shelf bra is modal on the inside, but the actual cups are covered in a nylon pantyhose material. The seams around the cups can be slightly scratchy, and the foam cups trap sweat even though they are perforated for air circulation. It's not nearly as bad as an actual underwrite foam bra, but it's not as comfortable as a plain modal camisole without cups.The colored fabrics look better because the cups show through a bit on the Apricot and White tops.I also have a couple that are one size smaller. They're better under clothes but a little tight for wearing in public.

It took me forever to find a top like this and it was so challenging trying to find one online and pick the right size. After poring over so many reviews trying to discern what size someone with my height/weight/bra size should buy, I'm 5'6 137lbs and 36C (this varies depending on brand, style, etc. I have worn various garments anywhere from 34-36 B-C comfortably so there's that confusing factor!After reading reviews for this garment i selected a Large and it seems to be the right choice. I just tried the black and the gray on and they both fit great. I almost thought they were going to be too small but once I adjusted the shoulder straps to the largest setting these shirts are very comfortable and they are form fitting without feeling tight. I think they're looking quite attractive on. I have posted pics of the gray only because it shows the fit better. The fabric is soft and almost silky and very stretchy. The padded cups do not fully cup my breasts but because of the elastic shelf, they don't need to and offer a fair amount of support which is about what I expected. I might not be doing any long jogs in these but i feel like it's enough support for me to be pretty active. The whole reason I want shirts like this is because I'm trying to give up bras altogether. Let my lymphatic system do its thing and my girls breathe and bras just don't let that happen.Overall I'm surprisingly very pleased with this purchase. We'll see how they hold up after wears and washes.A couple of things to note, these apparently run small. I'm normally a size medium, sometimes even small in shirts and dresses and I've already mentioned I'm a 36C, 137 lbs 5'6 tall. Based on how these fit I probably could've gotten an XL and it would've worked but I like that these are fitting, NOT tight at all. Just saying to keep in mind if you like your clothes looser fitting go yet one more size up. Also probably don't expect these cups to fully cup your boobs. I don't think they're meant for that otherwise they'd be offered in sizes like bras. But probably do go larger than you would normally for bras and shirts.***Update 8.29.23 - just over 3 weeks after original review and pics. I still love these shirts. In fact I'm here to order 2 more because I find myself looking to wear them before I get to do laundry. They shrink just a bit after drying the first time but they still fit me great. I am going to order one size up just to see how that fits. Based on the cut and style of the ones I have and the fact that I'm often between sizes, I have a feeling (and hope) that both sizes will work for me. But I'll report back details to hopefully help my sisters out there find their right fit. Shopping for clothes online can be 🤯🤦‍♀️💩

The media could not be loaded. These did not work out for me. I wish they did because the sewn in cups are wonderful. Here are a few reasons:1. I ordered XXL because I know the Asian products often run small, and I'm a 38C in my favorite bra. These shirts are, in fact, too small. I was able to give them to my daughter who is a medium and 36C2. The fit is strange if you are bigger than 36C. The chest section is sewn too close together and I assume it is because when they sized up, they didn't take into account a chest will be wider, or they intended this to push boobs together or make cleavage. I bought this to stay cool, not to have my girls all up on each other. Besides, if you are chesty, this is not going to be supportive enough to go for the cleavage look. The shirt comes up too high in the front to show cleavage anyway.3. It is ever so slightly rougher than my other viscose clothing because it is a blend- not 100%. It is still soft though.
