Dear Fashion People,
Today I went to the mall to buy a shirt. Just a shirt. Something girly and springy to put with my khaki capris, something dressier than the solid knit shirts that serve as my spring and summer uniform.
I looked and I looked and I have finally reached a breaking point on an issue that has bugged me for some time:
The camisole.
Everything requires a cami, seemingly by design. It's a vast layering conspiracy, and the salesgirls are in on it. I come out of the dressing room wearing a shirt that plunges down to there. "Is it supposed to be this low-cut?" I ask.
"Oh," she says, "just throw a cami under it."
So I try on something else. The bodice has a lot of eyelet-ish trim on it, and eyelet has holes. Holes, all over my abdomen, including one gaping open over my most impressive stretch mark.
"Oh," salesgirl says, "just throw a cami under it."
Round three. It looks like a safe-enough white shirt, until I put it on and realize it's almost completely sheer. Bridal-veil sheer.
"Oh," salesgirl says, (all together now) "just throw a cami under it."
But here's the deal: I don't want to throw a cami under it. I don't want two shirts. I want one shirt. My reasons are excellent:
1. I'm cheap and I'm out of closet space. A cami is one more thing to buy, launder, store and generally deal with. Let's keep it simple.
2. I live in Oklahoma. In the summer, it is hot. Melt-your-skin-off hot. Even-the-pool-water-is-too-warm hot. What's-wrong-with-the-A/C hot. If I have to endure that heat wearing two layers of clothing, I might be (*shudder*) tempted to remove the top layer, which brings me to point three...
3. Ever since I hit puberty, I have devoted a signficant amount of effort to making sure that my bra strap doesn't show. And even if your cami matches your bra, your bra strap shows. I don't like that. I suspect you would recommend I find a cami with a built-in bra, to which I respond that such bras were not created for women who have nursed four children, and that's all I have to say about that.
4. I'm a middle-aged woman. I'm not overweight, but still, I have a general layer of padding around my mid-section, and it is a cause of consternation. The last thing I want to do is add another layer of squishiness. Your cami fabric may be thin, but if I wanted to add two milimeters of thickness to my abdomen, I'd much rather do it at Krispy Kreme.
Perhaps you will say that you have introduced the cami as a "stylish accessory" which provides "fashionable layering options".
I don't believe you.
I think you want to sell two shirts.
And I'd march right up to Madison Avenue and tell you this in person, except I'm stuck in the dressing room in a see-through blouse.
Sincerely,
Shannon
Amen sister!

God bless you, Shannon, for this thoughtful, much needed post.

I second this opinion!!!
Even worse I despise that most camis have a built in shelf bra which does pretty much nothing in the line of supporting the girls. Wearing a bra under that is just torture. I end up with the elastic of the shelf bra sitting on top of the bottom edge of my bra, possibly right on the underwire.
Luckily I'm pregnant and with most of those shirts I can use a safety pin to 'move' the neckline of the faux wrap style shirt to a proper place.

I am so with you! I took my daughter shopping the other day and she bought a dress that required a cami under it. Of course the matching cami was $18.00!!

Camis have been off my radar since puberty- nevermind the breastfeeding! Once (in highschool) I wore one with a built in bra and then ended up spending the night at my friend's house at the last minute and not having a bra to wear to church the next day. And the came was pretty skanky by summertime then.
Posted by: lomagirl | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 02:08 PM
Bravo! Bravo! I am SO with you on this.
Posted by: Erin | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 02:11 PM
You are DEAD ON. However, I own 5 camis (3 white, 2 black) that I wear all the time. To answer the built-in bra question - just cut that whole layer out! My cousin taught me that - we're both from OK - we're smart. :) It feels a bit strange to take scissors to a brand-new shirt, but getting rid of that thing lets you tighten the straps for the amount of coverage you want. That built-in thing just drags the whole cami down as low as the outer shirt!
Posted by: Bethany | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 02:13 PM
I love your blog! How funny and so TRUE!
Posted by: sondra | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 02:13 PM
Oh, this made me LAUGH.
I layer with tanks from Old Navy. They're thin enough that they don't create an extra layer of heat, they adequately cover all strappage, and they're inexpensive. I adore them.
Posted by: boomama | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 02:13 PM
AMEN.
That is all.
Posted by: Chris | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 02:14 PM
I agree!!
Posted by: ter | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 02:15 PM
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! It's so hard to keep my post-nursing "ladies" corralled! The camis make everything worse!
Posted by: Sara | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 02:16 PM
Thanks for the laugh! Oh, the things we women go through to just get dressed!
Posted by: Laryssa @ Heaven In The Home | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 02:17 PM
I guess I drank the koolaid because I like camis. Specifically I like the older style ones from Lane Bryant that you can now only find at outlet stores. BUT - my sister just gave me a bunch of maternity clothes, and the Liz Lange maternity tanks are comfy, thin, and appropriately cover The Ladies.
Posted by: Mrs Lemon | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 02:18 PM
Oh, the vast, vast cami conspiracy you have just uncovered!
This post was so funny and spot on!
Posted by: Jo@Mylestones | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 02:20 PM
Awesome! Amen, sister! Sounds like a fashion dilemma we should put Melanie on for next week!
Posted by: Christine | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 02:20 PM
Hilarious. And TRUE. SO TRUE. I second every single word. Especially about the fact that whoever designed the built in bras has NOT nursed four babies.
Posted by: Amy Ellen | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 02:21 PM
Don't even get me started! Your post made me laugh. Let's start a petition.
Posted by: Jennifer McGuire | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 02:22 PM
OMG-you took the words right from my mouth. I was not raised to have some other shirt hanging from beneath my suit jacket either I hate it! Laughing and loving this post - and a built in bra cami is made for someone who doesn't need a bra to start with - let's get real! You are funny - thanks for the laugh!
Posted by: melissa | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 02:22 PM
Now I know I am old when I see these teenage girls walking around with 2 cami's layered and under both sets of straps are the bra straps. What happened to modest tops? I suppose they went out with the shorts that hid your underware!

From me, too!
Posted by: kris | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 02:27 PM
I totally agree! It seems everything cute requires another layer, or two, to make it modest. I am a simple girl and don't like having to try to mix and match and put on a million pieces of clothes, especially since I'm currently nursing and it's hard enough to be discreet messing with just one shirt.
Posted by: Kara | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 02:28 PM
Oh where have you been all my life - it's all marketing and they think we are all suckers... nope some of us still have some discernment!
Posted by: se7en | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 02:30 PM
AMEN, AMEN, AMEN!
I only nursed two babies, and those built in bras aren't for me.
And summertime, in Alabama, may juuussssttt be hotter than oklahoma- maybe.
Posted by: rhonda | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 02:30 PM
I am not fashion savvy.....you'll know that after you read this....so here goes...I love the spagetti strap strechy...thingies
with the built in bras thus eliminateing the need for a bra AND allows you to wear it under any top and they "hold you in" to a degree. I love them.....they are cheap... usually under $10 and if you buy white or beige or cream they go with pretty much any color. I have a dozen or so and love the way they keep both ends of your torso covered. God Bless, Pam, South Bend
Posted by: Pam | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 02:34 PM
Hear, Hear!! Amen Sister!!!
Posted by: JJ | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 02:35 PM
Love it! Kansas is hot like Oklahoma in the summers. Wearing a bra (cause the cami's just don't offer any support,) a cami, and a shirt just doesn't work in the summer. Then if I find a shirt I like finding a cami I like is almost impossible. I want one long enough to reach the bottom of the shirt and not just my belly button.
Posted by: Heather G | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 02:38 PM
I would so love to be able to buy shirts that didn't require a cami underneath...
Posted by: Blessed | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 02:42 PM
Here I sit in my cami/tank top with another shirt over it. It's not my favorite way to dress.
I agree with your post wholeheartedly.
Posted by: Laura | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 02:45 PM
OH, if only 'they' would listen to your wisdom and your plea. If only.
Posted by: Grateful for Grace | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 02:45 PM
LOVE IT!
Posted by: Rachel @ Surviving The Stores | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 02:54 PM
I never realized how many cami's I have in my closet until I read this post. Ugh, they tricked me into buying a shirt that doesn't cover me all, and then buying a second shirt to fix that problem!
I'm on a cami strike!

Posted by: Nicole Ross | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 02:57 PM
You make me laugh... out loud. Love it.
BTW sitting here in my "summer" top noticing it slips off my shoulder a wee and is a little low-ish. I was just wondering if I should go upstairs and, all together, "throw a cami under it."
Very timely post... next time I will shop a little more carefully.
Posted by: Lainie@ Mishmash Maggie | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 02:59 PM
Bravo! Amen! High Five! As soon as they started making shirts long again (because in years past, my issue was shirts that were short enough that when I reached above my head, my entire stomach was hanging out in the breeze) they seem to have made them less than modest. I can't dress me. I can't dress my daughters. And sadly, material to make my own clothes is more expensive than buying pre-mades.
Posted by: usedtobeme | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 03:03 PM
This made me LOL. I love it, and every word of it is so true!!

I'm right there with you about the heat and camis as Las Vegas is almost as melt the skin off of you hot as OK, except "it's a dry heat." (Picture a far side cartoon here with a bleached skeleton).
Camis with self bras don't fit and I can't seem to find any without.

Bravo and Amen Sister!!
Posted by: Courtney | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 03:37 PM
Amen and AMEN!!!
Although I will say that in certain situations I have gotten over the bra strap situation. Usually for things like gardening or hanging around the house. I cannot go without a real bra.
Posted by: Headless Mom | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 03:37 PM
Fantastic... well said... HEREHERE.... HUZZAH!!!
Great job... :)
Posted by: Lilith (Crunchy green Mom) | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 03:41 PM
Ok - this is the same exact problem I have been struggling with. I have an eleven year old daughter who is very tiny and thin - she wears ATLEAST (and I am not kidding you)about 4 layers a day (3 of them usually some sort of cami.) So, besides her comment of 'throw a cami' under it - then the salespeople tell me that too. Yet, I am like you - I don't need/want extra layers anywhere. I cannot wear the camis with the shelf bra (even only after nursing two - doesn't work/fit.) I finally broke down last summer and bought two camis - one white and one black. Everyone beat me into submission. And yet...they still have the tags on them and I am still looking for some shirts to wear that don't require camis. I am soooo frustrated. Please please please update if you find a shirt to wear - I'll take 10!
Posted by: Kathleen Russell | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 03:43 PM
I'm SO with you!
Also, what's the deal with all the "baby doll" tops for us mature women? I've had 4 babies and I don't want to look perggy when I'm not, thank you!!!
Posted by: Julie | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 03:47 PM
Great post!
A friend introduced me to these and it works for some of those kinds of shirts-especially the ones that are see through. I wear one over my regular bra.

Posted by: Melene | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 03:47 PM
So many good points, Shannon. I have a lot of camis. And they rarely work. If they're small enough to lay flat, they don't cover enough, ahem, up top. If they cover up top, then they bunch up under my top shirt. AND, all mine are some sort of polyester-ish material, and they are SO HOT!
All that to say - you preach it, sister! :)
Posted by: Mary @ Giving Up on Perfect | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 03:48 PM

Bravo, Shannon! This is why I usually just head straight for the thrift store.
Posted by: Shauna | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 04:06 PM
AMEN!!!!! Try being pregnant, late 30's, live in south Louisiana and needing cami's for lots of your shirts. Thank goodness I will deliver by June 29; I don't think I could make it through the summer with 2 layers. It's awful that my daughter also needs cami's with so many of her clothes...and she's only 9. Have a marvelous day.

It is a conspiracy. And I don't like it.

Tell it, girl.
Posted by: Wendy | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 04:13 PM
I am 28, have not have kids, am barely a B-cup, and yet I agree with all your points. Even for me, the stupid "shelf bra" that is sewn in does absolutely nothing. I have to wear band-aids over the pointy bits, or be obviously chilled All. Day. Long. Even in warmer temperatures - as soon as you walk into an air conditioned building - there are the headlights. Not an attractive look at any time, or any age.
I hope all fashion designers listen up: There are so many of us women of all ages with disposable income. We ARE your target market. We WANT to buy clothing. Now give us something we want to BUY, or I'll keep my money to myself, thank you very much!
Posted by: LadyCiani | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 04:15 PM
Completely agree! My problem is compounded by the fact that the distance from my neck to the top of my cleavage is very short.
Posted by: Tammy W. | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 04:19 PM
Amen! I have camis, in fact I have some that have little cap sleeves because I want to be more modest, but I am not happy that I have to wear them with everything - it is a downright fashion conspiracy. What am I, an onion? A patchwork quilt? Why do my outfits have to have several layers to be finished?
Love this post.
Posted by: Brittany | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 04:19 PM
I'm right there with you!! Thanks for a much needed laugh! I also agree w/ the comment on the "babydoll" tops - I pass up whole sections of shirts in the store because they would make me look pregnant if I tried to wear them.
Posted by: Tracey - Girls to Grow | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 04:19 PM
Bahahahaha.
I am so with you!
I've nursed 3 children and know exactly what you are talking about :)
Great post!
Posted by: Simply Sara | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 04:29 PM
I know!!! I've had to invest in several camis because I am wearing one every day now as all my shirts seem to need one!
Posted by: It Feels Like Chaos | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 04:33 PM
I am so with you. Especially the part about the built-in bra. Do these really work for most women?
Posted by: Stephanie | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 04:39 PM
I too live in Oklahoma and I agree about the heat. However, I have just recently turned to the cami darkside. I found a great one from Ann Taylor that I LOVE and ordered 2 more. The reason that I wear them, besides the fact that you can see through every shirt made nowadays, is that these have a tiny bit of lycra in them. So they help hold in that small bit of bulge I tend to have in my middle section. Since I've started wearing them, I have become addicted. I feel kind of naked when I put one of my cotton t-shirts on without it.

You are hilarious!
I must admit that I have the same problem. The last thing I want to wear during the long, humid Tennessee summer is layers. I have even noticed a trend where t-shirts are becoming virtually see-through, thus requiring a cami. It is so frustrating.
Posted by: Amy | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 04:48 PM

LOL!
Posted by: Mrs. Q | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 05:26 PM
I am going to have to ditto the amen!
A few years ago I loved wearing the sweater sets that had a tank underneath and a cute sweater on the outside. They were sold together as a set. Not anymore. Now you have to buy the pieces separately. Well you can't wear the sweater without something under it and the tank shouldn't be work alone because of the whole bra strap thing.
I totally agree it is a conspiracy!
Posted by: Lorie | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 05:35 PM
Ditto!!! I SO agree. These people weren't thinking clothes for summer weather... I'm about to move to the tropics and have been considering my summer attire.
Oh and the other thing I hate about camis is that most of them show off cleavage anyway (they were made for smaller busted women perhaps). I have yet to find one that keeps me covered in the way I would prefer.
By the way, if you're still looking for shirts that don't require layering, I'd recommend checking out K-Mart. I bought 4 shirts there last week, 3 of which should be wearable without a cami. And all of them were on sale. :-)
Posted by: Joelle McNulty | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 05:38 PM
Sigh. I SO know what you mean!!!! On all points!!!!
Posted by: Nancy Belanger | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 05:43 PM
It has already been said, but I will repeat...Amen, sister!
The layer conspiracy is ridiculous!
The shelf bra is useless once you have reached puberty, never mind nursing!
I agree with one other commenter, I cut the shelf bra out - it brings the neck line of the cami up a little higher. However, so far the only cami I have found to cover the "ladies" and the muffin top is a maternity one - how sad is that?
Posted by: Dawn | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 05:46 PM
LOL! You are wonderful! Thank you for the laugh!
Posted by: Kate | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 05:50 PM
Tell it like it is! Livin' in Louisiana, you better be DAMN sure I'm not wearing two shirts, or I'd melt into a puddle of myself! Heck no!
I, too, have a similar dilemma, in shirts that are long enough. Why oh why do they think women, after having children, want shirts that barely cover their bellies? I want something to my hips, and apparently anything and everything I try just doesn't work, either too tight in the breast area, or too short in the waist. Oy!
Posted by: Lisa @ Crazy Adventures in Parenting | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 05:51 PM
As a former retail "style consultant" for a major international retailer, I know that the whole cami conspiracy is most defintely deliberate. Upselling and # of items is key for them making money. Would like a belt with that?
Posted by: Libby | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 05:59 PM
Thank you. It is nice to know I am not the only one who has a hard time finding clothes.
Posted by: Michele | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 06:05 PM
I've just been letting them pressure me into buying camis... I own probably 15 of them.
Why can't I just be smart like you??
Sheesh.
Posted by: Mel | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 06:14 PM
So agree...I don't even go out to shop it depresses me, I can never find anything!

That is absolutely HILARIOUS! I agree completely! Way too funny.
Posted by: [email protected] | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 06:36 PM
I have bought several camis over my lifetime and haven't been happy with any of them. However, if the shirt is sheer and you are going to be in one of the icy cold a/ced buildings it works ok. I found a bra that is almost exactly the color of my skin so the straps aren't as noticable...at least that is what I tell myself anyway. I don't wear them often. I live in Texas where we come up to your state to spend the summer where it is cool! I'm sure ya'll enjoy hearing that. Ha!
Enjoyed the post a lot...thanks
Posted by: AmberStar | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 06:43 PM
Another AMEN!!! Don't even get me STARTED on the built-in bra cami...thank you but it only works if you don't have nipples folks!
Posted by: Kristin | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 06:47 PM
Amen! And since I shop thrift or consignment a lot, I'm STILL stuck heading to the store to find a cami that matches the oh-so-cute shirt that's just a bit too low. Especially a bit too low when you have to pick up and hold a 45 pound child which naturally drags the neckline down even LOWER.
Finally, a conspiracy theory I can believe in. :)
Posted by: Loretta | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 06:50 PM
I DO wear camis under just about everything, although it took me years to find a CAMI that wasn't too low cut too! However, I'm writing to tell you about my experience LOOKING for a cami: I went into a certain mall lingerie store and told the saleslady, "I am wearing a low cut dress to my brother's wedding and I need to buy a cami to go under it." The saleslady said, "How about just a really pretty bra?" I was stunned. But she was serious. Disgustingly serious.
Posted by: Sarah | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 07:06 PM
Amen sister! I second everything you said-especially about the shelf bra in the cami. Whatever?
Posted by: MamaHen | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 07:08 PM
I am with you sister! Texas is HOT and HUMID! I don't want layers and why all the polyester?
Blessings,

Posted by: Lorilee | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 07:26 PM
YES! I totally agree with you...and then they also want to sell us some Spanx to wear under our two shirts to help with the extra padding we need to smooth over.
I am a middle aged woman, too...thanks for speaking up for us!
Posted by: Connie | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 07:42 PM
Amen! I have yet to find a cami that fits right, isn't too low cut and doesn't show everything when I bend over. I have to wear a bra under a cami and I'm not even very big. I hate all the layers!
Posted by: Mary Ann | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 07:59 PM
HILARIOUS!
Laughing my booty off. Couldn't agree more!
LOOOOOOOVED this.

I thought I was the only one too cheap to buy 2 shirts!
Posted by: Meredith from Merchant Ships | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 08:06 PM
So *that* is why I always have my non-existant cleavage showing all the time....I just chalked it up to not having anything to bring up the material....never realized it was all a huge fashion conspiracy!
Thanks for the great laugh...I love how you always keep it real.
Peace~

Oh that was funny! I so wish that cold be posted in print somewhere so the fashion industry could read it! LOL! I SO can relate to the heat of summer... who in the world would want to layer a shirt then!!

That's great! I love it!
Posted by: Sarah | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 08:25 PM
Do you have Kohl's ? I was in there the other day and they had some really cute tops that were not made to go with camis. They even have them on sale you can check them out online http://www.kohls.com In the women's section under shirts & blouses short sleeved
Hope it helps!!!
Posted by: Kori | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 08:28 PM
You, too? I was out shopping today and also encountered the same problem. I refuse to submit to the cami! (For all the reasons you mentioned)
Posted by: Mommy Cracked | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 08:30 PM
Is that why all the shirts are so sheer?? I couldn't figure out what was going on. I kept wondering how a person was supposed to actually wear something like that out on the street.
Posted by: LS | Friday, April 17, 2009 at 08:45 PM
Thanks Shannon - you always make me laugh. Funny thing is, I have more cami's than I know what to do with. I think you have just inspired me to clean out my closet tomorrow and purge a few!

Definitely! I'm with you!!! The fashion industry just need to make shirts that cover us..........not just cater to current trendy crap! :)
Hot in MS too!!!! Ugh! :)

Amen! And what's worse is that if you do stoop to the cami, it doesn't really do you any good anyway because it plunges so low!
