HanesWomen's Cami with Built-in Shelf Bra, Stretch Cotton Camisole, Adjustable Straps

Comfortable, Cozy Cami!
The elusive, perfect, bra-shelf cami is so hard to find, especially after being spoiled by Costco's, which they no longer sell. (Would love to know why since it caused quite an uproar.) I have purchased five or six "close" replacements, but always seem to have one complaint or another about each one. I was happy with this one the moment I put it on. I'm pretty picky [whiny] about camis. I have reflux, so the elastic cannot bind too tight. Check! I like the heartier cotton that this one is made of. Check! I like the quality adjustable straps. Check!I'm 5'8" and weigh 154 lbs. I ordered an XL because, although I'm not that well endowed (and gravity is NOT my friend), I have sort of a wide rib cage and a bit of a Goodyear tire situation happening around my middle! Miraculously, this one fit perfectly. And since it's cotton, I chose to get the XL in case it shrinks in the wash. The downside of the comfortable-but-not-too-tight elastic band is that it doesn't quite lift the girls as well as some of my other ones. I've tightened the straps in hopes I'd get a little more ooomph, but you can't have it all! And I personally like the longer length - not too long, but not too short. My other camis are made of flimsier fabric. At this time of year (winter), and living on the East Coast, this cotton cami is warm and cozy. And it's just thick enough that I'd be comfortable wearing it alone and not just as an undergarment. You probably won't catch me doing that since - when I wave - the flab under my arms waves back at me. But it's nice to know I could lounge around the privacy of my home in it.

Soft, supportive layering piece you’ll reach for daily
Bought this for layering under sweaters and wearing around the house.What I like• Built-in shelf bra gives light support without needing a separate bra• Soft cotton fabric is breathable and comfortable all day• Adjustable straps help get the right fitWhat could be better• Runs a bit small—consider sizing up• Shelf bra isn’t supportive enough for larger bustsBottom line: Comfy cami for lounging or layering with just enough support. Perfect for casual wear and sleep, but look at Fruit of the Loom Built-in Bra Cami if you want more stretch or bust coverage.

Comfortable, longer straps than previous cami
I bought this cami 2 yrs ago and it was great in every way--5 stars. Noted like others, that that cami was made in Indonesia. I ordered two more recently and these were made in Guatamala and like others said, the straps are too long. I will sew them so they are shorter, so no big deal. I found the new camis true to size, if not slightly big. They wash well and I put them in the dryer. I'd still recommend them but 4 stars since I have to sew them.

comfy but…
feels solid/comfortable. it’s relatively thick/not very stretchy so i’d say true to size. the only issue with it is that the straps aren’t truly adjustable. i shortened it as much as possible but they still fall off. i’ll need to tailor them myself. other than that, very comfy and perfect for layering!

SHORT, STIFF, AND AN UNREASONABLY LONG STRAP!!
I have 3 of these tanks that I ordered years ago. They got worn out, so I bought more. However, these are not made the same anymore. The fabric used to be soft and stretchy. Now it is stiff and and doesn't have much give at all. These used to fit my body wonderfully - long enough for my longer than average torso, straps with a reasonable length, etc. That is not the case with this year's model. I ordered 2 of these this time, in two different colors, and they both fit horribly. They are WAY too short and the straps are WAY too long. Even on the shortest setting, the shelf bra part hangs literally halfway down on my chest, exposing at least half of my bra. I read several other reviews (after I bought, of course) with the exact same complaints. One stated she ordered 2 tanks, but one of them was made in Indonesia and the other in Guatemala. The one from Indonesia was great, like mine in the past, and the other was horrible, like these new ones I ordered. So obviously my experience is not a fluke. These are no longer a great tank top and I'm super disappointed.

Love this cami in all colors
I love this cami. Fit is good but had to size up from medium to large for a looser fit. I am 4'10" and 100 lbs but wear a 38B bra. I like the fabric but want more bright colors.

Has been my default shirt for years
I forget how many times I've bought this tank, or in how many colors over the last few years. Definitely black, also white, and the cyan. It's probably the perfect shirt, and it's definitely at the perfect price.Usually it's my under layer, as it's just long enough to tuck into pants. In the summer I wear these by themselves around the house (like right now). Works fine with or without a bra for extra support on top of the built-in shelf bra. They wash and wear well, although after many washes the black color will fade and the strap elastic will wear out. Not quickly, mind you. You'll get your money's worth, and then you can cut out the shelf bra and have a sleep tank, hair dye top, etc.I'm usually more voluble about products I love, but it's hard to know where to start on something you legit wear like 4+ days a week. Hanes clothes are just so reliable and well-priced that it somehow became part of my uniform as a person. Please never stop making these shirts!!!!

Straps Way Too Long for a Great Staple
I've lived in these Hanes camisoles for years. I absolutely love them & considered them a definite wardrobe staple.My last purchase was a total disappointment though. The straps were way too long, allowing the front to slip & expose too much. I had to cut & resew them shorter which worked but I'd rather pay more to have the old fit back.I trust Hanes will work this out so I'll keep trying & I'll update with this latest purchase. I have a feeling the price reflects the long strap issue though, so fingers crossed.
