How to Buy a Camisole

Wearing a camisole is a good way to add extra coverage under a sheer blouse. However, today's camisoles offer much more than camouflaging capabilities. When buying a camisole, take note of its other figure-flattering features, which may include microfiber control and a built-in bra.

Instructions

1. Get a camisole that fits well to accentuate the fit of your clothing. Try it on before buying it to make sure it hugs your body comfortably to avoid a fit that's too loose, which can cause the camisole to bunch up underneath clothing.

2. Enhance your figure with a camisole offering support and control. Such camisoles are typically made of stretchable microfiber that clings to the body, creating a more sleek appearance. Some even wick away perspiration.

3. Consider that control camisoles can define your figure even under clothing with a baggier fit. They usually offer medium control of the bust, tummy and waist.

4. Gain more support from a camisole by purchasing one that has a built-in bra. This can create a smoother fit for clothing because a separate bra won't need to be topped with a camisole. Check out seamless camisoles, which also help create a smoother appearance.

5. Look for stretchable, cotton-blend camisoles if you prefer the feel of cotton. The stretchable blends typically hold their shape better than the all-cotton variety.

6. Take note of the snugness of the straps when shopping for a camisole. Most come with adjustable straps for added comfort. However, sometimes very thin, adjustable straps can twist easily and slip off the shoulder.
