Flattering and Comfortable. Sturdy Fabric, Great Support. Wear them all the time., March 28, 2008
This review is from: Beyond Yoga Supplex Original Camisole (Apparel)
I have the camisole in three different colors and will be buying more. I work long hours (12+) sitting at a desk, and bras can get uncomfortable, so I wear these practically everyday under a jacket, a zippered sweatshirt, or an unbuttoned shirt. It's great in yoga classes too. Unlike in some other strappy yoga tops, I don't have to worry about my chest falling out of it in down-dog poses because its straps and fabric offer tight, secure support. Beyond Yoga uses the best fabric. They're super stretchy and thin yet has enough weight to it, so the nipples don't show through. It's soft, sturdy, look and feel great after many washes. I recommend washing them in cold water, gentle cycle, and air-drying them.

Not perfect, August 19, 2008
This review is from: Beyond Yoga Supplex Original Camisole (Apparel)
This is made from Supplex, which is amazingly cotton like, though form fitting, and stretchy like nylon blends common in workout gear. Supplex is probably like alot of trade names for blends of poly, lycra, spandex, ect. But the feel is really nice, a substantial weight and smooth feel, almost buttery microsuede-ish.
Now for the problemos. One, this original cami is not as good as the straight back, because it has adjustable straps with really tacky and cheap looking plastic findings. Even though I adjusted mine as far as they will go the straps are a bit too tight and the fabric looks like it may break on the straps. The plastic findings are not uncomfortable at least, but I worry they will break and I will be out of an expensive tank top.
I ordered a white one and I could swear it doesn't fit like my others. The waist is stretched out and looks a bit wierd, maybe it's just a lemon.
Overall though, I would reccomend this is you are of short or average height, since the strap issue really bothers me and I assume it's because I am somewhat longer than most women.
It does cover nipples and holds the girls in tight, though that is hardly even an issue for me.

Gorgeous, and worth the splurge, February 7, 2008
This review is from: Beyond Yoga Supplex Original Camisole (Apparel)
This is a beautiful camisole that works well for me during yoga.
First of all, the fabric is a smooth, silky supplex that that feels so nice on your skin. The fit is like your second skin, it is so smooth and sleek. Secondly, the top has adjustable straps to customize the fit. It sits nicely just below the hips and does not ride up at all. It also is not too low cut which means it provides more modest coverage when doing inverted poses like prasarita paddotonasana and downward dog. FYI, I have what you would call a pear shaped body - 34 A-B, real slim through the shoulders, ribs, and waist, and rounder at the hips. If you have this type of figure, the top would probably work well for you. I also like it because it is not a bust flattener (I can use all the help I can in that department!)
I believe that this model has a racerback top - it is not a traditional strappy camisole. It does not say so in the description, but I believe it is a racerback.
It is the nicest, most comfortable yoga top I own and the one I reach for more and more.
OCTOBER 2008 UPDATE After wearing this top for a year, at least two times per week during yoga, the fit is still snug, the fabric soft, and it has washed well. Well worth the price, even if it is the only top you own.
Also, I recently purchased another online, and have found, like another reviewer stated, that this second camisole seems more roomy and actually a little baggy at the waist. Afte washing it once, it has shrunk up a bit, but it was odd that it was a fuller cut.
