Didn't fit

The design of this long-length cami makes it impossible to measure the "band" according to Bratabase guidelines. I took my own measurements of the width of the cami laying flat. It measures 15" wide at the top, 14½" at the waist, 21½" at the hem, which is curved. The fabric is super stretchy and can accommodate my 37" waist and 49" hips, but it wants to ride up constantly. It would be better on someone who's lower half is a few inches smaller. I think if this were made as a teddy, it would be better. Any fabric that stretchy needs something to anchor it.

Speaking of the fabric, it is SO soft, very touchable. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> It's a bit more green than photos show. I'd call it teal, though the color varies with lighting. The back has a mesh panel and a partial corset lacing at the top. It seems to be there more for style than anything else, but you could use it to adjust the band slightly. Personally, I think it just makes the cami even less supportive than the stretch fabric already does.

I bought this in a sister size up because of my pear shape. So between the extra inches, the unsupportive fabric, and the shallow bottoms of the cups, the cups like to slide down. Despite all of that, I had a tough time getting the zipper up under the arm. I don't think I could have got it on without help had I purchased my usual band size. On the plus side, the cups are neither super tall, nor super wide. However, I am too projected for them, particularly in the center. My center fullness causes some quadboob when standing. I wish I could take the foam out of the cup, but I would need to add a supportive lining and that's beyond my skill.

I bought this mostly for "entertaining", so the fit issues are forgivable. The hem riding up will be a pain, as will getting it on, but I'll put up with it for beauty.

TL;DR
Purchased in sister size due to pear shape. Cups are comfortable on a short/narrow root. Projected & center full breasts will cause buckled cups and quadboob. Cups shallow on bottom.

Teal fabric is very soft and extremely stretchy. Stretches over large hips & belly, but will ride up. It also makes for limited support and lift. Back has mesh and partial (mostly cosmetic) corset lacing. Side zipper is incredibly difficult to do by yourself.
