Beyond Yoga Supplex Original Camisole
- nice fit... for yoga.OK, what I like about this top is it really covers the front so no embarrassing popping out during yoga class! I don't find that it offers enough support without a bra so I wear a strappy bra with it.
It's a tiny bit tight on me, especially under the armpits, and resultantly hard to get on.I ended up having to step into it. Once in, it's very containing and flattering. I wear it for yoga, but don't think I'd wear it out and about the way I do the shorts.
As everyone says, the material is stretchy, comfortable and easy to wash. The color I got, navy blue, is very nice. I get the sense that this will be very durable unlike say, cotton tops that are all over the place after a few washes.
For the record, I am very petite and I got the extra-small size I believe, the size that usually fits me. Perhaps the small would be a bit roomier given the 'containing' factor of the fabric.

- So glad I bought this flattering tank top!I had been wearing the same 2 sets of yoga clothes for I don't want to admit how many years.After hundreds of washings and sweaty yoga sessions, it was time for some new pieces (or risk having the fabric disintegrate during class).When I went shopping, I thought that finding flattering and well fitting tops would be easy but that it might be hard for me to find bottoms - I'm pear shaped and broad-shouldered and usually wear about an 8-10 in tops and 12 in bottoms.When I started trying things on, I found some pants that flattered my full thighs quickly (lovely Baja Capris from PrAna) but I couldn't find tops that fit well - I tried tops from PrAna, Nike, North Face, just to name a few, in multiple sizes and styles.My main problem was that with technical stretch fabrics, if it fit decently in the bust (36C), it clung horribly to my belly, making me look like a Michelin Man with a spare tire or two (and really, my belly is NOT that big - I carry my weight in the hips and legs).So after some research I found Beyond Yoga, and I am so happy that I did.I love my cami!A size L is supportive where I need it and the fabric really flatters my torso - no clinging, no bulges - just smooth, sleek fit.It's soft, amazingly comfortable, holds it shape in Bikram and wicks moisture.I love wearing it and plan to buy more for yoga and for other activities.The bra is not supportive enough for me to run in, but I knew that it wouldn't be - but it's plenty of coverage and shaping for yoga or walking around.The number of color choices is fantastic - I got the Indigo Teal, which is a really deep dark teal color in person - and you can't beat the Amazon sale prices.Well worth the money.
I am going to try the straight back cami next - in my opinion, the plastic hardware for adjusting the straps doesn't seem to be particularly flimsy, but I don't think they are really necessary for a good fit - the support comes from the banding on the shelf bra.

- Color chart very deceivingI ordered the Deep Aqua and received a definite baby blue.
I am waiting for the refund.

- Love it!Love the fit, the feel of the fabric.Well worth the price.the color is great.It doesn't ride up when I am practicing yoga, and has a great length.I am tall (5'10"), and have a difficult time finding shirts with a long enough torso.Definitely recommend it!

- ok stuffI bought 2 outfits, the pants and tanks because of the raves on how great the fabric was.
The fabric does feel nice on the skin and itdefinately keeps the sweat marks away, which is great for me as an instructor. But, it doesn't wash well... the fabric fades and piles very VERY quickly which , in my opinion, diminishes it's value for the buck.
The overall fit for both the tank and pants is great, the elastic bands in the tanks however are too tight for me.. I will probably order again though.. perhaps a size up in the tops..
