    Barb, is it long enough? Camis work better for me if I wear them over my, uh, underwear (TMIEmbarassed--sorry!)

    Ditto for me.  The longer the better. My derriere seems to function as a very effective anchor!

     I have a sleeveless compression T that I wear to bed and it rides up unless I tuck it in.  The Camis I have ride up so much that I can't wear them.  I have a long trunk and it doesn't matter if I get a larger size they still ride up.  I am comtemplating buying two of the same type and sewing them together to make one long one.

    I have a shaper bodysuit that works well for me. The crotch is made like a bra hook and eye closure, and for long torsos, it would be possible to add a bra extender. It is somewhat of a nuisance when using the bathroom, but those added seconds to unhook and rehook are just something to get used to. The garment cannot ride up at all.

    Wow, GuyGirl, that's an expensive solution!Frown This LE stuff can bust your budget, for sureMoney Mouth. Since you're able to sew yourself (or if you have a seamstress) how about just taking the cami to a good fabric store and looking for a close match? A yard would probably be enough to lengthen half a dozen camis, and cost a lot less. Just a thought,

    Thank you for the responses. Like Binney i have found the cami does not ride up if i wear it over my panties. Now the strap is uncomfortable when the le back shoulder swells. Oi

    Barb, consider a Swell Spot from Solaris Tribute for that kind of strap discomfort--I use one called a Kimbe spot and it's really comfortable. Scroll down on this page to see it:
