Review: Shebeest Shirred Strappy Tank

Sex-ay!
http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodSB_1848.html

I had no intention of buying this tank. I was just gonna buy a pair of CW-X tights using the 20% off coupon and go on my merry way.

But it called out to me...

"C'mon, Knot. You know you love Shebeest. You know it fits well. You wore it both for your official engagement-and-shopping-for-the-rings and for the wedding. <really, I did! Purchased from TE, too! Thanks, Susan!> Buy me. How can you go wrong?"

I bought it. Fer criminy sake's, it's even on sale!

However, on me it looks nothing like the model. Nope. I'm of a certain age where the "call of the wild" has been replaced by the "call of gravity." Generally I wear tanks like this as underwear. No-one else needs to see the various folds and bulges that ensue.

This tank is marvellous underwear. Soft, comfy, firmly supportive, wicking. It is more than adequate support for everyday and biking, and nearly enough for running. The fit is snug. The body of the tank stays where it belongs (no creeping up toward your two dependents).

Survives the washer well, dries in a flash hanging on my bike handlebars.

Buy one, before they are gone. (and the white one is even cheaper!)

Curse you, enabler.

Is it true to size? I really need a medium (36)m but would have to buy large.

I wear Large in all Shebeest. 34c = Large for me!

How'd that get there?

I will have to Just Say No then. Besides,I already spent ten dollars on clothes today.

Oh, and did I mention it was made in the USA?

(c'mon Zen, it's really a nice tank top... the wine color would look mighty sexy on ya... y'know you want it... c'mon...) ;)

You and your sexy tops, Knott! You are the enabler whose review of Terry's Euro halter convinced me to purchase one.

I like my Eurohalter a lot but the black has faded. This is probably from being dried in the sun. Still...

I do want it but I think large would be too large for a 36A

I'm 5'5", 120 pounds, not amply endowed -- wear medium in all my jerseys/tanks. Tried on this top recently -- medium is definitely too small.

Really? I'm 5'4" and 170lbs (so quite overweight) and even though I'm also not normally well-endowed...I kind of am, at the moment. I have this top in a medium and it fits great! I love that the body is long enough to keep me covered. It is definitely very flattering and I love the wine color. :)

FWIW, I'm usually a medium in Shebeest, and for tanks with a shelf bra, a medium borders on too big.

I am freakish -- in regular bras, a 36A is too tight in the band and a 38A (on the rare occasions when I can find it) is too big in the cups. (It's the downside of weight training...)

Well, when I went to the lingerie store last Sat. the sales person told me why the 32A often feels tight and the 34A is huge... it's one cup size bigger. So that's why you see the difference between the 36 and 38.
I actually found a regular bra that wasn't too tight in the 32... even though my measurement is actually 33.

Only XS and L are still available. Good thing I didn't see this thread earlier. :rolleyes:

Thanks Knot, this little post just cost me $100. Knot only did I buy 2 of these tanks, but a pair of legwarmers and another tank on sale as well.
