Work-friendly wool camisole

[mariposa]

Anyone have a suggestion for a microweight (140-160g) wool camisole, WITH A SHELF BRA, that looks professional enough (not sporty or long-underwearish) with an unbuttoned silk shirt over it?

Could be a great thing to bike to work in, year-round...

How non-sporty do you need? What about the SW Sanitas? Is the Ibex Balance too sporty?

I guess it's been hard to judge which camisoles might look more "professional" just by examining photos on the Web. I am hoping someone here has one or more shelf-bra camisole in their collection who can take a good look and comment!

The Ibex Woolies camisole looked nice, at least in the photo:

...although that one appears not to have a shelf-bra...which I think is a dealbreaker.

I have a few of the ibex camis with built in shelf bra (the woolies one you linked to definitely doesn't have a built in shelf bra)...

I could wear them to an office, but more with like a cardigan over it - they're pretty form fitting. so I guess it depends on how tight you want this camisole to be?

i have an ibex balance sports top camisole and if i was going to wear as something other than a base layer with a shirt over it i would go up a size because it is pretty tight it is comfortable and fits nice and the bra works well for me but i would not feel comfortable wearing it in an office without something over it.

I usually use a small in an ibex sports bra, but I got the large ibex balance sport top camisole - and even in the large, it's pretty form fitting. It's great and comfortable...

If I have a camisole without a shelf bra (which makes little difference for me in terms of how much "shows"), I just wear a strapless bra under it. It solves the problem.
