I'm now a keen open water swimmer to boost my slightly depleted immune system. During the winter I could hide under my dry robe and layer up and no-one would notice I was flat on one side (too numbing to deal with bras!). But now that summer has arrived hiding under a dry robe on a hot beach looks a bit odd, so this camisole is the perfect answer. I use my 'softy' and make this camisole the first layer, then add a loose top over, and no dry robe! And lucky me, I bought the pink in the sale, (which is actually a lovely pinky red). I do find it quite long, but prefer that to short I've also confortably worn it 24/7 following remedial surgery. Very versatile.
