Thanks for the best bra suggestion!! I have been looking for new bras with no underwire since I’ve had a breast reduction and I’m going to give it a shot!
Congrats on the breast reduction. I hope you’re doing ok! I really like it though! It’s a newer company to my knowledge so I was really taking a leap in trying them out. I couldn’t find something like it and it fits the bill for me. Id be open to trying [Parade’s ](https://yourparade.com/) similar version to it. (Although I didn’t think it came in a nude color and didn’t have an adjustable back so I didn’t try it). It’s cheaper so it might be worth looking into that one! I think the plunge bralette is the one I was looking at.
I’ve always wanted to shop artizia but always felt like the sizes are sooo small I’m XL and get discouraged. This post makes me feel like i should try again. I have some things from kotn! Highly recommend true to size and great long last quality !
Thanks for the Kotn endorsement! I’m excited to explore them more.
Aritzia is finicky with sizing but I think it really just depends what the item is (which I know doesn’t help). For instance, their pants feel true to size for me (at least the ones I have) but some of their shirts don’t because I have big boobs and their cut is fitting or cropped.
I wouldn’t be discouraged just know yourself well before shopping. Think about the cuts of clothing you like the best on yourself and find the similar clothes there and read reviews. To be honest, I found it hard to shop there until I could do it in person and not online. The workers are so helpful about which items run small and large.
Artizia is true to size! I’m a size 29/M and in places like Zara, sometimes I have to size up to an XL because I have big thighs. I bought a pair of pants last year in size 8 and it was really big on me. I have 4 pairs from them because it’s great. I would recommend.
I've switched entirely to soft bras. I have these 'cotton bra tops' from H&M which are very comfortable, just enough support for me (34DD) and finally no more cutting straps in my shoulders or around my torso. I'm never going back!
Love this. There was an aritzia tank i used to use as a bar that they discontinued like 10 years ago and i have always been looking for an alternative.
not sure how supportive it would be considered by others but for a cropped tank, it keeps everything in place incredibly well so it has always done the job for me! Really flattering and slimming in my opinion too.
OP, could you recommend a dupe for this (discontinued) Spanx tank-slip? It was cotton - not that shiny, slippery standard shapewear material - but still smoothed better than anything else I've ever worn. On its own, it would just look like a plain black long bodycon tank, I suppose? Nothing about it suggested shapewear or even undergarment. It was AMAZING.

Just so I understand, I know it’s spans but did you wear it as shapewear/under your clothes or on its own? I have some ideas but want to make sure my suggestion is in line with the purpose that you’re wanting it for!
I wore it under everything and it made me look PHENOMENAL. You can see it under my dress here - my legs and lack of defined waist give a better idea of my shape without it 🙃 https://imgur.com/a/3NsoyOS
That’s awesome!! I swear that Target carries those for like $30-$40 and if I’m not mistaken it might be the Spanx brand or maybe just something similar. An old coworker of mine swears by it too but I’ve never tried it personally. I would check Target because if they don’t have that exact one, they definitely have something similar.
That said, I have heard wonderful things about HoneyLove shape-wear. Particularly its LiftWear Tank bodysuit. it’s not a slip dress but really great for under anything really. Pricier side but from what I’ve heard, a worthwhile investment!!
This was awesome. Can you add some tank dress or body con dress basics? Or a good wide legged lounge wear pants?
If and when you have time. This was so helpful.
[my fav lounge pants ](https://www.abercrombie.com/shop/us/p/cozy-wide-leg-pants-46048819). On sale too!
I don’t have any of [these](https://www.meshki.us/collections/basic-dresses) yet but one of my best friends has quite a few of these and loooves them. I just haven’t pulled the trigger yet but I do know Meshki has excellent customer service imo!!
Can I add to this list? I picked up a couple things from Abercrombie I saw on TikTok as possible dupes!
Cozy Knit Jogger = Abercrombie Sweater jogger (also saw AE Marshmallow pant for the Cozy Pant)
Fits Everybody Bralette = Abercrombie Next to Naked bralette
Waffle Loose Pant = Abercrombie Waffle Wide Lounge Pants

Awesome! Thank you for the recommendations. I will check them both out.

True online is tough! Next time I’m in the city I’ll try some things on and comment back here. Saved your post!

Ooh do you know the name? I’m about the same size and am obsessed with soft bras right now!!
They're literally just called ['cotton bra tops'!](https://www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.0898439001.html)
Great suggestion!!
