My daughter needs to wear white t-shirts for gym but for someone in her early teens, is embarrassed when her bra or camisole can be seen through the material. I've searched the stores but can't find any good quality white t-shirts that are thick enough. Does anyone know a brand, website or store that have these?
Maybe she could wear a sports bra for gym. Seems like more women and girls are less self-conscious if all that's showing is the tank strap of a sports bra no matter what color it is. Especially if it's a very different color like black or a bright color because then it just looks like you're wearing a tank underneath.
Maybe a short-sleeved or sleeveless dance leotard under her required gym outfit would help?
I would try the boy's section! I think it's Hanes, but one of the standard, white undershirts is exceptionally thick.
LL Bean is also a great source for wonderful t-shirts. You can sometimes get discounted ones through Sierratradingpost.com.
Have you tried Lands End. www.landsend.com They usually have heavy good quality t-shirts. Also, a beige bra or camisole will not show nearly as much as a white one under a white t-shirt.
I remember being the same way! Does she wear the nude-colored bras instead of white or other colored bras when wearing white t-shirts? With me, if it was a white shirt, I had to wear the nude/beige bra.
You mentioned that this was during gym. Maybe she can keep a certain bra in her locker just for that school period. That is, unless you end up finding thicker white T-shirts.
I'm not sure about where to find thicker t-shirts, but I would suggest that she wear a skin colored bra. It's amazing how much a white or colored bra can show up under a white t-shirt! Good luck with your search :)
Hello,
you could try boy's t-shirts instead as they seem to be somewhat thicker and also for gym days, she could wear black t-shirt bras or black camisoles - those rarely show up under clothing.
You could also try buying the t-shirts in winter - the ones being sold then seem thicker to me!
