White scrub top cami question

Hello everyone,

The hospital where I work has chosen to have their nurses wear white scrub tops and Navy bottoms. I love the look, very crisp and easy to identify nurses vs CNA's or housekeeping. Patients seem to like it as well. I am having a problem with some of the white scrub tops out there, being too shear. I am a warm person by nature and being menopausal is not helping me either. But the thicker material is too hot for me, and the thinner material is really see through which I do not like. I am trying hard to find a Plus-Size Camisole that is not tight or form fitting. I just want something that is thin and loose that I can put under some of the thinner white scrubs. You would think that would be easy to find, but I can't come up with anything that does not have a bunch of bows on it, or is designed to make a plus sized woman "thinner". I need comfort. Does anyone layer their scrubs with a camisole? Is there a brand you use? Or a web site you can direct me to? :nurse:

I don't know about camisoles, but if it were me, I would just get some of the "wife-beater" (ugh I hate that term) type tank tops. They're super cheap and very thin. They are a bit more fitted (though not tight), but I think having an undergarment loose makes them feel hotter and much more bulky.

or can you just wear a skin tone bra? I also am a person that if i say it's cold, it must be really cold, because I am always warm... when i had to wear white, i wore all nude underwear and bra's, even under the thinnest white scrubs, and you never saw them...

Oh, also, the plus size section on Old Navy's website currently has several camis and tank tops on sale. I know at least a couple of them have white.

Thanks! I will try that. I do usually wear skin colored bras, but you can see my pants at my waist through the white top, and I am a bit on the modest side, and you can see my belly button and I just wanted to cover it up a bit. I'd have rather had blue tops and white pants if you can believe that.

Deb Shops had a large selection of plain camisoles and tank tops. Some are even the long kind, which I like. They usually run about 5-6 dollars each. I pair their tank tops with pretty much everything.

I bought some at Avenue to wear under my scrubs, which are also white.
