Peek a boo Cuddl Duds Camisole

The Look: Peek-a-boo Cuddl Duds Camisole

When you read about or see a piece of lingerie, the first thing that comes to mind is, "What does it look like?" or, if you see it right away, you'll form an opinion based on how it looks. Later comes the, "What will it do for me? How will I look in it?" that revolves around the fit and the technology. Since it's hard to find these camis in stores, it's important to cover how they look here:

The Peek-a-boo camisole from Cuddl Duds comes in white and ivory, so whether you have a warm or cool skin tone, you'll find your complement in the Cuddl Duds collection. From the breasts down, the fabric is opaque. From the tops of the breasts up, it's lace, so your skin will show through the fabric.

Girls of all sizes can wear this top since the available sizes range from small to 2x. Sizing, according to Shop National, is as follows:

• Roughly 20 inches long
• Bust sizes:
  • Small (32-34)
  • Medium (35-37)
  • Large (38-40)
  • 1X (38-40)
  • 2X (44-46)

How to Wear It

Whether you wear this elegant piece as innerwear or outerwear is completely up to you, though it seems best suited for the boudoir. To be especially daring, you could pair it with any type of bottom—from blue jeans to a skirt—for a night on the town. A fitted jacket or blazer would layer nicely over the top, allowing just a pop of lace to show at the top.

The Peek-a-boo cami is made of cotton on the inside and nylon on the outside. That layered combination offers a comfortable fit without the clinginess that makes some lingerie difficult to wear and enjoy.

Consider these pairings with your Cuddl Duds cami:

• Yoga pants
• Pajama bottoms (get extra use out of some of your winter pajamas by switching the regular flannel top to this cami)
• Suits
• Skirts
• Blazers
• Hoodies

This really is an incredibly versatile top. You may be best served not to show the whole thing during the day if you choose to wear it as outerwear. Then take off your jacket as the sun goes down. It's not very racy, but you could raise some eyebrows if you wore it around town on a normal weekday. Then again, that might be the idea!

They Bought It; What They Thought

One great thing about the Internet is the fact that no matter what you want to buy, you can probably find reviews for it somewhere first. That way, you'll know whether something is worth buying, if it fits true to size (in the case of apparel), or even if the quality is such that it fell apart soon after purchasing. Here are a few summaries from comments about the Peek-a-boo Cuddl Duds camisole:

• "It fell apart in the wash." (Amazon.com)
• "Reasonably priced and comfortable." (Amazon.com)
• "Perfect, fits exactly as expected." (Amazon.com)

Most reviews were positive, though you may want to treat the cami as delicately as you treat your favorite bras when it comes to caring for it. All in all, the low price suggests the cami is worth a try. It will fit almost any budget—just as it fits almost any body.

Speaking of cost, Pricegrabber.com and similar sites will send you Amazon.com's way, though you may still want to do a Google search just to be sure you're getting the best deal.
