I've been reading through the PR reviews, and so many people have commented that the neckline is so low that it would lead to "wardrobe malfunction" without a camisole beneath, but yours looks perfect.

Thanks for sharing your armhole trick, BTW -- I hate it when my bra is showing under my armpits!Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140515590936881334.post-79176286278721964902011-08-22T21:22:02.214-04:002011-08-22T21:22:02.214-04:00My cowl necks just don't drape very well.
