Plus size ladies - Shirt for interview

[Deleted]

What shirt do you wear under your suite for an interview? I can't wear a button up, they look so wrong on me because I'm too heavy through the middle. Any links would be awesome.

[Deleted]

I just wear a dressy t-shirt. Button ups have never worked for me.

[LoveTrains]

Do you have a plain shell you can wear? Like for a sweater set?

Or Something like this:

I do have some plain shells, but I wondered if the t-shirt type material wasn't nice enough.

I just want to dress people today, lol. Do you think you could find a silk-looking shell?

I usually wear a silk-looking shell if I'm not wearing a button down. My favorite one has detail at the neckline to make it a little more interesting.

I really can't get behind wearing a tshirt under a suit, unless what I'm picture isn't what was meant.

I am a size 14

I wear these (not the color shown though but one of the more muted colors)

I wear a shell that is often silk.

Wearing a t-shirt under a suit just seems wrong, even if it's a nicer, well made t-shirt. Silky shells for the win!

You people with your silk obviously don't have big boobs. I lol at your ATL links. Get a cotton/rayon blend that feels like silk but can actually stretch to accomodate you.

I said silkY, I'm too poor for silk, which means I wear a nice synthetic fabric blend. lol

I like a drape-neck knit top. Something like this. I have multiple in cap sleeve and sleeveless. The drape detail makes it not seem as casual to me.

ETA: oops, it didn't go to the specific shirt.
This one.

Obviously just make sure the drape isn't so low that your ladies show.

I picked up a couple of cute drape-neck tees at Target recently for less than $30.

I love the drape neck tops under a suit jacket. You really should try the silk ones from Ann Taylor. I just posted 2 links above. I go to the loft and get them for like $20

[explorer2001]

Silk blend sweaters/knit shells are my go to for under suits

[Deleted]

I normally wear a simple shell/tank top/cami. I get a lot of them at Lane Bryant.

[mbcdefg]

I have a couple of these: www.landsend.com/pp/womens-short-sleeve-solid-fine-gauge-supima-crew~234750_59.html

I have worn this shirt as a shell under my suit jacket.

[Deleted]

I actually think a cotton tank is fine. These all look fine to me. A plain cotton tank is simple and conservative.

Me and my giant rack said silk-LOOKING.

Oh ok, actual silk makes me cry. LOL

I actually love silk shells and am a 38H. I guess they just have to be cut correctly.

I just bought a really cute rayon? shell at JC Penney. I also have bought a ton of stuff at Talbot's.

[Deleted]

I just tried on the rayon and silky ones from JCP and they don't work at all. They are either too low or cling to the middle. I found a nice thick cotton one at Maurices that will be nice enough I hope.

I wouldn't worry about them clinging to the middle, though, if you're leaving your suit jacket on. Which you really should if you just have a shell underneath. It's only one interview, not an all-day thing, right?
