About 25 inches from top of shoulder strap to bottom of hem. It comes up higher in the front than it does in back.

no they are not, adjustable though.. i love this camisole, it disappears under fitted or loose tops and is great for in-between seasons when you want a little extra comforting warmth. great for dress tops too. again, it's not bulky at all.. I would hand wash and roll in a towel. it's so lightweight that it's easy to do this and hang dry..

Not elastic but are adjustable. I have mine cinched all the way since my bustline is small and the silk tends to stretch.

The straps are stretchy and also have a little clasp that allows you to lengthen them or make them shorter.

Is this item sheer and/or see-through?

Rick J on Sep 29, 2017

BEST ANSWER: The black is not very see through. The white is a bit see through if it is worn over a white bra. However, I have worn the camisole (plus white bra) under a see through blouse and the bra was not visible through both fabrics. These camisoles are a perfect under layer for all seasons.

I am normally a size small, but after reading the reviews I'm confused. What size do you recommend?

A shopper on Jul 26, 2017

BEST ANSWER: My 10-year experience with Winter Silks camisoles, slips, and tops is that they run large - as in I could wear XL Wintersilks even when I had to order XXL from other manufacturers. I have since lost weight, and as a true medium, order med; would recommend that a true small order small, or even XS, if available.

I have found most of the wintersilk tops to be true to size. Check the size guide to make sure, but the small should be OK. And, if not, you can always return and get the medium. I've never had trouble getting credit or an exchange from WinterSilks. I hope this helps.

Are these quick dry if washed by hand?

S U on Aug 15, 2016

BEST ANSWER: First of all I love them. I have not washed them by hand. I just toss them in with my regular light weight colored items. Then I hang them on a hanger and let air dry. Usually, it's overnight so, I'm not sure as to how long, then I press them with a low heat iron. I have also bought the cami, that is V-neck in the back and higher in the front. These are my favorite. I treat them the same. machine wash and hang to dry. low heat press. Hope this helps. thanks for asking. Sharon

Is the back any lower? Could it be turned around without fitting weirdly?

A shopper on Dec 5, 2016

BEST ANSWER: On me, when worn as designed, the back IS several inches- maybe six- lower. When turned around, what is now in front is lower than what was front before. The straps are adjustable. There is no tailoring for the bust on either side. So either way the piece hangs flat, front and back. Hope this helps.

will the Latte color show under a white outer top?

A shopper on Nov 29, 2016

BEST ANSWER: Depends on the weight of your white top. Latte and other skin/tone like colors usually disappear under white tops because they are closer to skin tone vs white, which is stark and tends to stand out under white tops.

A bright white cami shows up under a white top as a white "shadow" or "ghost." The latte blends in more and doesn't stand out like the white under white. Don't know why, but Latte or the dark mocha charmeuse "disappear" under a white top.

There is some slippage. However, I have found that the straps stay put better under a sleeveless garment than under short/long sleeved tops. Maybe something to do with the "additional" fabric pulling the straps off the shoulder...

is the fit stretchy?

Polly S on Dec 6, 2018

BEST ANSWER: The fit is somewhat stretchy. I will say, though, that over the years I have been buying a larger size than I need because it seems to me when there is more roominess to the fit, the silk helps keep me warmer. I love lightweight, however, the thing I have experienced is that the delicacy of lightweight is more prone to damage. I have stuck my fingernails through lightweight trying to tuck it in, which is a real bummer. You will love wearing silk undergarments in the winter; it really is unbelievable how warm the silk base layer keeps you.

Yes, the camisole is stretchy. It is also lightweight and comes out of the wash beautifully, though I hang mine to dry rather than putting it in the dryer. I have several that I have had for a pretty long time and that have been frequently washed--they are all in good shape.

The camisole has the luxurious give of silk. I would not call it stretchy the way spandex or the jersey knit of a t-shirt is. I find it more comfortable, softer on my skin, light weight and unrestrictive. Really. Nothing like silk.
