The tanks I linked to should probably fit you. They're not too snug (but snug enough to not fall over my head in a forward bend), and they're long enough in the body to work with curvy hips and not ride up. I'm also curvy but not big up top, so I'm not sure how that would be, but think probably OK.

(I did buy one of Mary's "holiday novelty" tanks and didn't like it as much. It has really big armholes so I have to wear it with a bra, and it seems flimsier.)

When I work out at home I like to wear some of my old rock concert merch tee shirts.

Good idea!

I have two, purple and black. They're soft and comfy, fit me just right, and aren't showing wear after frequent washings for three years. I wear them by themselves if I don't need support, or over a bra for cardio/public classes.

Laura, I love these too! I have two as well - in black and gray; I love them for all the reasons you state above!

Hanes also has tank shirts for good prices.

Those are 100% cotton, which is nice to have.

I like that as well! I hate the moisture wicking fabrics. They honestly make me sweat more.

How do these fit? Do they run large or small? I have some tanks by Bella that I love but these are really nice. I need something really light and soft.

To me they seem like a normal fit, not large or small. I wear size small and that's what I wear in almost everything. They are lightweight, so I'm kinda' surprised mine have lasted so long, now that we're talking about them!

Thanks for the suggestions on this thread. I have gained some weight unfortunately and my workout tops are snug. I prefer a traditional tank top for exercise now anyway, it doesn't need to be a special exercise one. Just one that's a little loose and not tight is all I need. I may order some of the Amazon essentials ones.
