I'm just looking for a sleeveless vest -- something I can wear under shirts that are a little too transparent (I have a gift for lessening opacity) and hell, I'm always cold, so why not thermal?

There isn't really much else in the world of women's undershirts, is there?

I love these. [link] They're thin and slick, so they don't bunch with the next layer. I've only seen them in black and white, though.

The link actually lead to thermal vests. They weren't the prettiest thing I ever saw, but they seemed really darned warm.

Edit: Go with aurelia's. Those are v. pretty.

Maybe there's a thermal bra? Will go google.

Isn't that called padded?

Actually, as much as I don't need extra padding, the foam shaped ones are my friend. Sure, an extra few millimeters, but it keep things in place. I still am unhappy with them and think of surgery until I actually see the surgery and get so squicked that I'll deal.

Stupid server isn't letting me mail, damnit. I've got all my nephew pictures up (same as holiday shots since he was fascinated with the camera. If I had it, I was to image him, damnit) but now trying to get the turkey pix to load. Ahg. It's taken nearly 5 hours on dialup.

Wahoo! Dogged dating persistence pays off, as Hot Venezuelan Guy and I now have plans to go see a movie on New Year's. I'm not sure if he'll want to endure the 7 hour road trip necessary to see the obvious gay date movie, but I'll happily sit through the Jim Carey movie if it involves making out with him during.

I used to have some pretty ones when we lived in England, but I suspect my standards were lower then. Those cuddliduds -- don't even look like undies. I'd wear that shit out.

Do they sell thermal vests in normal department stores? I don't remember having seen them, but lingerie sections make me extra-hivey. I figure army surplus is a good place to start, though.

I'd think that would make for a very depressing date movie.

ita, all the Cuddl Duds I have were bought in department stores. And while they look good compared to most thermals, up close they don't quite look like outerwear.

Dude, it just hit me, you live in LA. Why in the hell are you asking about thermal underwear?

And I'll tell you, Army thermals are the ugliest bastards ever. Brother and SIL had sets that they adored for warmth, but for godsake, they were the most hideous things ever. Barf on barf brown that pilled if you looked at it, fergawdsake. Screw Macedonia cold, those things were vile.

hey! it gets cold in LA!

Saint Anthony, Saint Anthony please come around. Something is lost and cannot be found.

What is lost? My GODDAMN HOUSE KEYS.

ETA: as ever, St. Anthony kicks ASS and finds my keys.

And when you want to keep wearing your high 70s clothes in the high 60s, well, thermals are the deal.

But I'd wear thermals for the air conditioning protection alone, never mind the undie coverage.
