1. What is the simple word to describe the ladies' top which is tight and show the figure very much?

2. What is the simple word to describe the colour of the ladies' top is very light and it almost sees through?


Thank you.

There are an almost infinite number of styles - and names. You will get better answers if you can provide a link to pictures of the garments you are describing. #1 may be a boob tube - but I can't be sure.

Thanks for that link, Ray. I didn't know until today that "A lax pinny is a tank top that exposes the arm pit hair". I feel better for knowing that.:lol:

Actually, it is a turtle-necked, very tight, long sleeve in white that's why it shows the figure very much. What should I call it?

That's a tank top or T-shirt.

You wear a tube top, crop top or cami under it.

Do any of these describe what you want?
Sleeveless shirt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If not, I'm willing to continue the search. :cool:

A) Shall I say :

  1. My top is too sheer and tight fit.
  2. My top is too transparent and tight fit.

B) Does a shirt has to be with collars and in long sleeves?

Sorry, I still don't get it. As I checked with dictionary:
  1. tank top is a sweater or T- shirt without sleeves
  2. crop top is a clothing for upper body, cut short to leave the stomach bare
  3. cami is camisole which comes with thin should strap
Mine is a turtle neck, very tight, long sleeve, very thin material.

Then it is a sheer, form-fitting top or blouse.

And if you think it is too tight and too clear, then say "It's too tight and too sheer for me to feel comfortable."
