My big problem is that the manufacturers don't make the straps LONG enough.
Nor the body of the cami longer than 'standard'. If I want long - I have to
go bigger, and then it hangs on me.

When I first heard the term in about 1970 I wondered if it was something to
do with military tanks. I've searched the H-cost archives and

Here in the UK we would call it a vest, because it resembles the
undergarment of that name. (Yes, I know a vest is a waistcoat in the US.)
Out of interest, I looked at the website of a clothing company I use and
they call them vests or occasionally camis, but the distinction between
them is unclear
Find me THE picture, showing the top you have in mind. I'll do it! :)

Yes it is an age thing. And I can see your girls not wearing the tank style.
Younger girls don't.
I've been unwilling to wear one due to needing support. Straps made for support
look lousy under thinner straps :)

LOL. This is definitely an age thing, I think. I have two daughters,
ages 18 and 21. For years they've been calling that garment a cami or a

layer, but a layer that is exposed, either partly or entirely. And, in
hot weather, i
Hm. In my opinion, a camisole (or cami) is strictly an undergarment
regardless of modern vernacular. LOL!
Tank tops can be delicate in style...I would say what the OP is describing
would be using the correct name if she called it a tank top. One could say
"tank top with spaghetti straps," maybe.
cami or camisole
