For warmth, modesty, protection of nice shirts, dresses, etc, protection against itchy sweaters, and static cling (!), the BEST item of underclothes a woman can wear is the old-fashioned white cotton "men's" tank-style undershirt (3 for $5). Of course, this gear, if seen through a thin blouse, might give one away as a radical/feminist/lesbian/man-hater/anti-fashion/communist. So I would suggest for the not-so-bold woman that she can buy the almost identical item in the lingerie (!) department. It has a cute little flower sewn on the front, and of course it costs twice as much and lasts half as long as the men's version. For me, Fruit-of-the-Loom is OK. (Besides, it looks terrific through a thin blouse!) --the fashion conspirator marthar--
