@LTT1  I've been weed wacking since early May, & I can feel the difference in my arm muscles. But, I'd rather have flabby arms than muscles from weed wacking. Smiley Surprised

@LTT1I though u found some camis you liked!  What happened?

 

I am not one for smoothing camis bec they flatten my chest, which I don't want, but if that is OK w u, u can try sizing up 1 or 2 spanx sizes.  I used to do that w spanx, because I was almost trapped by a camisole in the Bloomingdale's dressing room trying it on and I thought I might die getting out of it.  

 

Spanx did have an underwear garment that went from shoulders to thighs w a gap to wear my own bra that I really liked and wore on special occasions, long ago.  Hard going to the bathroom, but does not roll up!  I also wore their high waisted and regular waisted shorts, and Spanx stockings on a regular basis for many years.  The garments now do not look identical to me, but if you try them, size up!  1 or 2.  No shame!

 

Below is 1 of 2 versions of the shoulders to thigh grament in the Spanx website.  It's 20 years later and I think price is the same.  Maybe this meets your needs?  Size up!

 

Color::Champagne Beige

 

These are the shorts they have now.  I recall some high waisted ones as well but I didn't see them today.

 

Color::Cafe Au Lait

 

I do sometimes want to look smooth and purchased a cami bra in Amazon, Shapeez, that I wear sometimes but not often due to price. They work:

Shapeez Silkee Long Minimizer Bra for Women - Full-Coverage Longline Back-Smoothing Soft-Cup with Underwire

 

I hold it down w my pants and maybe underwear.  I followed their sizing instructions and they worked.

 

I also bought a commie topper tank because I get back pain.  They do compress, I did size up one.  Did nothing for my back, but I think they shouldn't show under clothes, if that is what u are looking for, maybe it works for u!
