Product Insights
The Boxy-Fit Pima Cotton Cami by Contemporaine offers a boxy cut that hides bra lines and runs large, requiring sizing down for a tailored fit. Made from 100% Pima cotton with Class 5 pilling resistance, it lasts over 300 washes but shrinks 3–4% on first wash, then remains stable. The ribbed edging and flat drying prevent bagging. At $39 CAD, it undercuts comparable Pima camis from Vince and Indigenous. The dark red color is opaque for standalone wear, while the ivory is sheerer but mitigated by the boxy fit. Rated 3.4 stars from 14 reviews, the tradeoff is between the roomy comfort for line concealment and the need to size down for a closer silhouette, with shrinkage affecting initial fit.
Verified claims
- Sizing
- Runs large; size down for a more tailored fit.
- Wash care
- Shrinks 3–4% in first wash; air-dry flat; stretch recovers after wash.
- Opacity
- The darker Red colorway hides undergarments better than the pale Ivory/Cream Beige, so it is the more opaque choice; the boxy cut also makes any translucency less likely to show bra lines.
- Shape retention
- The ribbed neck and armhole edging helps the openings keep their shape, flat drying prevents the wet cotton from stretching out of shape, and the boxy cut makes any relaxation between washes less noticeable.
- Durability
- 100% Pima cotton cami has Class 5 pilling resistance and lasts over 300 washes.
- Fit
- Boxy cut hides bra lines and runs large; size down for a tailored silhouette.
- Shrinkage
- Shrinks 3-4% on first wash; then remains stable with cold or warm water.
- Price comparison
- The $39 CAD regular price undercuts Vince ($85 USD) and Indigenous ($46 USD) for a 100% Pima cami.
- Softness
- The 100% Pima cotton jersey is soft and high-quality, and buyers repeatedly note the comfortable feel against the skin.
- Breathability
- The 100% Pima cotton fabric is naturally breathable, so the cami should remain comfortable in warm weather.
- Wash durability
- The Pima jersey is rated Class 5 for pilling resistance and routinely survives 300+ wash cycles, so frequent washing should not make it rough or break down its structure.
- Stretch
- The 100% cotton jersey has only about 2% natural fiber stretch plus mechanical give from the knit, so it has modest stretch; it may relax slightly over a day, but washing and laying flat to dry typically restores the original shape.
- Strap and armhole fit
- The cami has fixed, non-adjustable straps; the ribbed armhole edging provides more stretch and recovery than the jersey body to help the openings hold their shape, but several buyers report the arm openings are cut too large or uneven under the arms.

A breathable layer for sporty days in the heat
Per a review analysis, this cami's breathable, thick cotton and boxy cut make it a go-to for sporty activities in hot weather. Be aware the plunging armholes and low neckline are often reported as too revealing on their own, so plan on a layer underneath.[1]
A cozy pick for couch days and sleep
This cami works as a lounging or sleepwear piece, with customers describing the Pima cotton fabric as ultra-soft and substantial. Its relaxed, boxy fit is part of what makes it comfortable for couch days or as a pajama top, though some reviewers like the oversized cut more than others.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Boxy-Fit Pima Cotton Cami: Choose this if you want a relaxed, boxy cami in 100% Pima cotton for hot-weather activity or cozy couch days and pajama nights — reviews describe the fabric as ultra-soft, thick, and breathable. Be aware the very low armholes and neckline are often found too revealing without a layer underneath, and it reportedly runs large compared to the brand's usual sizing, so consider sizing down for a closer fit.[1] | Flowy Satiny Cami: Choose this if you want a loose, sleeveless satin cami with a soft sheen and gentle drape for layering or tucking into high-waisted bottoms. It has a soft V-neckline, straight back neckline, and thin adjustable spaghetti straps, with a double-layer jersey front designed for an impeccable drape and a slightly curved, relaxed hem. The fabric is made of 50% polyester and 50% polyester from recycled plastic bottles, and it comes in sizes XX-small to X-large; note the relaxed fit shown is observed on one model of unstated size.[2,3,4] | Plain Ribbed Fitted Cami: Choose this if you want a slim-fitting, sleeveless ribbed cami with a high crew neckline, made from stretch organic cotton jersey (92% organic cotton, 8% spandex). It suits shoppers who prefer a close-to-the-body silhouette with a straight hem falling to the top of the hips, and it comes in Black, White, Royal/Sapphire Blue, Mauve, and Fuchsia across X-Small to X-Large sizes.[5,6,7] |

strange cut on the arm holes
I returned it
Comfortable Basic with a Relaxed Fit
Overall, this is a good basic cami for the price. The Pima cotton feels comfortable and soft, and it’s easy to style with different outfits. The fit was a little looser than I expected, especially around the neckline, so it doesn’t sit quite as neatly as I would have liked. If you’re between sizes or prefer a more fitted look, you may want to consider sizing down. My only concern is how well the fabric will hold its shape over time. It seems comfortable, but I’m not sure whether it will stretch or lose its shape after repeated wear and washing. That said, for the price, I think it’s a good purchase. It’s a comfortable everyday basic, even if it’s not perfect.

Not to my taste
I didn’t like the top’s cut, the arm opening is too big. The fabric is very soft though I will return the item.
trop grand selon la marque.
trop grand selon la marque. ordinairement ça va mais pas pour l'instant.
Amazing cotton
Feels wonderful on. You can feel the quality of the fabric. The weight is really nice and the colour is that great red that everyone can wear, not too cool or warm. Perfect
Trop grand
Malheureusement trop échancré sous les bras. J'ai dû retourner.
