Second Base: For when you need a little extra coverage
Have you ever wished your V-neck dress had a little bit more coverage? Maybe you want to wear it to a place that wouldn't approve of a little cleavage. Or maybe you are a little bit shorter, so what would normally be a V-neck is an extra deep V-neck on you?
Second Base fixes these issues. They make a line of camisoles that will give you more coverage while not taking away from the look of your dress. They look like larger bras, yet they go over your bra and under your dress for a layered look. Right now there are two styles available, one with thick straps and one with thinner straps, and each comes in four sizes and two colors. We think this is a fabulous idea, and we will be looking into buying one or two for ourselves!
