Default SUPPORTIVE shelf- bra tank?

I'm looking towards my final weaning in a few months. I've been wearing my Liz Lange nursing tanks to bed for four years (um and no, I was not nursing that entire time). I need all new sleepwear and I love wearing a tank under my button up pjs, so that I can adjust my layers according to how cold I am. On really frigid days (like 10 below windchill or colder) our furnace cannot win over our 100 year old homes single pane windows. I am well endowed and nursing three boys + gravity, well lets just say NOT KIND. Any resonably priced shelf-bra tanks out there that acutally offer something resembling support?

I'd love to know this too. I wear nursing tanks under my PJs (and I'm not nursing anymore ). The best I've found were Liz Lange, but they're still pretty terrible for the well endowed...

Isn't that an oxymoron (supportive shelf bra tank)? No, seriously, I could never pull them off.

I usually slept in a sleep bra (not great, and not great for keeping pads in) or just my regular nowire nursing bra (Target has great unstructured/soft cup nursing bras that might work ok for sleeping in for you.

I always sleep in a shelf bra cami under my pjs. I have a LE one that's pretty decent supportively because the cotton is thick and double layer basically on the shelf bra:

I got one at Sears too that isn't too bad, just really short in the torso.

Well yes, but these are just to sleep in. There is NO WAY I could wear one as a top the way I see B cup and under women do. I love that look, but it would never work on me. I just want to be able to go up and down the stairs in my pj's in relative comfort IYKWIM. I will try the pp's suggestion. I like the nursing tanks because they aren't spaghetti straps and the straps adjust, but they have had their day and since I am finished having kids, I'd like to move away from nursing tanks.

I wish Bravado made non-nursing versions of their nursing tanks to sleep in. I'd totally buy them. I'm also still wearing nursing tanks to sleep in even though I've been done nursing for 8 months!
