I’m looking for some opaque white stretch jersey to make some tank tops ..anyone know of anywhere...it must be opaque, don’t want to frighten the horses!

I've been getting some very nice quality jersey from Fabric Godmother...but white that's opaque enough for decency is not easy.  I wear a skin colour cami underneath, or make up the body double...
C'est moi!

I tried double with a very lightweight jersey but it wasn’t successful..

I've also used skin-coloured powermesh to back white jersey...

I had some very good, fully opaque, white cotton jersey from Croft Mill last year.  They don't have precisely the same one any more, but they do have this at pretty much the same price - it isn't clear from the picture how opaque it is, but they do send samples.
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.
