cute, quick-drying tank top?

I've got a trip planned to Europe for this summer, and I'm starting to get together all of the clothes I want to pack. Does anyone have any good recommendations for a quick-drying tank top or cami with a shelf bra? I have a couple of similar tank tops in cotton, but would like to bring one that would be easy to wash and dry overnight. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Is this just to wear around during the day? If so, the Gap has some excellent choices, and in a million different colors.

I can't think of any tanks or camis that won't dry overnight, actually. Especially in the summer.

Victoria's Secret has wonderful cotton/spandex camis with a built-in shelf bra. LOTS of colors and styles. Just go to their website and search for "bra tops".

I'll second the Gap - theirs seem to be particularly light weight this season - and so cheap!

Cottom will not dry as quickly as synthetic fabric (polyester, microfiber, etc.). Try Athleta:

I gather if you are visiting Europe you are from the US? well if so, then wait until you get here ( Europe) to buy your tops, you will get Cami tops in almost any department store, with or without hidden bra, they are very cheap and dry in a very short while in the sun.

Zara has great tank tops and camis, and the shops are all over Europe (and in some large U.S. cities). My favorite style is made of some sort of synthetic (so dries quickly), comes in lots of colors, and is a little more substantial than most, as it's got much wider straps than the usual spaghetti style. Instead of a shelf bra (which I find can be uncomfortable, though I use them) it's got a second layer of very stretchy but very supportive fabric that lines the top half of the garment. I'm a 34C (never thought I'd mention that anywhere on line) and this style works very well for me, with better support than a shelf.
