T shirts for plus sized women?

12 replies

Rosie1990x · 24/01/2022 17:59

So I’m quite a big girl. Approx a size 22 (working on it) and only 5ft 4.

I’ve noticed whenever I try and find t shirts they’re always so… short?? I like t shirts that cover my bum but the ones I seem to come across all show off my fat pooch and bum Area. Why do they make plus sized clothing so short??

Anyone got any recommendations??

Thanks. Grin

No suggestions but following!

I feel terrible for buying from them because they’re almost certainly made in terrible conditions, but Shein aren’t too bad. I’m also a size 22 and 5’8, for me they’re still a touch on the shorter side, so for you they’re probably sit about right.

Otherwise I just go up a size and hope for the best.

Next cap sleeve t-shirts are fab (I'm a size 18). Generously cut, so not too tight, loads of colours and a good length.

I was literally just thinking about this while looking at my arse in the gym mirror. I will be off to next! Thanks for the thread.

Try Live Unlimited @ John Lewis. I got two long ones cheap as chips in the sale at the end of summer. Same size as you and 6ft tall and length even ok for me.

Yours have lots

I've got some lovely long ones from Boohoo in the curve section

These tops are great for plus sized but also apple shapes.
Boohoo have a good selection of plus size Tunics.

I am the same size as you but taller and regularly buy my tops from here.

Another vote for yours clothing. Asos are a nightmare for everything being 'cropped' atm. Pisses me off so much, lovely cosy jumper but 6 inches too short. I'm the same height as you, so must be worse for taller people.
Have you noticed they do the opposite with trousers / dresses / skirts and everything is too long?!

Primark do a longer line t-shirt I'm a 22/24 and they are perfect cover your bum and not too baggy. I have about 6 in different colours I'm sure they were only about a fiver each.
