Long tops for pilates that won't break the bank

I've just started a pilates class, and I'm looking for some longer semi fitted T shirts that won't ride up during class and proudly display my muffin top 🫣, and that preferably won't break the bank
I'm a larger gal - tall and a size 18-20 (although hopefully not for long, those studio mirrors definitely aren't flattering 😂) so yeah, no one needs to see that!
Any suggestions great fully received, extra points if you've worn them to pilates!

Some really good stuff on Amazon (source: me, needing the same for the gym).

Bam have some nice pilates / yoga tops with a wide band at the waist which stays firmly in place.

My go to Pilates tops are Bam and I started at size 18 last year, longer length and they stay put, they are 2 for £50 at the moment (just bought a couple more as size 14 now) Enjoy!

I have a few T-shirts from Long Tall Sally which weren’t pricey. (I’m not tall but I am a bit longer in the back so I knew these would be a really good length on me compared to other brands). They’re just plain ones in a two pack of one black and one white and I think I was only around £20 or so for them.

My friend recently told me Tesco has some nice ones but I haven’t been to check myself. Our Pilates instructor recommended them to her though.

Bam are brilliant

Thanks everyone, I've ordered some to try, hopefully I'll banish the belly! 😀

@AlocasiaPolly Cheers, lots of careful eating and cross trainer cardio every other day for 20 mins (whether I felt like it or not Grin) and 2 Pilates classes a week, I haven’t been this size for 12 years! Go for it, love that Pilates as it makes you so strong and hope you love the tops Daffodil

Primark long sleeved t shirts - about £2:50, cotton
