Longer length vest tops

14 replies

crashdoll · 18/03/2012 19:53

From my moochings around the shops, I have discovered that shorter tops are in fashion at the moment. I'm overweight (although the number on the scales is on the way down Smile) and I don't feel comfortable with my body. I am looking for vest tops or sleeveless tops that are a little bit longer in length thus covering my less desirable bits. I'm also a bit fussy and not a fan of that stretchy material. Any points where I could go please? Thank you!

primark...good range of colours too...

Any shop that has a tall range is worth a look as they are longer in the body

The M&S standard,plain ribbed vest tops (£5 I think) are very long and come in a wide range of colours. I've bought 2 in the last week and actually am finding them a bit too long for me but may be what you're looking for.

I've had a look in the tall ranges, can't find anything quite right. I will pop into Primark again. Yesterday I couldn't see much, it was carnage. Will check out M&S thanks!

Another vote for Gap - so long I wore mine as maternity tops

I get my vest tops at Costco and they are longer length.

I bought some from Very.co.uk's tall range last year and they have really held their shape well.

This year I have picked up some in Primark.

Check out hush - they do loverly longer length vest tops which have broader straps to hide bra straps which I find handy. Really nice material (not too thin as GAP ones can be IMO) and long lasting too (even with regular washing). There is usually a voucher around for this site too.
