really need help finding tops

I have an extremely long back (had it measured years ago for a bike fitting, , which means every top I buy ends up looking like a crop top. tyhis was fine pre DD when I had a wash board stomach, but I now sport a small muffin toip and it just looks awful.

My only choice seems to be to purchase mini dresses and wear them as tops, but I have to purchase shapeless ones as anything with a waist ends up with the waist on my rib cage. Which then doesn't sit comfortably

In the past I have purchased guys t-shirts (just to get the length I need) but I'd love to be able to wear something nice that is fitted and actually fits me.

Thankfully my legs are average length so trousers are not a problem, but if I want to wear a dres that's knee length I typically have to buy one of those ones that mid calf length.

I feel like I'm built like a freak, can anyone reccommend somewhere that stocks nice long length tops? I can't be the only one surely????

There are quite a few places that have a 'tall' range and of course specialist 'tall' shops, I'd have thought that'd be your best bet...

How long are we talking?? As mrslettuce recommended try tall ranges (topshop do one and I think possibly next and Dorothy Perkins.) otherwise some of Dorothy Perkins tshirts are 70cm in length which I find great for my long body. What about tunics?

Thanks MrsLettuce, but I've only found those in trousers/skirts. Can you recommend any that do that top half please?
