White Vest Hell

[ovariantryst]

Really, I do not think I am asking the earth...

Going on holiday next week and really, really need a white vest top. Like this, but white and a bit shorter as I want to wear it with a 50s style skirt and tool long and it will spoil the flare:

BUT, and I am coming to realise this is a big ask, although I do have a rather nice bra to wear under it, I do not want to advertise this to the world.

So please, please, tell me where I can get hold of a white vest top that is actually thick enough so that my underwear isn't on perma-display??? I have looked on Asos and TopShop and their vests are so thin you'd have to wear about them about 3 thick to get decent coverage...

I have just bought a lovely one from White Company, although it is quite long in the body. I've bought it to wear as a layer with skinnies, not sure how well it would go with a skirt unless you are quite tall?

H&M

Ah, just realised you want it a bit shorter - the H&M ones tend to be long.

Try Kettlewell Colours:www.kettlewellcolours.co.uk/

Primark have them for £2 ive got loads of them and they are thick enough so any colour of bra can be worn under them. I love them! X

Thanks! Will try H&M - Kettlewell have sold out of small and the nearest Primark is 60 miles away (live in Cornwall so shopping choice limited...)

Out of stock online, but maybe in store?

Damn, JL one looks ideal. Nearest John Lewis is Exeter though... can't really justify a 150 mile round trip for a vest :) (yet... just wait till I've been looking for another few days and am desperate).

Sainsburys.

TU have these but are long. Have you tried M&S?

a nude t shirt bra shouldn't show through even if the material is a bit thin.

don't wear a white bra under white tshirt/vest.

JL deliver though so why not order online?

Sainsbury is great, just a shame they only have black and white

H & m are not very fast delivery if ordering online when I've ordered it's taken a couple if weeks.

I'm sure I have seen some in George in Asda, not sure how thick/thin they are though.

Uniqlo had some nice ones a few months ago.

Marks and Spencers boys department, ie school vests. Great quality.

Sainsburys are long but the length shrinks quite a bit if you tumble dry...at 4 quid a pop worth a go?

John Lewis one seems to be in stock on this other link?

I have bought a couple of best tops from tesco over past few wks, £3.50 and thick enough for bra not to be too obvious. They have thin straps though so may not be what you want?

you could try tk maxx, i got a great plains black vest from there which is very thick
