Long sleeve t shirts with long body

They're all too short! Much revealing of Paunch Of Doom.

Any ideas where to find plain long sleeve t shirts that come down to bottom of fly area?

I've given up this holy grail. I now buy basic jersey mini dresses from H&M. Nice and long and cover my bum, great for layering.

Is this what you mean? www.hm.com/gb/product/13727?article=13727-A

The long sleeve t-shirts in both Dorothy Perkins and Next this season come to the bottom of my fly. They are annoyingly too long to wear with skirts!

They do a couple of styles, that's one of them

Cos used to do lovely t shirts with lovely long sleeves and hem length. Am looking for some new ones this year, will check out h&m as well...

It depends on your height/length of your torso, so whatever people recommend won't necessarily be right for you. Isabella Oliver does longer length 'layering' tees - the non-maternity bit, I think it's called baukjen now. I still wear my IO maternity tees, which are a good length and don't look like maternity wear.

M&S - you have to root! But I've a couple of plain and striped from there that are long (I'm 5'11)
They usually call them tunics but they're not

Primark. Longest tops I've found, with nice long sleeves too.

the J Crew perfect tee

If you can spend a little more then C+C California are known for their longer bodies here. They ship to the UK. I buy them and can confirm they are worth the extra although they are about £29 ish so not totally mad.

Another higher price brand is James Perse. They really last, both of these brands.

I have found the PERFECT ones in Gap Outlet. Loads of colours, long of body and sleeve, with different necklines (v neck, round neck and a kind of envelope neck) - and all between £5 and £10. I bought eight. Blush It is so rare to get something that ticks all the boxes. All super soft cotton too.
This was in Gap in McArthurGlen outlet, Bridgend. No idea if the proper Gap sells them or online.

Long Tall Sally.

SkodaLabia · 18/09/2013 09:42

Ooh, thanks. I'm actually quite short at 5'4", but have a relatively long body. Also being a size 16 means that some of the length gets taken up by norkage and belly.

Will investigate your ideas, ta!

Oasis do nice ones, soft ones. I linked to them a while ago

carrie74 · 18/09/2013 12:50

The current Gap ones (Bovery soft I think they're called) are perfect.

I've also got the super long Baukjen ones.

I buy H&M long sleeved dresses Sad they cover my bum! £7.99 and come in loads of colours.

TheWomanTheyCallJayne · 18/09/2013 13:07

Do you have a link please Northumberland?

I've had a look but I can't find any long sleeved for that price

Northumberlandlass · 18/09/2013 14:01

Sorry - realised they are £9.99 !
Here they are. They are not that long on me.....just cover my arse Grin

I got a nice long sleeved t-shirt in H&M it doesn't quite cover my bum but only an inch off. I did get the next size up to normal as I hate fitted clothes but they're lovely.
