Help in finding t-shirts for big boobs.

I have recently put on a little weight mostly on my boobs and have gone to a 32f. After shopping for hours for what I thought would be simple t-shirt shop they either a) fit my boobs then hang from the boobage making me look 2 stones heavier than I am or b) fit my body but pull really tight on my boobs making me look tarty. So, is there a t-shirt that will skim my front and taper into my waist, I really need both long and short sleeves for basic everyday. Highstreet or online just a general point in the right direction please?

I'm your shape and find Gap scoop neck t-shirts to be a good shape on me. And weirdly enough I also picked up some good ones in Primark recently, which isn't somewhere I expected to find them.

Boden scoop neck t shirt and long sleeve t shirts are the best i have found. Good quality, not see through even in white and enough stretch to shape without being tarty. I tend to go for a 10 in these even though I normally take a 12 in their other tops. There are usually codes around.

Thanks treacle, there is an outlet shop near me. I will have a try. Do they wash OK?

Another recommendation for Gap and Boden.

I'm a 30H and personally avoid scoop necks as I do not like my cleavage, but both GAP and Boden wash and wear well and have enough length. I wear a 10 in Boden and swing between a small and medium in GAP.

Good luck.

I got a few Gap tops from my local outlet the other week and was pleasantly surprised. I'm very hourglass and need the kind of tops you're describing. Like treacle says the scoop neck are great, and the v neck ones are also nice. Oddly enough I found the scoop neck with the horizontal stripes the most flattering. They've washed lovely and were a bargain at the outlet at £6ish each! I also got a plain white v neck short sleeve t shirt there that fits lovely for £1.30 Shock

I find Gap washes well, although the thicker ones definitely wash better than the thinner ones. But you'll know the thick ones when you feel them in the shop.

A poster linked to a polish site called biubiu the other day.

It looks good, like Pepperberry, just cheaper Smile

Great thanks everyone, I'll try Gap first as there is one near.

Here's the sizing guide]]

If you go up to the top right corner & click on the little Union Jack, it should change the site language to english. I think

Sorry one more question. What is the length like for both the Gap ones and Boden? I'm 5'4. Thanks.

You have tried peperberry as well ? They are a bit hit and miss tho'.

Sonotkylie · 15/10/2013 11:11

Length good for Boden. I am same height but long waisted as well as G cupped and they are fine to tuck in AND stay there. Not so long to stick out below normal jumpers etc. hip length not bum length

happyyonisleepyyoni · 15/10/2013 11:48

I am same size and find primark t shirts ok, but need to size up
