Non frumpy modest clothing

Hello MNers. I'm fairly new to all this so forgive any mistakes. But I am curious to know if other women who are also inclined towards looking for modest clothing choices find it as hard as me to find anything remotely stylish that doesn't make you look like you are off on a holiday to the Bahamas (i.e printed summery tunics). It could be for religious reasons, to cover baby or general lumps and bumps, personal choice, or just too many Cake
Is anyone else as frustrated as me?

And here's a recommendation to prove that I'm nice really - maxi dress, no cleavage showing, summery (and not from BHS):

Blimey peeps! Calm down. No bun fight here please. Can't we just agree that people may have their reasons for covering up- not our place to judge. Thanks squeezy - I will have a look. Obvs am finding it challenging hence the post and yes have looked in high street shops but is always hit and miss to find longer tops with long sleeves that are good in corporate environment (clean lines elegant good quality ) and not on beach on Bahamas . Was hoping someone knew of a brand that consistently brought out these kind of tops rather than on a seasonal basis . Good luck everyone in same position and will let you know if I find anything else . Cos looked good and also & other stories.

I'm perfectly calm Hmm

"longer tops with long sleeves that are good in corporate environment (clean lines elegant good quality ) and not on beach on Bahamas . Was hoping someone knew of a brand that consistently brought out these kind of tops rather than on a seasonal basis"

Now that is clearer. Cos, Jigsaw, Hobbs, MaxMara, Laura Ashley, Orla Kiely, Boden, Next, Debenhams, Principles, Austin Reed, Phase Eight, (and Closet Clothing and Pinstripe and Pearls are a couple I found via the wonder of Google)

Has anyone read the op? I did not write it.
Like I have said, I just answered the question asked. I did not say that I find it hard to find tops that are not low cut, I listed the places I shop - zara oasis topshop charity shops in case it was of help to the op. Nowhere in any post did I ask for advice on where to buy tops as I don't like men looking at me. I am fussy with skirts above knee not mini and I do find them hard to find. I have not asked for any advice on how to dress modestly!

Yes, I know you didn't write the OP.
