long vests for tall people?

Can anyone suggest where I could get long as in over the bum length vests? I'm 5'9 and the thinner the fabric the better as they're for under tops to keep my modesty bending down at work!
Thankyou

Easy one this...Matalan! I've got grey and black.

Nice and stretchy and wash well. There is a 20% off code at the moment too.

I'm the same height as you, I find H&M vests are the best - in fact I bought 3 today (white, black and khaki) £3.99 each. They can cover my bum if I pull it down but I like to wear them just below my hips.

I second the H&M vests. Brilliant. Wear them every day.

Would you size down with the matalan vests? of are they pretty true to size? I'm inbetween a 14 and a 12 for bottoms?

Next tall vests are very long

@SpecialCircumstances - I would say the Matalan vests are true to size with lots of stretch. If anything, I would size down.

I have a few of the H&M ones and they're lovely and long. The next ones weren't long enough for me and I'm 5'9. I also picked one up in Asda that was very long too.
