Tummy-baring tops

DD1 is coming up to 3 & fairly tall (75th centile for height when last measured I think).

She's still mainly in 2-3 yr old clothes and trousers/skirts for that age all seem to fit fine for length, but tops are all suddenly far too short every top she owns is baring her midriff to the world, including some 2-4 yr tops I bought thinking they'd last her a good while.

She always has a strip of tummy or vest on display between her top and bottoms, which looks so scruffy and chilly too!

Anyone out there that can recommend shops where the girls tops come up a bit longer in size? Sleeve lengths seem to be fine, it's just the bit round her midriff. Or otherwise she'll have to live in dresses and leggings this summer...

I'm not sure about girls, but my nephew is also 3 and he's very very chunky (and if i'm honest he's almost certainly overweight if not possibly obese) his tops always show a lot of his midriff, but when his mum started buying tops for him from next, they covered all of his tummy, she got size 2 to 4. hope this helps :)
