Hourglass - Need basic tops!

A couple of years ago I bought THE PERFECT TSHIRT (my name for it, not theirs Wink ) from Gap. It's cut beautifully for an hourglass figure, fits across the boobs then really goes in at the waist. Skims, doesn't cling. V neck.

Unfortunately (Fortunately!!) I've lost some weight since then, and it's too big for me now, and can I buggery find a replacement for it! Gap no longer sell them, and I've tried Primark, H&M, Dorothy Perkins, River Island, New look, all no good!

Their T shirts are fine but they're very straight up and down and don't have much of a waist cut into them IYSWIM? Does anyone else have this problem? There's a fair difference in size between my boobs and waist and t shirts that fit my boobs tend to completely disguise my waist!

I don't know if they still stock them but last season pepper berry did a very basic plain coloured v neck t shirt which was pretty good

Wrap tops are good for small waists and big boobs. I can hardly fit my boobs in anything that fits the rest of me (waist isn't that small but boobs are big, even bigger now in pregnant!) and I find these a flattering solution x

I'm wearing this T shirt from Uniqlo and think it fits well on the waist and chest.

watching with interest esp for 100% cotton tops; the ones with spandex/elastane or any percentage of manmade fibres make me hum!

Thank you for the replies! I did have a look at Pepperberry but all their tshirts are patterned this year! Typical! I've never tried Uniqlo, I can't really tell from that picture, is there much of a defined waist? I always look at wrap tops if I see them Helen! I have a couple of winter ones but they seem rare!

These from Marks used to be v good but they've changed the fabric now, so I don't know if they are as good as they used to be. They do short sleeved too, but only in a v limited range of colours.

Hobbs used to do good ones, but the website isn't showing much currently.

I've got v neck Boden basic t that fits my hour glass figure well.
