Tops for tall women?

I'm 5ft9 & have just lost some weight & because my trousers are now really loose I'm finding my tops don't cover my lower back & ride up, exposing my tum, when I lift my arms. I just want simple Bretons, things like that, but the usual suspects just aren't long enough. Anyone know of any good long tops?

My go-to is Gap as they seem long enough and don't ride up. Also make sure you're wearing a belt! And maybe it's the trousers that need replacing rather than the tops?

For super-duper long tops, Baukjen are good, but expensive, for v tight long layering tops.

Long tall Sally
Boden are doing long versions of some things, I got a nice Breton top

I do need long trousers but have to wait till pay day for those, was thinking a Breton would be fairly cheap in the meantime. Haven't tried Gap thank you will have a look.

Look at Kettlewell Colours. The reviews for some of the tops (I looked at the roll neck) report that they are designed for the long of arm and body.

Yes, Boden do some things in a long line now. Baukjen do some really long basics. Gap also.

I'm 5'10 and have a similar problem with things not being long enough! I shop a lot at Beaumont Organic, they do some really nice longer styles that are nice and loose but still flattering. They have a really nice Breton stripe top that I have called Callan but it's sold out now :( Their model is a similar height to me so it's nice and easy to gauge the length.

Esprit are great for longline vests, tshirts and tops.
