Plain cotton tunic tops

11 replies

Trying to find some plain, short sleeved, cotton/thin tunic tops. Preferably with a short sleeve. I have several patterned summer trousers and need some longer length plain tops to go with them. Do they exist anywhere? Have been searching with no success.
ThanksSmile

The bhs tops seem to all be patterned, I really need plain ones.
On the plus side I have ordered a couple of beach cover ups for my hols so thanks for the tip!

Next?

They look good GreenSand do you know what their sizing is like? I am usually a 14-16 depending on the fit. Thank youSmile

Can only base it on my recent Next shopping spree, where I was pleasantly surprised how small I was. My 2015 trouser shopping was firmly a 16, but I'm definitely a 14 now, and even considered trying on a 12. So, I'd say size down, and hence a 14.
But I suspect that will be a fallacy, and Next will make tops size up territory GrinConfused

I bought two of those Next Tee's that GreenSand linked to and am a 12-14 in Next sizing and the 14 fitted perfectly, so I would say true to size as I consider myself a size 14. I'm 5'10" and they are quite long on me around mid thigh.

Thank you for your replies. Maybe they would be long on me though as I am 5ft 6". I do like a longer top (chunky thighs!) so might order and try on.

Try www.rupalionline.com, mostly clothing for the Asian market. However they do lots of lovely cotton tunics at really good prices.
