Where can I find inexpensive long line vests?

A few years ago Primark did some longer vests in pretty much every colour. They were £1.80 and had adjustable bra type straps and were long enough to pull down over the waistband of your jeans etc and cover half your bum. I lived on them while I was pregnant. Now they've redesigned them, and they are SHORT!!
I have looked everywhere really. What I'm after is fairly cheap, longer vests, preferably with adjustable straps, in basic colours such as black, grey, white etc. If the straps aren't adjustable they really need to be the thin spaghetti sort so I can wear under dresses and tops.
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

I'm so glad you posted this! I thought it was just me!
They were my staple through 3 pregnancies and breastfeeding (they were perfect for wearing under tops/jumpers and pulling down.

I bought a load about 3 weeks ago and was surprised that they barely cover my waistband!

I am also looking for inexpensive vests but ones with racer backs. I also bought mine a few years ago from primark but they are nowhere to be seen.

Can anyone suggest a good (non-gym) racer back vest?

I love the Matalan ones. Whenever I go in I buy another few. I wear them loads, even tonnes, and they hold they're shape brilliantly.

If you buy the normal length ones from long tall sally they will be long line. Size down though a 14-16 is a medium.

I have loads on of these camis they do both modal and cotton.

H&M longline ones are great, last for ages and are v reasonable.

Next do them.

Peacock. Very cheap.

Next do them, I got some last week at about £6ish. Very long and decent material.

Asos do a pack of two longline vests for £12 here

Good quality, washed to death and still going strong.

I'm 5'11 and they're long on me.

Wow, thank you so much for the replies!! Some fab suggestions here!

I went to Primark and found the Cami dresses. They are exactly what I used when I was pregnant and breastfeeding however it seems everyone knows they're fab as all they had left were size 4s (which I didn't even know existed!!) Confused

I will be keeping my eyes peeled for them in the future! And I will report back. Grin

Matalan

I got some great ones on Forever 21 a while ago but they've go so many I'm not sure which it was. I think it was their Basic Cami

M&S. I'm 6' with a long torso and they almost cover my bum.
