Where are all the long tops? Am I the only human alive who wears them?

I just want some long (bum covering), light, pretty tee-shirts/tops/tunics (but not proper tunic-et tunics if you now what I mean).

Do these not exist?

I don't want a shirt.
I don't want a blouse.
I don't want a vet or cami.
I don't want a short top that cuts off at my muffin top.

Just a nice, long top I can wear with skinny jeans.

Anyone have any ideas of where to find one? Eternally grateful if so!

I have loads of long tops & vests from Long Tall Sally. They aren't cheap, but they are decent quality.

Have ordered. Thank you bikerunski you sound a similar body shape.

I buy H&m basics tshirts, I'm 5'3" and could easily pass them off as dresses, they are quite soft and wash well.

Another vote for Next longline vests, LOVE then. I wear one under everything, means I can wear any shorter top but still cover my butt and belly and it makes me look all smooth. Just ordered another couple.

I have tried the "long vest under" thing, but I get too hot often, a d I find that the top layer doesn't sit properly.

Oh excellent - lots of options to investigate!

I'm tall, yes - 5'11. And slim-ish but with dreaded c-section overhang and muffin top.

BooHoo has a few things I like (bargainous, too).

ASOS - everything seems high necked. I need a v-neck and scoop (

Will look at LTS.

Thanks all Grin

I know what you mean. I have had loads of tops that show my tummy.

I just got a pack of 2 tunics from Simply Be - they go down to my thighs, cover bum, fit well. One navy, one navy & white. I got them in a 20 as I like a bit of room up top (so not to show bra rolls etc).

This is long. More flattering in real life.

My bugbear is how rare it is to see the length of tops listed. I don't want to have to piece it together by being told how tall the model is
