Longer line t-shirts, smart enough for work, where to buy?

Any help appreciated. Having trawled the high street and come up with nothing, I'm looking for the elusive longer t-shirt to avoid post baby tummy exposure. Something maybe slightly fitted so smart enough for work, and either plain / striped / discreet pattern, definitely no logos or butterflies or whatever.
Has anyone seen any on their travels? Thanks in advance.

Watching with interest. I'm not even that tall yet 95% of tops on the high street are too short. They just sit at your waistband and cut me in half. V unflattering.

cakes I'm only 5'4 but everything is too short to be flattering on me, they just sort of float aimlessly around my non existent waist and look scruffy.

I bought a few of what are called formal t-shirts in Oasis. They're OK. I'm 5ft5 and have the same problem. The material is a bit sweaty (I've given up on finding natural fibres anywhere!) but they lasted well through last autumn and winter. Dry in minutes too.

The only flattering top I've bought recently is a Brighton Breton from Sugarhill. But not smart enough for work maybe as they have some slogans etc. Lovely length, 95% cotton (Woo hoo!) with just the right amount of stretch, good weight of fabric and wash like an absolute dream. Cannot recommend enough.

People Tree do them occasionally worth looking at their site.

I have the same problem, I'm short of leg but long in the torso which of course is what every woman wants her proportions to be Angry

The infinity top is particularly long!

I've got this, it feels really nice and looks quite smart.

Thank you all so much, I'm going to get looking and report back!

I get fitted ones from H and M and wear a fitted vest underneath.
