I hate wearing t shirts because I have fat arms and am large of nork and feel they make me look huge.

I want something simple that isn't ruffled/ruched/floaty just something I can put on look decent cover my arms not have masses of excess fabric making me look fatter or figure hugging to highlight my apple belly.

Do such tops exist?

Batwing I like but I can't seem to find anything, kimono style is still around isn't it?

Plain fabrics work well.
I'm busty too and I wasted years worrying about this. Now I don't care. Go to body pump or some similar weights class. Then fuck em. If it's over 25 (my rule) go sleeveless.
A pretty face nice hair and huge smile detracts.

Also. Just lose weight. Go hard. Life is too short to hate your body.
And I know it's not always easy. But it's so worth it. ❤️

A thin cotton shirt with sleeves rolled up to the elbow and several buttons undone to flatter your bust?Also saves too much faffing with sun cream.

I've got this www.cosstores.com/gb/Women/Tops/Oversized_Silk_Top/46885-73320553.1#c-22755
Which might suit? The sleeves are noticeably wider than on an average t shirt but without being flared or comically wide.

I too have grown wings (and bizarrely one is much larger than the other). For years I wouldn't dare expose them to light, but now I think "Sod it". Life is too short to be uncomfortable and covered up when it's hot. Nobody has passed out at the sight of them yet.

Agree with Nite flights, simple cotton or linen shirts are great in summer. Decent coverage but also cool and wafty.

Bardot tops in a lightweight fabric taper great for covering upper arms and are very flattering for most sizes.
