I want a particular style of top and I can't find one. Help!

I have an old top, falling apart, really scruffy, but it is a fantastic flattering shape. It is casual, stretchy T shirt material and has a scooped neck but, this is the important book, the neckline is very slightly gathered, and it is such a flattering shape.

I want to find one similar, but also ideally with longer sleeves and a longer body. The original top came from Wallis of all places, but they don't sell anything similar these days.

Has anyone seen anything similar, anywhere? Preferably online...

Phase eight used to do this kind of neckline. I also had similar from m&s.

I know what you mean, I find them good around the boob - they drape well.

Yes, that is exactly it! I am self conscious, hate having big boobs, and this is by far the most flattering shape that I have found. It drapes without clinging, but also goes in again at the waist therefore giving me an actual shape. And no stretching and straining at the boobs.

Black, short sleeves though, Macy's

Boden normally do this kind of thing. I've also had a few from white stuff although not for a few years.

Amazon and short sleeves, but millions of colours here

What about this - SlouchTop

Or this even - VNeck

Thank you for the suggestions. Those Amazon ones are just a bit too...voluminous, I think they would make me look very big round the middle. But I do appreciate your suggestion all the same. Smile

The one in the last link looks like a possibility, it's still a bit more billowy than the one I am trying to replace, but it might work.

Thanks everyone.

@treaclesoda I've just been browsing and saw this and immediately thought of this thread for some reason! If you are still looking for that perfect replacement, what about this www.bonprix.co.uk/products/v-neck-modal-top//A-909035_26?cs_ev=browse--page1--listPosition28--none--PLP--refined
