Long T-shirts for plus sized and tall ??

11 replies

Mellonsprite · 19/09/2020 18:07

I’m 5’9, with a long body as opposed to long legs, and struggling to get decent quality longer T-shirt’s (and swimwear tbh). The issue is I’m plus sized and size 22 currently (but dieting), next tall only goes upto size 20, and since long tall sally closed l’m struggling. I hate t-shirts being short and wide and flapping around my waist band, I need a bit of length!
Has anyone got any suggestions please?

ASOS are good and have tall and plus size ranges that have a good selection of sizes.
My only other suggestion would be searching specifically for longline T-shirts or even T-shirt dresses that wouldn't be too long if you get them from the normal (not tall) range.

I'm 5'11" and a size 18-20 so I feel your pain!

Marks and Sparks do some longline T-shirt's, normal Mark's prices so not cheap but they come below my butt and I'm 5ft8

H&M Basic range in the Plus section

I thought long tall sally had been bought out? I am sure I had an email from them saying that they were going to continue trading?

Next do some which are called something like long line t-shirts

Following with interest... I have very similar proportions and had just about given up shopping for tops anywhere but LTS.

I'm tall (5ft 9) and get my tops from Very's tall range. They do t-shirts and camisoles and vest tops, all a very good length (i.e bum/tum coverage)

I get a lot of tops from Yours...I'm 5ft 8 & they definitely cover what they need to cover 😂

Land's End have lots of longer line jersey type tshirts, sleeveless tops and shirts, on me they are a bit too long sometimes as I'm only 5'5, but they wash and dry really well and don't shrink upwards!

OP, Long Tall Sally has been bought by another company. The website is up again.

Ooh, thanks! Fab, loads of suggestions!
I’ve bought from Yours before but they closed my local store in March and it never re-opened. Ive never used ASOS so I’ll give that a try. I’ll look at Marks long line too, but they are the biggest culprits for flappy, short & wide usually 😂
