What's the name of this style top and can you help with elusive pj's??

What do you call a top which is tight around the bust, has elastic that goes around under the bust to sort of cup them, and then sort of flares out to cover stomach and hips?

Please help! I am pregnant, nearly at 2nd trimester, so needs to be roomy!

And where can I find a light cotton pair of pj's, it has to be vest top (I get so hot at night) with shorts that arent so freaking short they turn into a pair of knickers as soon as I sit down? NB I'm not a fan of 3/4 length trousers. I just want shorts that aren't tight or too...well...short.

Hope the top is nice when it arrives!

I think the style is called babydoll, but you'd probably have to specify cotton to get the 50s style you want rather than nylon sweatiness.

MsSquiz - those shorts are too short for my thighs!

Googled babydoll tops but they aren't waht I was thinking of..thanks anyway!

I still don't know the name of the vest top I want, tight on the boobs, with the elasticated seam under the bust and loose flare from the bust downwards.

Humpf! Fed up in this bloody heat

Fit and flare vest maybe? Like others I would have said empire line top.

This any use? www.yoursclothing.co.uk/black-broderie-anglaise-shirred-vest-p
