I just want an exercise top that fits.

That's it really. I'm late 50s size 16, 5'5 , but fit and healthy. I do a yoga class and a Pilates class every week. I can't seem to find exercise tops that are long enough and I'm not exactly an amazon. I don't know how tall women manage. I've tried using ordinary T shirts but they don't seem to move in the right way for yoga and pilates, and no one wants to see my wobbly belly when I'm doing the downward dog! Any suggestions welcome!

Something like this would work

Have you tried the Good Move range at M&S? I like the double layered gym vests - the 'underneath' layer is quite long and they stay put when you lean over. The tights/leggings are good too😀

Oh yes- I like the gathered hem. Where is that from, Mercurial?

That sounds good- although it was an M&S top I was complaining about at Pilates last night! Far too short! I'll have a look for the double vest- good idea.

I don't have this style but I have a vest top and yoga pants. Quality is really good and prices are reasonable.

Sweaty Betty Athlete tops are excellent, lots of colours, lightweight and long enough . They also stay put and don't ride up. There is an offer on at the moment if you buy two. I do lots of different classes but they are particularly good at for yoga and pilates.

Have you looked at Asquith. They have some lovely longline tops.

These are a great length (the green, pink and black ones)
