The perfect t-shirt

Is difficult to find. Ideally I want a boat neck style (flattering for the large chested!), long enough to hide Mum tum and the sort of quality that doesn't make me want to throw it away after 3 washes. The one pictured below from Next is actually ideal but they don't do a plain version and I'm not really feeling the sequins. Any ideas?

I have these from Amazon in grey, black and white. Haven’t washed them yet but I really like them so far - decent quality material so they hang well without being too clingy, and not see through.

Would you kindly do a link as I need a couple of grey for work and these appear to hang well.🙏

@cuparfull I’m ashamed to say I don’t know how to do links, I’m sorry. But if you go to Amazon U.K., search for the Aokosor Store, and search for grey t-shirt, it’s fairly easy to find.

A brief update. I tried the £7.50 Next cap-sleeve and it did fit well. However after washing it looks more £3.50...with a puckered hem and the sleeves not sitting well (as I feared). The one I posted originally with the star albeit polycotton looks so much better after washing.

I have had a surprise success with a River Island t-shirt (not been in there for years!) which I thought would be unflattering because of the high neck but it sits really nicely. This has inspired me to try to the Cos A-line t-shirts mentioned by a PP. Also the Bam version.

I watched someone cut up a regular supermarket T-shirt to make it fit properly

Thats what I often do. I don’t like them too long or with loads of excess material flapping around my middle.

I love the t shirt you've pictured here, can you link please ?

Currently primark gave gorgeous soft low v neck white t shirts - they are perfect. Shit quality but really cheap. I've bough 6 of them & dyed a couple (came out well)

@Nailest can you share a link for that Amazon T-shirt please? I can't find the right one. Love the look of this x
