Simple white vest top - why so elusive!

Hello ladies, hopefully someone can help me find the elusive white vest top I am looking for. I want it to have a good stretch, and be long(ish) I am 5'6 and like it to sit about an inch/two down my bum, not at the top of my hip bones (aka where my C.S. flap/scar is).

Unless I've bought the wrong ones Primark are def the wrong ones for me, zero stretch.

I wear one under every top as it is easier for breastfeeding DS.

I'm looking online as I live in the middle of nowhere and nearest shopping centre is about an hours drive.

I got married in October and got this to wear under the cream/patterned silk dress I got for the wedding.

I have worn it a lot this winter under other tops. It is stretchy but I would go one size up for breastfeeding:

They also do a (more expensive) but softer and stretchier wool/silk version, I don't have that, but have their wool/silk nightdress which is lovely:

The vests are off white rather than white, but should last for years if looked after and shouldn't stain like cotton/synthetics.

Matalan do a lovely vest top which comes to just under bum length. Very stretchy too, but you need to size up if you're wanting it to stretch from bottom up to boob to BF. Only a fiver. I've got 6 in all colours to wear as vests in the winter.

Another vote for Matalan. They do vest tops in two lengths, good and stretchy. I live in them as my base layer.
