Longer strappy / vest tops

9 replies

I need longer length tops to stop my baby belly showing if i raise my arms / pick up the kids etc.

Would ones for tall ladies work? Or can anyone recommend any longer length vest tops etc?

I wear H&M Mama vests under my clothes, originally bought when I was pregnant. They keep my wibbly bits covered whilst I am feeding DS2 in public - as they are longer than the average vest

bought very long vest from Kew in sale (pale blue colour) and another from Cos (white - lighter fabric - both sort of ribby)

also Top Shop maternity good or Tall section

I've bought a couple of bits from Topshop Tall and that does the trick.

Even with a flat tummy I find normal length tops too short sometimes anyway.

I bought one at tesco the other week and it was pretty long - I am pregnant but post baby belly still so normal length tops are abit short for me, and this went right down nearly over my bum They are £5 each and slightly ruched (??) (gathered) at the neckline. Another good thing I found after I had DS was these boob tube like things that go round your belly, so it looks like you have another layer on underneath, but they just go over your bump. M & S do them x

I can second H&M. Both their Mama and normal ranges do vests and t-shirts that are longer than anywhere else. I've worn several of their non-pregnancy vests and tops throughout my pregnancy - still doing so now and I'm 34 weeks!

Can recommend primark - they had loads in last week in some really good colours, thin adjustable straps and long in the body which l need, and just £1.50 each bargain !
