Long tops

Well, not long really, just 'normal' length. I know it's just the fashion at the moment, but I'm in desperate need of some new vests and nice tops, and everything is too short!

In fairness, I've got fairly big boobs which make most tops a bit shorter, but surely there must still be some nice longer tops out there which don't stop on my waist and show my tummy every time I move?!

All the recommendations please - especially for plain/coloured jersey tank top style vests.

following!

Boden’t double layer vests used to be the holy grail for this and then they shortened them….

Try long tall Sally.

Made for tall or long legged people. I use them for jeans/trousers as despite not being super tall, i do have long legs. But the tops are long too.and decent quality.

Try Seasalt, some of their tops are longer and they helpfully provide measurements for a lot of their styles.

Haven’t tried this one but found a UK company called Jumping Ships which does tops in various lengths eg a V neck Tshirt can be 75cm. I think they will customise too, if you’re really stuck. They’re not high fashion - they appear to be a UK-made alternative to fast fashion.

These are normal length T-shirts imo. Also have a large bust.

I have the same issue and Seasalt works for me, just a shame it’s a pricy avenue to go down.

These are super long, very soft and comfortable and some colours in the sale at the moment

Ooh that's a good idea. I worry that the straps/shoulder to bust measurement will be too much though. Always a risk of showing the side of bra through the arm holes.

Not heard of this brand, thanks! I like the gathered hem... all the comfort of maternity wear without the baby! 😂

I have no problem with the tops, I'm not tall on top, I'm big busted but I like a longer length top and like you, not finding any on the high street. So as I already buy trousers there, I tried a few tops. From the sale lines. I like them, they fit well, just longer.
I bought a glittery purple top

I use Cos tanks, they're a bit longer than most.

Masai clothing have t shirts and tops in varying lengths, measurements in size guide. https://www.masai.co.uk/?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMImvae4tTnhgMVQZpQBh3YhQjtEAAYASAAEgL1aPD_BwE I have some of the Digna t shirts which are about 72cm long and double lined at the bust, as well as vests and longer sleeved jersey tops. Expensive but usually offers every so often and they wash and wear very well , still wearing some that are 5 years old.Think sale starts this week so could be good timing
