Very specific vest tops...

16 replies

JuvenileBigfoot · 20/06/2024 21:44

I was looking for basic vests today and couldn't find what I wanted. I didn't realise I was so fussy...

Me: Size 18, big tits, small waist, pooch, short legs with long torso, flat arse.

What I want: wide straps, form fitting, stretchy, not see-through, at least mid butt length, not too high necked but not "bonjour and welcome to Tit-topia". Would also like them to not ride up.

Anyone got suggestions?

I got mine from New Look. Decent thickness fabric and cover my bra straps.

Shinyandnew1 · 20/06/2024 22:10

Matalan are really good.

(Can I ask what a pooch is here? Not a dog!?)

Do you have a boyes near you ? Think they are Yorkshire (ish!) my friend got a perfect best top from there for £6 (black white or sage green)

Another vote for Matalan, super hard wearing and nice and long, very flattering boob wise

I like the M&S vest tops but size down for a neater fit.
I treated myself to an Albaray vest top. It was more expensive but is a beautiful quality and shape that will last forever.

Second vote for new look. Great quality, lovely fabric. I always by mine from there.

Shuttheblinds · 20/06/2024 22:32

Matalan or Asda. I am tall so need longer ones too because I have a long torso. M&S are too short for me.

Bonjour and welcome to Tit-topia
Favourite thing I’ve read today!

Yes, M&S. I like ribbed vest tops and there’s were the best last year and still are this year. I used to pay a lot more for them from Boden, but they have changed theirs, so they are now too short, have a low rounded back and thinner straps. M&S ribbed vests are the bees knees and only £8!! I’m the same size as you. Post Menopause has stolen some of my waist, but I also have big boobies and a flat arse.

I did look in M&S but I wasn't a fan of the ribbing!

I'll have a squiz in New Look, but Matalan seems to be the winner!
