Am about 10lbs heaver than ideal and feel that lots of tops I try on feel too short - riding up with norks and exposing to much tummy!

Who does nice long 'school run' tops for wearing with 3/4 trousers etc...

tesco do some really nice long line vest tops, that you can wear underneath ordinary length tops to hid bits away

oh yes, I have this bugbear too. Problem is, the long ones I've seen are really frumpy and old-fashioned so I'll be interested in any replies you get

And I don't want long lycra ones which highlight any muffin-esque tendencies....

And I don't really want pure cotton/linen ones which need ironing...

Do I have to go to a Tesco shop or can I buy online?

"easy rider"

What other colours? I'm rather into subtle colours (am blonde, look cheap in bolds...)

Long Tall Sally tops are generally longer because they are meant for taller women

as said before go to tesco get the floernce and fred vest and wear underneath t shirts. i actually love tesco t shirts in general as they are really long. I am short but find it much more flattering to wear a longerline tshirt and tesco is the only place that sell them reasonably and they retain their shape. Not sure what size you are but I have bought the tall range t shirts in dp's and topshop before. I am size 8-10 with dd boobs so have experience of riding up!!!

Also the t-shirts by Tu in Sainsburys are a decent length - and cheap too

Cod - Did you have to do anything unspeakable to your husband in exchange for your easy-rider top? In the interests of Fairtrade, of course.
