Blouses that stop at lower hip line

I am after workwear blouses/tops to be worn out and not tucked in with trousers and that finish at the lower hip line, so that they cover my stomach. I’m finding that most tops/blouses in my size 18-20 end up halfway to my knees, which look ridiculous and scruffy - plus I’m 5”5, so wider not taller with height.

Has anyone seen some smart work tops and blouses please that end at the lower hip line, as per my red markings on the attached photos?

Looking at High St priced like M&S, Next, H&M. I have tried a few in H&M that I thought would be good but the overall fit was awful. I’m fed up with Vinted so I want to buy new where I can return items.

Hi, I know what you mean op. I like tops that sit just on my hips as it balances me out. It's harder than you'd expect to find tops just the right size. I have worked out that the right length for me is 20 - 21 inches. I'm 5' 3". Hardly any retailers give the shoulder to hem measurement, but I have learnt to eyeball it quite well.

Tops that do work really for me are these from Zara:

They are lightweight and drape nicely and come in many colours. They come up quite big. I'm a 10/12 and an S fits nicely. They always have them in store.
