I need a very specific top

I’m looking for a specific top to go under a cropped fitted grey cardigan but I can’t seem to find quite the right one.

Looking for a white sleeveless fitted top that’s about belly button length but not totally cropped. I also need it to be cotton and not jersey as it needs to be fitted to go underneath the cardigan but not clingy like a vest.

so something like this but not stretchy and clingy

any ideas?

Ty AllSaints, they have some nice quality cotton vests and sleeveless t shirts.

Try searching for shell top. The lands end one might be too long but M&S looks good

I saw this but think it’s too boxy, the cardigan is very fitted and I think it would be too much material underneath it. Thank you though

I think with the elastane it would be too stretchy and clingy but thank you

I’m not sure I understand the request … all t shirts are jersey no? That’s how they have any stretch in them.

It'll be difficult to find a fitted top that isn't stretchy, cotton has no give so to allow you to get the top on and off again you need a certain amount of ease. I don't think you'll find something fitted without it being stretchy somehow. If you want unstretchy fabric, it's going to have to be a bit boxy to allow you to get it on and off.

How companies get away with not listing the fabric I have no idea but I doubt that’s cotton.
