32F, struggling to find a good simple t-shirt

15 replies

Can anyone recommend a really good basic Tshirt for big boobs? I’m size 10-12 everywhere else but 32F and I find that t shirts tend to look strained at the front or else the bottom hem at the front rises up. Alternatively if my Tshirt fits at the bust it’s too big everywhere else.

Good quality thick cotton also appreciated. I don’t mind spending a bit for a decent one.

Thank you!

fairlie curves might work

Curved not curves!

Uniqlo V necks are quite good though often in colours that are annoyingly similar (cream, grey, khaki etc), Kettlewell has lovely colours and their everyday V neck has a tight enough fit to be flattering, but the cotton isn’t that thick and they fade and look tired quite fast (a year or two).

My ideal would be Lands End V necks but in a less boxy style (the fabric and colours are great).

Thanks very much- will have a look.

I have some from Uniqlo a few years ago that are lasting really well. Thick cotton, and fitted without straining. Otherwise I find ribbed t-shirts are better for fitted, or if going for baggy, have it stop at your waist.

Issue with Uniqlo is they have so many different styles and sometimes their styles are intentionally oversized. The online fitting advice consistently tries to put me in a size larger than the size that suits me regardless of the style. What I'm saying is, you need to go to a large store really and try their stuff on.

32F isn’t really that big (thats what size I am,too). I like to go to H&M or Monki, but I think that might be online only now.

I'm a 30G size 10 and all my t shirts either look like maternity clothes or I walk around like booby mcboobface.

It wasn't so bad when there were lots of v necks available but they're so rare now.

I tend to wear a vest or cami top with a little shirt or shoulder cover on top.

These work well for me and I’m a 34L

I'm thinking of buying this from Next - Black/White Stripe V-Neck Cap Sleeve T-Shirt

Thanks @lazysundaymorning0 I see they've a few v neck styles. Must be coming back in fashion. I might stock up. 😊

I echo Next cap sleeve t-shirts. I’m a 32H and a size 10-12 and buy these in a 12. I’ve been buying these for years as my basic go-to and would be lost without them.

OP I second Fairlie Curved. Designed especially for larger busts, good quality and loads of colours.

32F isn't very big in my world.
I got levis basic t shirts and really like them. Small logo
