Flattering t-shirts for 50 year old, size 12

[supersun23]

I need to find some that suit a 38C bra size and are flattering! I usually wear them with wide or barrel jeans in the summer. TIA

Also any flattering long sleeved tops too!

Define flattering for you - What's your preference re. colour, neckline, fabric etc. Budget?
(Also, I'm sure one of the bra experts will be along to say you can't be a 38c and a 12, and you need to get measured but I'll leave that to them.)

Something that slims me and doesn't look too boxy. Fitted but not too tight. Definitely a 38c and a 12. TIA

Bump

A size 12 would usually have a 32 possibly 34 bra band size, a 38 would be more a 16 to 18. I think you’re wearing ghe wrong bra size. It should be smaller band and bigger cups.

sorry no T-shirt recommendations but wanted to say, if the cups are too small you would need a bigger band size to get it on.

Are you sure you’re a 38C ? I am also 50 and a size 12 my bra is 32GG
I don’t see how you’re a size 12 and 38 bra band try smaller bra bands like 34 or 32 and go up cup sizes, probably quite a few not just to D
Anyway, T-shirts go for something fitted like a size small or extra small and try on different sizes until you like the fit

What sort of neckline are you looking for?
There is a current thread about v necks which are generally considered to be flattering on a large bust. (Agree your bra size sounds off for a 12).

I have a few of these ones from New Look which I think are quite flattering on a bust. I've sized down. I don't like v necks myself despite being a 30FF because I have a long scraggly neck.

These are thin but that means they drape.

Great thank you

You need to be on the V neck thread it is a revelation and lots of suggestions.

Oh ! yes here 😀

I’m 36D and size 12 in t-shirts, I’m quite narrow in shoulders, it’s just my menopausal bust. Also t shirts have generous cut nowadays
M&S has linen blend tshirts, which are very good if it’s your colours. They also had them in v neck last year so maybe will get them again.
M&S also has more various v neck things in tops and cardigans.
I would be careful with New look cotton tshirts I’ve bought some few months ago and they all got smaller after washing (and it’s easy low temperature washing) so now they are more like big size 8.

Here I am. OP, T shirts will be a lot more flattering if your bra fits and you are very unlikely to be a 38C at a size 12. I'm a 30" back and a size 14.

Ignore this if you want but I think your t-shirts will look very different indeed if you try a 32E or even a 30EE, which are both sister sizes to your 38C.

The Set from Next. I’ve recently bought a pack of v neck and they are washing well with no twisting. Not sure about the over 50 part though as I’m just under.
