Recommendations for size 20 tops with a flattering longer length

[Iftheskywasbkue]

I’m looking for shirts/tops suitable for either work or casual that will fit a size 20 - but, are not too short that they show my stomach or are huge and tent-like and come halfway to my knees (like anything from YOURS, which I dislike).

Has anyone come across any particular tops and shirts that come to the top of thighs and roomy enough when you sit down?

High St prices like M&S, Next etc rather than £££ as I’m trying to lose weight and don’t want to spend too much.

I love a bit of Victoriana & ruffles ... £30 & new from Jaeger.

Another print I quite like! If it's long enough - you'd need to check. And hopefully the seller has a tape measure! (So many don't! It amazes me ...)

Silk Jaeger floaty blouse. Even if these are slightly shorter than you'd like, I find that wearing them over a longer sleeveless vest top works. Generally not a stretchy one, one that flares out rather than clings.

Marina Rinaldi, which a PP mentioned, will be great quality. This is a silk tunic. You'll need to double-check their very specific sizing against a UK 20. Elegant with wide trousers.

Several colours, smart, & a little bit more fitted as well as long.

I'm going to get @EleanorMc67 to do all my shopping for me in future.

A really useful denim tunic.

Just put in a request! 😁

Wallis also do some longer length tops too.
@EleanorMc67 you definitely should be a personal shopper or stylist, love your posts

Maybe try Finery. They have the occasional item with natural fibres and plain (I can’t stand prints!)

Seasalt tunics - love them

With ref to the comments that people should become stylists I agree. I don't even know how to do the links so pictures show! There is a lot of great advice on here. It is my favourite section to read.

I use asos, their own brand T-shirts cover my bum and I’m 5ft7

Beyond nine and damson madder both have lovely comfy and flattering tops!

Thanks - that's very kind of you! I find it fun when I'm having issues sleeping ...!!! And I'm a landscape architect, now specialising in garden design - so, in design terms & principles, it's actually not that dissimilar in certain ways.

That's why I tend to interrogate people on their likes/dislikes/colouring etc if they've not provided much info - it's what I do with my garden clients too, as it helps refine choices so that I can suggest things they're more likely to enjoy - or wear in this case!

I always used to get perfect tops from JD Williams when I was a size 20. They were always perfect.
I still wear their tops now Im size 10.
In fact I have one on today. Its perfect.

White Stuff have a sale on at the moment - the Bianca tunic is long (I have it!) comes in a 20. Really lovely shape 😍

I like Kaffe teeshirts. Well cut for bigger sizes and nice quality
