Seemingly impossible quest...the long sleeved, long bodied t shirt!

I have been going through the pages of La Redoute until my eyes hurt...

I can't find anything. I just want a few long, (Boden tops need not apply!) long sleeved (not 3/4!) simple, slightly stretch tops in plain, normal colours.

It is impossible.

is there NOwhere that sells such things?

I do not want anything with a lace-camisole-effect trim, a 'fancy back' or ruching.

Just some tops.

Long Tall Sally

Try Kettlewell. They do long sleeved tops in a choice of colours.

H&M Hennes

I second Long Tall Sally. Although I think their designs are usually hideous, if it's just a plain top you're after which they can't muck up, they are very good. Proper long bodies cut for tall women and good quality cotton.

Dorothy Perkins! I just bought two and they're like the holy grail of t-shirts with proper long sleeves and everything.

SpeedyGonzalez · 10/02/2010 18:44

I second Dotty P's.

Metatron · 10/02/2010 18:51

the m &s perfect one is v good but thin.

Angeliz · 10/02/2010 18:52

just got some nice ones at Asda

milge · 10/02/2010 18:52

Just gotsome from m&s - ribbed with envelope neck. if the website wasn't so shiyte I would do a link for you ...

MarineIguana · 10/02/2010 18:56

Jack Wills - look in the clearance and layering sections too. £££ but OK in the sale. They are the best I have found for being really long in the body and arms, also good quality and long-lasting.

hellsbelles · 10/02/2010 19:46

FA - asos sell gap on line... here not sure what that particular top is like but it seems to fit the bill?

hellsbelles · 10/02/2010 19:48

also this here

Again - I haven't got it myself but looks quite long

Flightattendant · 12/02/2010 13:56

Just want to say thanks again for all the ideas...have been looking at Jack Wills and Oh my, it is easy to spend money there!!

Got one really nice top, am ordering another...and some more lounge pants, which are just lovely...!

thankyou.

Next now sell a tall tange with long arms and bodies. Mail order only. Reasonably priced.

butadream · 12/02/2010 20:11

I got a white T-shirt type in Primark that was OK for that, I'm 5'8" with a long back

Flightattendant · 13/02/2010 08:00

Thanks!
I tried Dotty Ps yesterday but they had nothing left except in a size 18 or 20. Went to New Look and got three nice long tops in actually fairly decent colours, for £7 each. So am happy now

btw, Jack Wills 'loungewear' - is it Ok to actually live in it? I have had same pjs on all yesterday evening, all night and now I am considering not taking them off all day
