Sexy fitted tops/vests that COVER tummy!?

10 replies

I am a slim mum of 3 (DS 3, DS2 17 months, DS3 17 months) with a fairly flat tummy when standing up but that turns to twin skin when bending over - yuck. My wardrobe is all pre kids, (no time, cash etc to replenish). I need to update - don't want mumsy things, I like sexy fitted tops/vests, but they need to be long enough to be tummy safe. Can anyone recommend a shop or preferably catalogue (3 under 4 - no time). Boden seems to all cut theirs too short - any other good recommendations for a sophisticated, elegant but sexy look? Thanks!

I feel your pain!

I got a nice fitted vest top in White Stuff last year which is long enough. I think it was this one although last year they were doing it in red - this years seem more muted colours.

Thank you so much Bramshott, there's a White Stuff near me so that shouldn't be too hard. Can't believe I've had most of my tops for 10-15 years, when I was a wee lass with hips and tum to match. Time to grow up!

How about layering your tops so that you have your choice on the top, and then a plain vest underneath that tucks in to cover your tummy ?

I'm tall, and the M&S vests are a really good length even on me, and come in loads of colours

I have the same problem but have just bought a few of these in different colours and they are perfect.

Matalan cami tops anre nice and long, but my 2 Boden tops, one with a rosette on the front and the other twist fronted are long and tuck in nicely too - I speak as someone named "baggy belly" by DS2 who looks quite OK covered but rather unpalatable exposed!

I just bought this:

www.warehouse.co.uk/lilac-ditsy-swing-vest/Casual-Tops/warehouse/fcp-product/301469

They do it in a few different colours, it's fitted around the bust and straps but flares out a bit at the bottom to cover a tum! looks good with denim shorts.
