Longer-length t-shirts

A T-shirt in winter!! Even indoors I usually have layer after layer on here to try and keep warm! How much heating do you have on?!

Exacrtly what I was thinking, Lucky!

Primark teeshirts are longer (as are Sainsburys) but need to check quality as it varies. There's a good range of colours too.

Central heating on for half an hour in the morning. Then the log burner takes over and heats the whole house. When it is on all day I have to open the window in our bedroom above or it will be 27° by bedtime!
Thanks loopylou, I don't think there is a Primark nearby though.

This is hilarious. Primark won't let me search for the nearest store to Tunbridge Wells (access denied) because of my French IP address. It will only tell me where to find the store in Paris.
Watch out Dior and Chanel - Primark is in town.

Maidstone has a large Primark

I like M&S t shirts but the price has gone up incredibly - which I wouldn't mind if they had decent colours! Last time I looked they had no black, white, navy or beige! I also want a purply grey one. I've found one in Kettlewell which was £30.

Are they long enough to cover the bum in leggings, Kitty? The BHS ones are just about, but I could do with a bit of extra length. I don't know who chooses the colours in M and S. "Could we find something just a bit more unflattering? I am sure it would sell".
Thanks Nina, Maidstone might be possible.

Maybe search for tunics instead of T-shirts?

I have some tunics but they tend to be long-sleeved and quite often thicker fabrics. I wear them out but they are a bit too hot for inside (sorry to those with cold houses!).

Matalan have plenty of longer T shirts, some with dipped hems. I have one of these Dipped hem T shirt which washes well with no need to iron.

It probably isn't the best time of year to try to find teeshirts, but you might have a look at the Cotton Traders web site. I've had several tunic style tops from there in teeshirt fabric.

White Stuff T shirts are longer and Gap but they are a bit more expensive. I am wearing a jade green WS one at the moment and it covers my 'rotund' bum.

I love White Stuff, but they are a bit too nice to get splashed with curry spices! I think the essential problem is that I can't get the cheap and cheerful ones in Tunbridge Wells and I don't have a car when I am visiting.....
Might have to make a special trip to Paris for Primark.

Kitty, do you remember the good old days when we could go to the Corah shop and buy all the M&S seconds (that had nothing wrong with them!)...

I saw some longer styles in Sainsburys today, but I can't remember if they were short sleeved or not, sorry.

Be careful with the Sainbury's ones if you use a tumble dryer. They shrink.

I look for tunics now. I found a wonderful cheap shop, but they closed two years ago. I am bereft. The teens all used to wear very long t-shirts over their leggings, but I have noticed that tops are getting shorter again, so am considering adding fabric bands to the bottoms of my short t-shirts!

Brilliant idea JR. I could chop up some old t-shirts or even knit some fringes.

Very fashionable!

Layering is very much back in fashion with thinner fabrics, so you could look at some of the shorter dresses in thin fabrics that are in the shops and wear a short sleeve t-shirt on top. The dress is like a vest or cami. Looks good with most bottoms like leggings/jeggings, jeans, and trousers (shape matters with trousers - trial and error). Go for one colour all over for a less showy look. Be brave!

Google Lagenlook for some ideas and then tone them down a bit!

I also look for tunics rather than tee shirts. EBay is excellent for this. Also Amazon.

As others have said... 'layer', 'layer', 'layer' and add, and remove, as you need.
I have MS and my optimum operating temperature is 22-24C, 'temperate' - without the ability to layer, I'd be b******d and motionless on the floor!

As for suppliers, 'Long Tall Sally' have a range of longer tunics/tops - www.longtallsally.com/c/tall/tops/tunics.
Sadly, they're mostly in dull, dull, dull as befits the Autumn trend
eBay may well have some of the summer stock?
I'm 1.80m and my husband doesn't like me to show too much when wearing 'normal' length t-shirts!

Two words. Cotton Traders. Longer length, good quality, wash endlessly without going all shapeless, not expensive (especially if you can get to a CT outlet) good range of colours. Can you tell that I live in them?
