lovemywhirlygirls Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 We are looking for tank tops for my 13 year old dd that she can layer under other shirts/tanks/dresses for spring and summer. DD is tallish and thin with obvious curves in the obvious places. She likes LONG tanks so that she can move freely without showing her midriff. The ones we've tried so far are cut pretty low in the front. We are wanting them cut high enough that she can move freely (including bending over) without over-sharing. Is there such a thing these days? (I tried the 12-14 and 14-16 tanks in a couple of children's departments because they are cut a bit higher, but they are also short at the waist. Would love recommendations. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibbygirl Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Have you checked Forever21.com?? They have TONS of t-shirts in all kinds of styles. They're really cute too. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're welcome honey. :) You can check H&M too if you have one near you. They have cute stuff too. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrixieB Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I found some Converse tanks for dd at Target. They have a rounded neck and aren't too lowcut, plus they are long enough to cover the midriff. I found them with the misses/junior clothes. Also I saw some tanks in the junior department at Kohls. They are racerback style and I don't know about the cut/length, but next time we are at Kohls I plan to have my dd try one on to see. I can't remember if they are v-neck or rounded neck. Penneys has tanks in the junior department but I don't know what their cut/length is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocelotmom Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Old Navy has longer tanks. On their website, they have a "tall" option for many of the shirts. I'm tall with a long torso, so this is something I'm sensitive to, and their stuff has worked for me. Gap.com also has a tall section. I tend to steal DH's tanks, myself. They were long enough to even cover my belly up until the last two weeks or so of pregnancy :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingersmom Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I would try Hollister or Abercrombie & Fitch or any of those teen mall stores. My daughter insists on wearing tank tops under everything. The ones she has are long and fairly clingy so that if she leans forward they stay in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemywhirlygirls Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) My daughter insists on wearing tank tops under everything. The ones she has are long and fairly clingy so that if she leans forward they stay in place. The ones we have tried are snug fitting as well, but cut fairly low at the top. If she's just standing there, they are mostly ok, but they are low enough that when she moves around your eye is drawn to the area and if she bends over even the slightest, all of her "information" is visible. (Note that I am not particularly prudish. I am fine with tank tops. I just want them cut a little higher than I've found....so that she can be comfortable to move freely!) Thanks! ETA--I don't mean "prudish" negatively, though it might read that way. I just mean that, while I would consider our choices of dress to the conservative end of things, my girls do sometimes wear clothing that I'm sure others on this board would not choose.

meena Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I'm petite and have the same issue as your daughter. You might take a look at downeastbasics.com and shadeclothing.com. Both sites have a selection of modest tees and tanks. I've also found the tanks and camis on Kohls website that are higher cut. This one is a good price and doesn't appear to have as much of a scooped neckline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solascriptura Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Try www.sakurarose.com The layering tanks come up high enough and are long enough on the bottom to be modest but cute. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty in Pink Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I prefer GAP favorite tanks and camisoles. Their Pure Body line also has a tank with a higher neckline. http://www.gap.com/browse/category.do?cid=17081 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyDay Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I just bought some for dd (and myself) at Sears. They were just over $5 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternalknot Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 My teen-aged sister has the same problem. We both really like Gap tank tops, but they can get pricey. I always get weekly coupons from their website that helps, and the outlets always have them as well. I find they're worth the extra money because they're thicker and more comfy. I layer them under shirts, but I don't think I'd layer them under a dress. I also like the Converse tanks at Target. They are lesser quality, and I find the more I wash them the worse they get - but just along the hems. If it's tucked in, no problemo. I wash mine lots because I wear them daily. If you're looking online, try Modbe. I wore a lot of their stuff when I was pregnant because it was more modest, but fitted enough to stay put. Looks like it had gone out of business since then, but is now back up and running. I loved the feel of their stuff; not sure if it's same manufacturer but their prior stuff was great.
