I have such a hard time finding tops that are long enough to layer. I try some, they shrink, and then are too short. Where do you buy them? FWIW, I am 5'7" and wear a small or medium normally. Do you size up for long tops, or buy your regular size? Thanks!

Old Navy though this year they don't seem quite as long as last year's (the cheap ribbed tank tops in all colors of the rainbow). Check the Gap.

Just bought some in my regular size (S) and they are really long - no shrinkage after washing. I would not size up in these, as they would be too baggy, I think.

Try the Lady Hathaway camis at Costco. They're long, stretchy and soft!

Try www.downeastbasics.com. I bought a bunch of T's and tanks from them and they are very long! And I'm 5'10!! They don't seem to shrink up, but they do seem to run tight, so I would size up.

Down East Basics. I love them! I started out with Shade shirts, but recently switched to Down East Basics. I like the fabric better and they are not quite as tight. I dry them in the dryer, even though the instructions say to line dry. I haven't noticed any shrinkage.

Yes, they are very long -- at least a few inches down my thigh.

I haven't tried them, but the new Lands End Fit 1 T-shirts and tanks are supposed to be longer.

JCrew tanks are very long, as are their perfect fit tees - I take my regular size in them. Also, American Apparel has two types of tanks, regular length, and one that's down to mid-thigh (I wore them while pregnant!).
