Round Neck Mesh Relaxed T-shirt

I found the sizing and fit of these gym tops very unusual. I already own four older gym tops in a size 16. They are a different design, but they fit well and are long enough to cover the tummy, which many older women prefer. I first ordered the new top in a size 16, but it was far too big. I then ordered a size 14, which was also much too large. I went into the store and tried on a size 12. Although it fitted reasonably well through the body, it was still too loose under the arms and caught when I moved my arms up and down, making it unsuitable for exercising. I also looked at the other gym tops available in the store, but many of them were too short. Older women often want a little more length to cover the tummy, and I could not find anything suitable in Marks & Spencer’s current range. I am fairly slim through the back and waist but have a large bust, so I appreciate that finding the right fit can be difficult. However, the sizing and cut of these tops seemed particularly strange. I have returned them all.

A very lightweight and comfortable top with mesh fabric. However it is not a technical fabric, so the manmade qualities do not make it excellent for sports on a warm day.
