The top that rides up over the stomach

Short answer: A top rides up when it is too short, or when the fabric is too tight over the hips. The length is the measurement most people overlook when choosing a size.

Length rather than width

A size up gives mostly width and only a little length. Measure the body length instead. See the measuring guide.

Tight over the hips

If the fabric is tight at the bottom, the top is pushed upwards every time you move.

The material

A fabric with drape hangs downwards instead of rolling up. See bamboo t-shirt for women.

The body as a solution

A body cannot ride up because it is closed at the crotch. See bamboo bodystocking.

Longer models

Some models are cut with extra length. See long sleeved bamboo t-shirt for women.

After washing

If the top has shrunk in length, it has probably been tumble dried. See the washing guide.
