Yes, i can never find clothers to cover me all up from the sun, grrr

I've got bought loads of long sleeved t-shirts in various colours from Primark and few long sleeved blouses that come up to the neck from BHS. I've been on a quest the last few years looking for suitable clothing since the doctor told me i must wear clothing thats uv protected. Some hopes..... I have only found a couple of items of clothing thats uv protected. I will try M&S though.

Rohan have some uv shirts, skirts and trousers, not cheap. TKmaxx also sometimes get some in

I've found that the UV protected ones are very expensive, however have found some cotton ones at M & S, and Sainsbury's clothing range. I do put cream on before putting them on though as I know the sun penetrates clothing.

The eclipse website has some web addresses for uv protective clothing again m&s next. Depending on the style this season again were sun block underneath if only linen or cotton. Have even made. Couple myself. One Sunsenceability clothing off the eclipse website I bough a sun proof bloero so its almost just a pair of sleeves and back and use that to turn short sleeve outfit into a long sleeve one. Best thing I bought.

H and m have loads of tops like this and they've got a sale on at the moment! Good luck and enjoy your shopping trip! Always makes me feel better lol xxx

\I agree with Melinda, Primark long sleeve t-shirts are excellent. Loads of different colours, not too heavy for summer and they wash and wear brilliantly. Only advice I would give is as with most Primark clothing, buy a size up. I also got some good sunsafe cotton long sleeve tops from ebay, just do a general search and you should find them. Good luck and keep well.

Next do some on a mutilbuy which are long sleeve cotton tees. I agree about theM&S ones and wear their cardigans too which u can button waist up to your neck. I also wear a lot of long sleeve cardigans or jumpers from gap with a vest tip under them, they're really light and i usually get them at the outlet which is loads cheaper.

P.S. am also learning to sew so that I can make my own garments and have exactly what I want because its so hard to find the right things now.

[ellie53]

great to know im not te only one - its so frustratin to keep lookin then tirednes creeps in cant do anymore - another pontless day

[Melinda]

I'm seriously thinking of buying a new sewing machine. I had one years ago, i used to make things for myself and my daughters. Although my hands aren't as flexible as they were.

Gap is v good with thin cottons, button down styles and cardigans. I get them in the sale.
