Morning fashionistas, I have long had a rather smart sweater dress languishing in my wardrobe. Lovely design, but the problem is that it has 3/4 sleeves and for some reason I do not like bare arms in winter. Plus a boat shaped neck so in this cold weather I could do with a under garment that would sit well with it. I have searched high and low for a cream roll neck with long sleeves but to no avail.
If the fashionable gransnetters have any ideas on this I would be delighted to hear them. smile

Try menswear for a longer version of the same basic foundation warm garment.

I have just fished the Damart catalogue out of the bin for this info. Long sleeved turtle neck, but no cream It comes in several colours including pale beige.
Good luck with your search.

I've got two or three polo necks with long sleeves. The cotton one is from Cotton Traders and two polyester ones are from Tesco. They are thin enough to go under tunic dresses.
Have you tried looking for base layers in the sports shops.

I'd also recommend uniqlo. They are thin enough to wear under anything but are great at keeping you warm

Try House of Bruar cotton polo necks (£19.99) and they really keep their shape. Not sure if they have cream but have a look online.
