I find myself sticking to dresses a lot of the time because I find them more flattering, but I would really like to add some decent tops to my wardrobe to wear with skirts/jeans/trousers.
I am 5"4, a fairly curvy size 10 with reasonably (but not disproportionately) big boobs. Fairly small waist but wobbly/untoned midriff.
I find that tops are always either very clingy (thus emphasising my less than perfect stomach). OR they skim over my bust and hang outwards, like a tent, which makes me look about 6 months pregnant from sideways on.
I just want a happy medium! Something with structure that does justice to my (hourglass-ish) figure. Especially as I am starting work soon and desperately looking for some nice smart-casual clothes.
I'm going a bit mad browsing online, partly because every picture has the model wearing tops in that irritating half-tucked in way that looks (to me) ridiculous, and you can't see how it hangs properly.
And also because I keep spotting tops which look alright at first glance, and then you realise they have a bloody elasticated hem which I'm sure suits nobody.
