help, indecision - what do you think of this top?

[polyhymnia]

Have ordered this:

www.annascholz.com/new-arrivals/rose-jersey-diamond-top-1.html?utm_source=newsletter_20111005&utm_campaign=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=content_image-crm-blk-rose-top

I'm a tall hourglass Size 22. Though I'm prepared to spend on things that really flatter me and are stylish and I don't go for the cheaper 'plus-size' brands, I usually don't like Anna Scholz stuff enough to reconcile myself to the £££ prices. In this case, thought it might have potential, with black skinnies.

Now it's arrived, its fit and length are good but I'm not sure. Not even sure whether fact it's a sort of devoré material is a plus or not. Probably should send it back if I don't love it - but does anyone out there think it looks good - or otherwise???

[polyhymnia]

PS It's actually longer on me than on the model, which is a plus. Also think it goes better with black skinnies than the blue shown.

[NewChoos]

I'm not keen on the print - sorry!

[polyhymnia]

No, that's fine. Not sure I am!

[FetchezLaVache]

I think if you don't love it, you should send it back. FWIW I think it's a really pretty top, but not really 129 quids' worth, esp as it's largely polyester!

it'ok ...bit £££ for what it is

and it's the only thing on the entire anna sholtz site that is okish

at prices like that she should hire a model who can pose

[CoffeeIsMyFriend]

no, I dont like it. Not for that money. There are much nicer things on the market. Is this for casual wear or work or going out?

[polyhymnia]

Actually, I do already have the jersey one that Newchoos linked to. Because I actually like that - unlike other Anna Scholz stuff - I was tempted to try this latest one. But the fabric isn't the same. Really want something versatile - for going out and more casual. Not work.

[polyhymnia]

PS Agree about the model.

[CoffeeIsMyFriend]

have you tried Jaeger or Planet. They do nice tops, but you have to try them on, I have a couple of nice tops to wear with jeans from there.

Or in TK Maxx they have a decent selection of bigger sizes with some nice bits.

[polyhymnia]

Not a fan of Planet and don't have a good T K Maxx nearby but do like Jaeger a lot.

[polyhymnia]

Actually just looked at Planet and some are nice but think they tend to be too short for me.
