Wôuld this look shit if you weren't a toned size 6?

[Geordieminx]

Love this top was thinking with black skinnies, fab shoes and clutch...maybe red?

Would I need to wear more than a bra underneath? It's for a night out in town if that makes any difference, just wondering if it would look shite on anyone not skinny and toned? Am 29 and a 14 12.

[MrsCampbellBlack]

I like it.

I'd wear a black cami/vest top thing underneath but if I was your age and had a nice flat tummy - well I used to wear similar with just a bra.

[purplepidjin]

I'm 29, and a 14 12 too, and would probably not buy it because i don't like it wear something like that with a vest top underneath. But then, I'm a 5'4" size 14 12 so more on the chubby side. If you're a 5'7" 12 then you'll have a completely different body shape to me!

There could be interesting possibilities matching the vest top to the handbag, however?

[Geordieminx]

Thought maybe instead of a vest some sort of bustier/ shape wear?

[MissBeehiving]

I like it too. I'd wear a vest/cami underneath, although I wore similar with a bra back in the day.

[thenightsky]

If you don't have enormous norks that need substantial bra, then yes, just a skimpy bra would be fine.

[bibbitybobbitybloodyaxe]

Why on earth would you [as in a person, not you you] wear that if you had any doubts about it? Yes, it would obviously look shite with a less than flawless bod underneath it. If you had to wear a vest or cami, then get something else altogether.

[MrsCampbellBlack]

I've got a similar long sleeve white lace top from reiss that I wear in the day with white vest top underneath - looks nice.

And yes black structured body underneath would look good too.

[AwomancalledHorse]

What bibbity said, if I were going to wear it with another item I'd wear it underneath a corset.
I like everything about it but the cut of the sleeves!

[MrsCampbellBlack]

Just thinking more and I've got a black lace dress from whistles and its got a built-in slip/lining which is strapless and looks lovely. So how about a strapless body underneath?

[thenightsky]

I suspect I'd have to wear it with a duffel coat over the top to be fair.

[MadameCastafiore]

Vile.

[noddyholder]

I think it only would look good worn as the model A cami would defeat the object and make it very ordinary. Its lovely though if you have eh bod!

[Geordieminx]

That's kinda what I thought Noddy. If I wore a vest underneath then it would just become an ordinary top. Bra only underneath risks exposing roll of tum when I sit down which is no a good look.

Back to the drawing board

[noddyholder]

the bod not eh????

[TheQueenOfDeDead]

I like it - would look crap on me though.

Not only do you have to have a very toned stomach but you need to have a long body also IYKWIM - at 5' 3" and 8 months after having DC4 there is no way I could pull that off.

A cami would totally defeat the object and leave you in danger of looking like it was something your granny had picked up in debenhams circa 2003 rather than something a bit "now".

this one would be nice with skinnies and heals provided you don't have huge norks.

[TheBrideofFrankenstein]

It's not going to look good with just the bra underneath unless you've got a flat stomach, no bra bulge at all and definitely no inkling of a spare tyre/mummy tummy.

That's not me being bitchy as I would be the first to admit I would not look good in it due to the above factors. If you wear a cami underneath i think you'd lose a lot of the appeal which is the lace detailing.

[Geordieminx]

No I don't think you are being bitchy! Tbh it's what I feared, just needed it confirmed

I like the red one but was after something a bit more special IYKWIM?

Back to the drawing board

[MrsCampbellBlack]

Similar styled on nap with black clingy vest underneath which is how I would wear it and doesn't look too debenhams

Have you looked in reiss and whistles for tops - both have some lovely stuff at the moment

[MrsCampbellBlack]

reiss option and you could definitely just wear bra with this one as the lace is thicker.

[monkeysmama]

Good suggestions from MrsCB. I wear mine with a tight camisole underneath and it actually makes the lace stand out more. M&S had some lovely strapless style vest tops in the other day.
