Ah I see. Though if you're really ample of bosom, can I advise against a black roll neck? Won't be flattering.

V-necks much more flattering to the larger of nork - with high necks of any sort you can just end up with a huge expanse of covered up chest/nork/neck, making it all look larger than it is. V-neck will break it up a bit, and make things look smaller. On the other hand, you can just say sod it - I need the warmth and keep on with the roll necks. It's not all about how you look, necessarily.

if i wear a v neck i run the risk of nork escapage and cleavage on show which is not the look i am after !! i shall persist with my roll neck and look like chesty morgan!

I know what you mean - but it doesn't have to be a deep v neck. Or if it is, you can wear a camisole underneath. The shape still works.

Excellent!

I was going to order it a couple of weeks ago but they were sold out. I ended up getting the primark one though which is great.

As for bags, what sort of bag do you want?
Over the shoulder, messenger style, big, small, colour?

Lulu - any luck with boots?

I was shopping today. Some nice brown boots in Topshop here

They're not wedge, but heels weren't too intimidating!

lulu what sixze do you need? Have you looked at H&M?
Also would look at M&S and Accessorize for bags.
Have to agree with JackieNo about roll neck tops, only for B cups and under IMHO!!
