suitable for autumn and very flattering then this is your baby.

It DOES look like that on!

I actually quite like that, didn't think I'd like anything from M&S. What size are you though?

14-16. I actually bought a size 12 because M+S tend to come up big on me. I actually fel about 2 stones lighter (which is what I need to lose before I am a size 12).

Well, I liek the way it looks obviously. It flatters the waist - amazingly, and makes my breasts look in proprtion and lice, istead of like to breastfeeding exorcets.

It is a bit of a 1950s 'I'm a modelle' pose, isn't it?

I find the big sleeves are the reaosns these srts of tops flatter, they make your stomach and waist look smaller in comparison. I have a few bat wing tops

Could be. I'm certainly glad to disguise my sausages!

I was just looking at this top yesterday! I quite liked it, think I might get one. Do you think it would be flattering for a size 18?

If I'm a 12-14 do you think I should order a 10 then? I really like the look of this, and like the price even more

Do you have any flab in the stomach area at all? Can't imagine it flattering anything but a completely concave flat stomach tbh.
If I wasn't a porker, I'd have this

It's lovely. I've picked it up in store twice and put it down again as I have so many black and grey tops. Now I WANT it and I bet you lot will all go and buy it so I can't get one!

Turquoise - Yes I have post c-section / massive pregnancy tummy style tummy.

Sycamore - yes I'd go for 10.

cod - you will look like Black Beauty in your black keks and shoe boots. (I think shoe boots make feet look like pony feet). I'm wearing black trews and boots too!
