purplep - Will you let us know what the rosette cardi is like when it arrives (in the continued absence of reviews!!) Thank you!

Serndipity- sure- I am hoping it will be tomorrow.

I have ordered the grey and the aqua and propose to keep one. I have ordered a 10, though tend to buy 8s in T shirt tops, so the 10 is a gamble. I have the cropped cash cardi in 10s and they are small fitting- so not sure about this Rosette one. I like my tops to "fit", as I am small , but not so tight they look too small, IYSWIM.

I realsied some years back that I had spent a lot of my life wearing clothes too big- and sizing down to an 8 made a big difference to how things looked ( top half- bottom is a 10 going on 12 at the moment!).

Purplep Yes, I am a 10 in bottom half but going on 12 too at the moment. Its actually a comfort now to just buy the size 12s and know they'll fit comfortably and not have to be worrying about putting on a couple of pounds which would render the size 10 too small. Like I said on another thread I suppose the older I get the more comfortable I feel in my own skin, and dont get too hung up about label size! Agree also about wearing tops that fit properly, and which for me can be either 8s or 10s. I am a classic cone shape apparently according to Gok!!Wink

*Serendipity" What's a cone shape then- is it like a triangle- small top and big bottom?
I don't know my shape - it all depends!

I could be a neat hourglass, or a rectangle, or an apple, if I don't lose 4-5lbs!

I am 32C up top and hips 35 inches. My waist should be around 26-27 inches and is now over 29 and I feel fat....

I am NOT going to get into a 12 so must shift the flab.

Serendipity according to Gok, I am a racy ruler- sorry for the off topic.

Purplep A cone is apparently broad shoulders, small boobs and waist, and then your shape comes in, so I suppose like an inverted triangle! Think Cameron Diaz!! Wink Loving the "racy ruler", sounds very intriguing indeed!
