I have actually got something nice from Next. It's been a long time...

It's the stripe slub sweater. I have bought the red and ivory ones. It's a very light knit but is so flattering I'm in shock. A much better fit than anything from BOden.......very French. Also bought their White plimsolls and they are so comfortable for a change. What is going on?

I've bought a few of their tie front t shirts this year having struggled to find things I like for a while now (other than their running gear). Good value and good quality and nice colours too.

Ooooh what are their tie front t-shirts like? Any puffiness across the tummy or flattering? I gave the bubble hem t shirt in purple a whirl but sized down and it's actually extremely flattering. Looks good with my White linen skirt. I haven't got on with Next clothes for an age but this is encouraging.....

OMG why do I have to keep coming onto Mumsnet on my day off when I should be cleaning. I've just had to buy both of these now.

Very flattering. They aren't too "boxy" and come in at the waist so highlight your waist. I'm only 5'2" and they aren't too long either.

Ooh I was v tempted by the red one when I saw it online. How do they wash?

I also have the purple bubble hem tshirt and agree, it's very flattering! Makes your boobies look good without showing too much off, and not clingy around the tum at all :)

Nipped in to Next during my lunch break and got a lovely shirt for DS - white with a faint blue anchor print all over it. Very Boden but cheaper!

I've just been really naughty and ordered the bubble hem top in white as well, plus a pair of high waisted jeans fell into my basket Blush
