It's ok.

Bit high necked for me.

Nice colour.

What is the occasion?

applecrumbleandcream · 08/06/2011 22:03

Looks very crumpled on the picture, not really keen on it sorry.

HollyBollyBooBoo · 08/06/2011 22:12

Gorgeous! Absolutely love it, would look lovely with dark jeans. Now I want it!

chocolateteabag · 08/06/2011 22:14

Yes if you have small boobs but not if you are bigger than a c cup.
It's the gathers up to the neck - will look good if you have good shoulders/small boobs/long neck but will make big ones look bigger.

I'd wear it with long navy crepey trousers (except I wouldn't as I am a 32G and it would look crap on me)

FrancesFarmer · 08/06/2011 22:14

It' a pity it's so crumpled because otherwise, it's v. pretty.

I have the patterned version and love it wear it to work or with jeans. Is fab.

I love it. Nice to see a top that doesn't have tits flopping out of it.

applecrumbleandcream · 08/06/2011 22:17

Yes I prefer the floral version, that is really pretty and looks much nicer imo.

FrancesFarmer · 08/06/2011 22:18

Wow, that one looks great, Whoneedssleep.

Perhaps the first blouse looks as good but is let down by poor photography.

Ooh! Bought this in cream last year, didn't know they'd made new colours. I love it, it feels great on and I like the high neck. N

Sariska · 08/06/2011 22:19

Well I have it so I like it.

Colour is gorgeous, high neck works on me (tall, long neck, not particularly well-endowed in the chest department), fabric doesn't look crumpled in RL. And it's versatile: so far I've worn it under a suit for work and with wide leg indigo flared jeans.

Now, do you like it, OP?

Hassled · 08/06/2011 22:21

I like it - and I don't understand why I like it, because in theory the whole high-neck flower thing should be hideous. But it's not hideous at all - and the colour is lovely. Prefer the fuschia to the floral version.

frillyflower · 08/06/2011 22:42

I really like it. I love the colour and it's very versatile I think.

I thought I would wear it with a black pencil skirt and black kitten heels.

Only thing is that as sleeves bit is sheer your bra straps sow. Does that matter?

OP posts:
frillyflower · 08/06/2011 22:42

Or 'bra straps show' even!

OP posts:
FrancesFarmer · 08/06/2011 22:46

Does that matter? Yes, they absolutely must not show!

frillyflower · 08/06/2011 22:47

Then I must wear without bra!

OP posts:
partyhats · 08/06/2011 23:18

I like it. I think you have to be a certain shape to carry it off though i.e long neck, slim with good shoulders (not slopey like mine, I've always wanted a shoulder transplant if there was such a thing)

5DollarShake · 09/06/2011 02:27

Ooh it's gorgeous - love the colour in the OP.

whoneedssleepanyway · 09/06/2011 09:45

or wear strapless bra or one with nude coloured strap...

bigbadbarry · 09/06/2011 12:36

With my cream one I can get away with a nude bra underneath - the shouldery bit are sheer but not that sheer, so it is ok.

madammecholet · 09/06/2011 16:15

My mum has that in black and also in grey, really suits her. Too fussy for me tho...

ohnelly · 09/06/2011 21:00

Love it

MrsCampbellBlack · 09/06/2011 21:05

I think its lovely and am not generally a fan of phase 8. I'd wear it with white skinnies.
