Have ordered this:

I'm a tall hourglass Size 22. Though I'm prepared to spend on things that really flatter me and are stylish and I don't go for the cheaper 'plus-size' brands, I usually don't like Anna Scholz stuff enough to reconcile myself to the £££ prices. In this case, thought it might have potential, with black skinnies.

Now it's arrived, its fit and length are good but I'm not sure. Not even sure whether fact it's a sort of devoré material is a plus or not. Probably should send it back if I don't love it - but does anyone out there think it looks good - or otherwise???

PS It's actually longer on me than on the model, which is a plus. Also think it goes better with black skinnies than the blue shown.

I'm not keen on the print - sorry!

polyhymnia · 06/10/2011 18:09

No, that's fine. Not sure I am!

I think if you don't love it, you should send it back. FWIW I think it's a really pretty top, but not really 129 quids' worth, esp as it's largely polyester!

it'ok ...bit £££ for what it is

and it's the only thing on the entire anna sholtz site that is okish

at prices like that she should hire a model who can pose

no, I dont like it. Not for that money. There are much nicer things on the market. Is this for casual wear or work or going out?

polyhymnia · 06/10/2011 18:54

Actually, I do already have the jersey one that Newchoos linked to. Because I actually like that - unlike other Anna Scholz stuff - I was tempted to try this latest one. But the fabric isn't the same. Really want something versatile - for going out and more casual. Not work.

PS Agree about the model.

have you tried Jaeger or Planet. They do nice tops, but you have to try them on, I have a couple of nice tops to wear with jeans from there.

Or in TK Maxx they have a decent selection of bigger sizes with some nice bits.

polyhymnia · 06/10/2011 20:43

Not a fan of Planet and don't have a good T K Maxx nearby but do like Jaeger a lot.

Actually just looked at Planet and some are nice but think they tend to be too short for me.
