Have noticed that they have come back in but just wondering do they suit curvy women??

I'm a size 16, 5"10, hour glass figure, has anyone with a similar figure tried this style as I cant find one in real life so need to order online. Also would like to wear with skinny jeans and heels or are these sort of tops only to be worn with skirts?????

Thinking something like this one..

I think they are not flattering to anyone tbh.

Can't see that being flattering. Not even to the model in the picture.

If you were incredibly skinny and had no hips then it might make you look like you had hips I guess.

If you have a very small waist it might also be ok.

Personally, I'll be avoiding.

Yes i see what you mean not very flattering to the model and she is skinny, just wondered if it might sort of skim over my hips and bum, but maybe not.

They are designed to create hips - so if you are curvy they are a big no no. Go for empire lies in dresses or tops that blouson over your skinnies

lines - not lies Blush

I love peplums on dresses but don't think that they work as well on tops.

Has anyone got any links for a nice top to wear with my skinnies for a night out with friends, want to look young but stylish.

You need to try one. I have massive hips and still find them flattering once I wear a not-too-tapered pencil skirt and heels with them.
