NomDePlume · 10/03/2006 13:43

Short (supposedly 'standard') length tops really do my head in.

Flossam · 10/03/2006 13:43

I'd rather have my muffin covered up with one of these than out flashing for all to see with the short tops and hippy jeans... Grin

Flossam · 10/03/2006 13:50

that one is quite nice cod! makes a change from stripes! Grin

i like them , good combination of reasonable length and elbow length sleeves, and I like stripes. Hide two body parts best kept hidden.I havent got one yet though. A lot of them are made of very thin/see through material.

So has anyone found one that is stripey, has elbow length sleeves, is long, and is reasonably thick material?
Anniemac bad luck about the Primark one. I'm afraid I have been looking at the 'economical' ones too, but fear that I will have to spend more to get one that doesnt cling.

cod · 11/03/2006 16:44

Mosschops30 · 11/03/2006 16:45

FrannyandZooey · 11/03/2006 16:48

I don't like the stripes but I love this shape, the gathered bit a lot of them have at the bottom is very flattering IMO. New Look have some nice ones.
