Here's a great top for women whose bigger boobs make their top half look either obscene or bulbous

Usually tops either show too much cleavage to look professional, or make me look like a bloody football, but this one is so flattering. It kind of nips in under the boobs then flares out to give a real curve. Going to wear it for work tomorrow. Just thought I'd share!

That top wouldn't work for me at all. I'm a 34j and the quite high neck and one colour would make me look like a boulder. And the peplum makes my hour glass figure just look like a huge bum.
The first link you gave worked for me though! :)

Remus cowl necks are my current favourite as well. They are the best to streamline humongous boobs. I have this one from Phase Eight, does a brilliant job of making me look feminine, instead of having two potato sacks down my front...

SSS, no link?

Cowl necks are fab for those with big uns.

ANy links to cowl necks that aren't a bit jane mcdonald

MaureenShit · 06/01/2013 14:19

cowl necks make me look HUGE unless very very fitted

noddyholder · 06/01/2013 14:41

me too i have one white gap one about 100 yrs old that is small and fitted and is lovely but all others look mumsy and sort of frou frou on me.

Charliefox · 06/01/2013 14:42

This isn't Jane McDonald is it?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 06/01/2013 14:48

Love that jumper, Charlie. A lower cowl works better on me.

I live in these. I have 3 identical ones

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 06/01/2013 14:49

Who is Jane McDonald?

noddyholder · 06/01/2013 14:51

Those simone tops look nice

steben · 06/01/2013 17:28

Am pondering the Simone tops - Remus do they come up short? Have had that problem with Hobbs tops before Hmm

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 06/01/2013 17:30

They are longer than the average Hobbs one. I've got two in medium, which are perhaps just below belly button length and one in large for wearing with skinny jeans, which is longer.

spudmurphy · 06/01/2013 17:34

Love the top... Shame about the half sleeves. Would buy otherwise. It's winter in the northern hemisphere fgs - but clothing designers must all live in sunny climates.

MaureenShit · 06/01/2013 17:35

i like the simone top

how is it for a 12 of body 14 of tit

MaureenShit · 06/01/2013 17:36

noddyholder · 06/01/2013 17:42

My new years res was no more stripes and I wore one on the 2nd Grin

steben · 06/01/2013 17:51

Ordered the pink one so will give it a go Grin

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 06/01/2013 18:21

Am also a 12 of body and 14 of tit. The medium works better with pencil skirts/tucking in and the large (which is too big for me really) is better with jeans.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 06/01/2013 18:22

I sorted out my wardrobe today and realised that I have FIVE black and white striped tops. And not one of them is perfect.

noddyholder · 06/01/2013 18:35

I ordered new one from mango but will have to chuck out at least 2

SilentSplendidSun · 06/01/2013 20:57

Try this one. Lovely print, longish and very flattering.

Maureen there are some nice stripey tops on there as well.

Charlie sorry cant link to the one I was talking about as I bought it ladt year...but have a look around Phase Eight. They have a thing for cowl necks.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 06/01/2013 21:03

I like the shape of that a lot. I find the quality of Phase Eight stuff quite poor for the price though.

PacificDogwood · 06/01/2013 21:08

100% polyester makes it a nono for me Sad
