Breton style tops?

I'm trying to streamline my wardrobe a bit now I no longer need bfing clothes. I'm an apple with big boobs and good legs but too much stuff that no longer suits me or my lifestyle.

I have 3 pairs of skinnies (grey, dk green and blue denim) 1 blue denim mini, 1 pair khaki shorts, 2 pairs leggings (navy and black) and am happy that along with several knee length dresses (boden and white stuff) that's enough for the bottom half.

I am struggling with the top half though, I am a 12 so I don't mind body skimming styles but I don't want anything too clinging or short in the body. I am considering just buying a few 3 quarter arm bretons (not sure where from) and some primark vests and hoping that will pretty much cover all occasions. I wear a uniform for work so no worries there I just need stuff which is suitable for being with the kids, going out for lunch with friends and the occasional night out with DH.

So, what do you think of my plan and where should I look for the tops? Smile

I have just bought 2 Jack Wills Breton tops. Well made, good quality material and comfy to wear. Can be dressed up or down.

The company Seasalt has some good breton-type tops.

I may be wrong, but I thought for big boobs, you need v-shaped tops, rather then Breton tops - if you've got'em, then flaunt them.

yes, you're right ref the lower neckline for us ladies blessed with boobs but I don't like showing a lot of cleavage so I was thinking a boat neck or scoop style

I am a 34F, the Breton with the wide navy area at the top looks great.
I ordered Seasalt first, but sent them back as the material was too "thin".

I like the Boden Bretons Blush but I am small of boobage.
