Is this top 'mumsy'?

[spookyskeleton]

I am going out for a meal with friends next week and am planning on wearing this top in teal with a pair of black jeggings and leopard-print court shoes.

Does the top look mumsy? I am a tall size 16 and need baggy tops like this to hide my muffin top

I would prefer to have my arms covered but would not mind if they weren't if the top looked nice

I have quite nice boobs aswell so would be quite happy if it was low-cut

lace?

Phase Eight do jersey tops with a drape effect. Have a look on their website, they have good sales.

This is lovely irl and a bargain for silk I nearly bought it today but it was too long at the back for me. Colour is lovely.

What about this?

the back bit IS odd

I think the batwing sleeves make larger people look larger because they make the waist and hips and shoulders look all the same width.

Something more fitted, longer and with maybe a ruched midriff to hide your tummy might be better,

I like the shape of the top you chose OP but not the heart. Don't like the shirt. I'm hopeless at links but am probably not a dissimilar shape and size to you you. I find the White Stuff quite good and paradoxically have some bits from Per Una that are remarkably well designed to hide the tum and muffin although are much derided on here.

That link is the original top you posted Spooky.

I picked one with long sleeves but have a look through all the tops, there are some pretty ones!

Oops just realised i linked to the original top Try this

Don't know where you're going but for a normal meal out in a restaurant as opposed to a formal 'do' some of these (see through etc )look quite a lot OTT .

I'm a tall 14-16 post pregnancy, I've got this

top in both colours and wear a longline slinky vest underneath to cover tummy/top of hips. Love wearing them with straight cut jeans and heels personally. Sorry can't link properly as phone playing up.

I think this top would look fantastic, especially with the leopard print shoes.

Wips I do like that Little Mistress one may order that one.

Poly it is just a meal out but it is kind of like an informal Christmas party with some friends and we will probably end up in a pub so I would like to look quite dressy.

It's a bit tacky, especially with lack leggings. I would go for a nice dress.

id do a plain black top meself

Sorry if it's a restaurant then a pub still think it would be better to be stylish but not too overstated. Like the black top idea. Or a dress but nothing see through or sparkly or flash.
