It's a little beyond my usual budget but I need something to wear over jeans for a night out.

I've ordered it already but now I am thinking I will have bra issues with it.

I think it's really nice. As long as your bra is black I don't see an issue

ElizabethBathory · 22/01/2014 15:27

I like it! If you wear a black bra with a gore that doesn't come up too high it should be fine.

Chewbecca · 22/01/2014 15:29

Very nice.

I'm pleased with all my Mint Velvet purchases.

HyvaPaiva · 22/01/2014 15:31

It's lovely.

whereisshe · 22/01/2014 15:37

I like it but it will only work for certain body shapes. I'm pear shaped for example and it would just make me look huge. I can see it working on an apple shape, but not on hourglass...

Bra-wise I can see the challenge. It wouldn't work with any of my bras but trial and error I suppose - if you have one that's narrow and plain in the middle it wouldn't be so noticeable.

Meh is what I think of it but its totally not my style.

Dumpylump · 22/01/2014 15:40

Ooh, that's nice! So nice I might order it for myself. I've never had anything from Mint Velvet before, although I've seen plenty of links to stuff on here - what's the sizing like?

IsItSummerYet · 22/01/2014 15:41

Really lovely. I think the v panel adds a bit of interest.

Chewbecca · 22/01/2014 15:48

I wear my regular size in MV clothes, they're definitely not on the skimpy side, tend to be quite forgiving.
I am an apple so maybe MV caters well for them & that's why I like it/the range?

purpleminion · 22/01/2014 15:48

Phew! Glad to see mostly positives. It's always risky to ask for opinions when you've already bought something.

I am apple shaped whereis so hopefully it will be flattering.

I need something that works with jeans for night at the local pub. I usually end up overdressed and feeling uncomfortable so I think this looks simple but dressy iyswim.

Its lovely. I think it fits the bill for where to want to wear it.

FuckingWankwings · 22/01/2014 16:08

You need a nude-coloured bra, not black. It won't show. Or a nude camisole/vest underneath.

HesterShaw · 22/01/2014 16:14

It's absolutely lovely. I love the shape - it's very forgiving for lots of body shapes.

Orlea · 22/01/2014 16:19

Really nice. There's quite a lot of deep plunge bras out there that might not show under the V if you're bothered, otherwise I'd just wear a normal black one.

Dumpylump · 22/01/2014 21:33

I'm an apple too, am ordering it now!

purpleminion · 22/01/2014 21:54

My apologies to your bank balance dumpy. I hope it is as nice in real life as it looks online. I can't wait til mine arrives.

Very nice! Also like the nude shade. May order it myself!

Dumpylump · 22/01/2014 22:03

It's fine, the jeans I wanted to order from Top Shop were out of stock, so I've saved money there.....weird shopaholic style logic there Grin
I hope it's as nice in real life!

Jakadaal · 22/01/2014 22:15

I need to add that to my shopping list! It's lovely

purpleminion · 24/01/2014 13:13

The top arrived. It's great. Perfect with jeans, very flattering.

HelloBoys · 24/01/2014 17:15

nice but I'm an hourglass too

Pollywallywinkles · 24/01/2014 17:18

Pleased you are pleased with it.

Financeprincess · 24/01/2014 17:46

Shame it's made of 100% viscose!

Plateofcrumbs · 24/01/2014 18:21

Lovely! A bit sexy but in an understated classy way. I'd probably go nude cami as well underneath. Black bra, if it showed through in an obvious way would still work if you wanted to be more va-va-voom!

Dumpylump · 24/01/2014 22:35

Mine arrived today too! Am very pleased with it Smile
