Can anyone find me a nice top to wear to a party please?

I am a (rather podgy and large norked) size 14 on top and 16 on bottom. It's a party at a home so I was thinking dark jeans with a nice top and jewellery maybe to dress it up.

I am usually a t-shirt and non-jewellery wearer and so look very dull :(

Please help!

Mint Velvet has some lovely tops, very flattering fit too.

I like this one.

Thanks Sugarplum. I like it (on the size 10 model), but may need to track down a branch and try it on. I usually shop in Matalan and Sainsbury's Blush. Ideally I will get something I can dress up or wear for a night out in the pub instead of my normal t-shirt!

Would this look totally awful?

Honestly, their tops are very flattering. I'm a size 14 and have a double layer from last season and it hides my wobbly tummy beautifully. Phase eight do flattering tops too (not loved on this board but I find the cuts nice).

I've got this floaty top from River Island and it looks lovely with a chunky necklace and shrug jacket over, with dark jeans.
split cape back vest
Bargain too :-)

I really like that navy one, Mocker. Bet it would look gorgeous.

love the navy top from mint velvet too

Mocker · 27/02/2015 23:37

Great, thanks all!

Do Mint Velvet ever have sales or do I just need to bite the bullet?

I think I want that navy one. Good find Mocker!

If you'd prefer something cheaper, Oasis often have a couple of nice tops which you can dress up or down (if you don't mind synthetics).
