Actually some H&M basics stuff is really excellent quality. But ethically made - yes that's a good point. I do struggle with that .

Well. Nothing would do but I had to call into H&M at lunchtime. I really don't need another stripe. Tried on this jumpsuit, as you do while looking for a stripe, quite nice.

And then I made my way to the checkout, stripey top in my grubby hands. It is a great weight, and I thought I might wear over a shirt in l'hiver. I only bought because it will be so phenomenally, incredibly useful for le winter. Blush

As the owner of a mere 2 stripey tops, this had to be bought. I'm a 10 and bought small. Can I be Donatello? HHHIIIIYYYAAAAAAAA!

No room for ethics on the world domination plan.

I'm afraid I weakened this morning too and bought the black striped one. I'm a 14 and dithered in the changing room with the M and L. Finally went for the L for its extra bum coverage. I wish they would do a red/cream version. It feels like great quality.

Lulabellarama · 11/09/2015 16:20

Yeah, bought it too

Ha ha, I was thinking of a lovely deep red and a definite cream. Seems like a very obvious choice to me but apparently not manufacturers.

ClaudiaNaughton · 11/09/2015 17:05

I bought both yesterday then flipped over to Boden and bought another pair. 20% off, free delivery and returns. Most long lengths have gone though.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 11/09/2015 17:07

I only have 3 striped tops - but I do like a black background and white stripe.

Well, it was a massive fail for me Sad

If you are tall and skinny with no boobs don't bother. It just looked like a shapeless sack on me, was too short and the sleeves were only just long enough - no doubt the sleeve length will shrink after the first wash. The neckline was too big as well.

Floisme · 11/09/2015 17:16

Ah sorry Remus. I always picture you in stripes for some reason!

GoofyIsACow · 11/09/2015 17:29

I was expecting mine to be delivered today, got my dispatch email yesterday morning, sadly, twas not to be...

WicksEnd reporting for duty sah!

At the ripe old age of 44, I have bought my first stripey top. I agree it's lovely quality for a cheapy! It dances in front of my eyes though Sad I am hoping that once it's on that the stripes will stop moving.

I bought the black & white one, the navy and red was jigging about far too much.

Is it just me?

BrendaandEddie · 11/09/2015 19:04

i didnt even contemplate the red one

WELL DONE!

Floisme · 11/09/2015 19:08

BrendaandEddie · 11/09/2015 19:09

How long is it? I'm 5ft 10 and huge norks
Is their online shopping still shite?

BrendaandEddie · 11/09/2015 22:18

i think tis got better

OP posts:
Bunbaker · 11/09/2015 22:19

It isn't very long at all. I am 5'7" with small boobs and it reached to my hip bones.

I think the style will suit the more busty woman. It just looked like a shapeless sack on my skinny frame.

It's a shame because it was much better quality than most tops you see these days.

goodasitgets · 11/09/2015 22:24

Ah. That's me out then, it'll be a crop top Grin

LittleG69 · 11/09/2015 23:00

Bought the red and navy one this afternoon. Feels great quality for the money and nice and warm for autumn
