Ok looks kinda average workwear. However avoid the advise to size down and it looks great with a pleather skinny.

Brilliant draping is very flattering over the waist.the v gives a hint of cleavage in a nice way and its long enough.

And it's cheap.

Thanks for this thread - I just bought it and it looks great. I wouldn't have even tried it if you hadn't posted but I love it! Flowers

If you have tiny boobs, does it work? Or emphasise the lack of curves?

It's lovely - I have the long sleeved version in the grey marl. I'm a size 12 but I bought the size 8. It comes up very large - and I am a slim 34DD.

I managed to get there- and they had put them away!!! Luckily, lovely lady went to look but they only had an 8 and a 12. The 12 was v oversized (which I usually love) and almost indecent. And really big on armpits. 8 fitted nicely but not sexy drapey round the boobs. Was def workwear.
Have ordered the 10. I might get there eventually.
(Also tried on their leather look leggings which were surprisingly ok for side zips. 12 fitted well but baggy round the crotch. WTAF is that all about!!!)

Even the 8 was drapey on me - it didn't look tight like the model in the photo I linked to.

BrendaandEddie · 11/11/2015 17:42

not the new look ones?

So I'm usually a 14 in Next and am 36E with post cs belly two years on... Would you go for the 14 in the top or size up/down?

OnlyHereForTheCamping · 12/11/2015 12:52

I have new look bronze coated leggings from a few years ago. I am nearly thin enough to wear them again. Is bronze still permitted? Or will I look like cilla (rip)?

captainflash · 12/11/2015 17:39

My top won't arrive in store until tomorrow (so much for your next day promises Next- I ordered it Tuesday) but I did finish early today so have had a marathon trying on session for leather look trousers today.
Brenda- couldn't find any of the New Look ones in the size I needed. They are indeed gold dust but the 12 would def be too small.
I've had endless trouble with them being a bit baggy round the crotch. I have silly skinny twig legs but a bit of a tummy. So it has been a hard fought battle.
Eventually, many years later, I have purchased some legging-type in H&M that are leathery front and then plain fabric at the back. Not perfect but fitted the best and were only £14. Least if I go off them it wasn't too bad.
Hats off to Queen Brenda for organising all our Christmas outfits!
