I know this is probably a long shot, but I thought if anyone could help me it would be the style girls...

I'm after isabella oliver halter top in crimison red in a size 10 or 12. They only have it in a 14 on the website, and pink on ebay was wondering if anyone on here had one that I could buy/borrow/steal...

Or... if anyone could tell me what the isabella sizes are like?

I'm normally a 12, but am only 5 foot.. so tops like this, or anything with straps usually end up falling off as the distance between my shoulders and boobs is short too..

Many Thanks

Many thanks

Sorry, I don't have the top but for info, I'm 5'11" with a reasonable gap between shoulders and lady bumps and find IO's stuff fits me pretty well so I'd advise steering clear of the size 14, I'm afraid

Am starting to get desperate.. thinking of ordering it anyways... as its reduced, and hope that either it will fit or I can adjust it a bit so that it will be ok...

thanks for replying though!!

Sorry don't have the top but I would also say tops are a good fit (if anything on the generous size) so would avoid the 14.

Have you tried calling them as they seem to have the same items year in year out (most styles the same as when I was last pregnant 3 years ago)

It could be that they will re- stock for the new season fairly soon and so the top will be back in your size. I normally find them really helpful when I call.

I'm 5ft 3 and find I'm too short for their stuff. Bought trousers during my 1st pregnancy which were way too long and fell down (I was size 10 so bought their size 10 too). Then next pregnancy tried a wrap dress which again was just way too big all round, it swamped me and looked awful. I have concluded that they must be designed for taller people than me which is very annoying as I can do nothing about my height!!
