And a size 14-16 what tops would you wear on a night out and what have you worn recently?

I'm looking for something with skinny jeans, can't wear anything with a high neck and ideally I would want top of arms covered.

Works do approaching in a trendy city. Enter bar with younger non mum colleagues and I have the fear!

Do you want a long top over bum/thighs? Or can you wear a top to the waist/hips with skinny jeans? [I can't].

Top to the hips I think I can just pull off with support knickers Confused

Slightly shiny wrap top like this one from Bravissimo Pepperberry?

I am fortyish (+++) with big boobs but about size 12, and I tend to wear e.g. a black lacy dress with bright tights and black boots.

That's a nice top but...£39?? 😱

IT looks nice on the model but she's not v busty. I thought the top itself looked a bit frumpy on its own TBH. It's so hard trying to dress big boobs! 😮

What about one of those tops with the shoulders cut out, I think they can look good. Unless you don't like your shoulders of course!

It is hard, it's almost like a toss up between slutty or matronly Shock

I've posted this outfit on here before, I really like it. I just think it looks dressy but not overly if you see what I mean.

Oh it Oasis by the way.

Pepperberry is pricey but if you are a big boobed girl you are better off in something that fits, and you'll wear for ages.
They also come up on Ebay reasonably often.

I have to say I haven't found pepperberry quality to be the best

I think the pepperberry top looks like Day wear, not evening wear.
