For a night out and I will be dancing so nothing too hot. The skirt isn't as short on me a I'm only 5'2. I have plain black stroppy sandals to wear but can't find a nice 'going out top? What style would suit? I'm a size 8 so don't want it adding too much 'volume' to me if that makes sense? Would appreciate some suggestions?

I like that black top but not sure if the sleeves would be irritating? I was thinking about a cami/top tucked in, would that look ok? I hate strapless bras though so would have to wear normal bra and may look silly with the straps....

One of these two? It is so much nicer in real life!

You can get lovely racer back bras from Hollister and Victoria's secret which I'm wearing this summer with strappy vests, they look nice and don't make a point of trying to be hidden if you're up for that?

The River Island camis are both lovely, yes! And I agree, I'd pick a nice bra and make it intentional that it's showing Smile

Thanks ladies. A nice bra..... but if it's just straps showing.... how do you find a 'nice' one? Aren't straps just straps?

Because the racer bit shows too.

Like this sort of thing - the racer-back bit is pretty and lacy so it looks nice rather than just like a bra-strap Smile

Ah I see! Not keen on the Victoria secret as wouldn't do me any favours but the hollister one looks like it should give a good shape. So a camisole tucked in... how tight? In like a body or in, then pulled out slightly?

Just thinking.... I have long hair and it will cover up the pretty back of those bras......

I reckon tucked in and pulled slightly out again. With your hair could you wear it over to one side like this?

There's a lot of layers in my hair but it would be curled and I could pin it to one side? I wish I was as beautiful as her!!
