Please recommend a non clingy, pretty top I can wear with jeans and won't look horrid.

I'm a size 14/16. Tall. Has to have sleeves and not cling to a muffin. I literally have nothing.

Sorry when I say sleeves I mean short sleeves. Something summery I can wear with jeans.

Posted too early, I have similar for work, very comfy and not clingy at all.

I bought this top in this pattern and plain black and it's very flattering. It is fitted across the boobs, but floaty over tum and muffin top. I looks lovely on with black skinny jeans.

If you can tolerate boden,
the ravello top is v flattering.

Zahrah5 · 06/05/2017 18:30

Love this one.

Ravello is non-clingy too but it is more dressy.

Does the ravello top male big shoulders and arms look horrible? I always look at it and think that the body part of it is perfect, but those floaty cap sleeves tend to display my fat spammy upper arms and emphasise my broad shoulders. This makes me sad because ravello is recommended by loads of people.

Hairq · 06/05/2017 19:59

MAKE not male

justwait · 06/05/2017 21:12

Don't think the ravello would suit me. I think I'd look like a milkmaid (big boobs). I love that Max. Mara one but spenny. The asos one looks nice of a bit plain.

If you were ok with 3/4 length sleeve I find the joules printed harbour tops pretty and comfy. I'm a short busty size 14 with flabby arms and a squashy belly (thanks to an enormous child and a less neat than it might have been c section) and they are a flattering fit.

justwait · 06/05/2017 22:34

Ooh quite like the joules one!

I've got v broad shoulders, big arms and fairly substantial boobs, but I think the ravello is pretty flattering. The sleeves are just about long enough to not highlight the arms!

Hairq · 07/05/2017 10:46

Thank you strongandlong I may give one a try in that case. Which neckline do you find best?

strongandlong · 07/05/2017 10:56

I prefer the round one. More unusual and it shows collar bones while concealing cleavage, so very flattering. Let me know how you get on!

Bantanddec · 07/05/2017 11:23

Don't get that hideous Boden one, if you've got any tits at all that line will go right across the centre of them which will make you look big. The wrap ones lovely though very flattering.

Ollivander84 · 07/05/2017 11:35

This. I'm a busty size 16 and it skims over any stomach area
