Yep, everything in huge sixties prints, long dress type tunics which you have to be careful with with big norks to avoid looking pg or teeny strap tops which are no good to anybody but the slim of arm

misdee i hate clothes shopping too - thought for a whie it was because am bit fat with huge norks but actually not sure it's sizerelated as i had no sense of style when i was a 12-14 either.

I was wondering about something like this which also comes in dark blue . The sleeves might be a bit too short for comfort, but the gathering at the bust should be OK, not too likely to make you look pg.

misdee · 09/04/2007 16:26

that would be good if it wasnt for the short sleeves jackie.

i managed to get a couple of long length casual tops from evans, but not all of the colours were long length.

OP posts:
JackieNo · 09/04/2007 16:26

I like this a lot too. What size do you need, misdee?

Original poster
misdee · 09/04/2007 16:28

thats lovely, but out of stock in my size.

OP posts:
JackieNo · 09/04/2007 16:30

Don't at that - nothing wrong with it at all.

How about this ? Scoop rather than v-neck, but still might work.

ScoobyDooooo · 09/04/2007 16:31

Misdee what length do you want? do you like the long tunic tops?

misdee · 09/04/2007 16:32

ScoobyDooooo · 09/04/2007 16:35

how about this

loads of styles on here

You can also wear like the pinafore style tops with a t-shirt top underneath to deal with the arm thing?

bran · 09/04/2007 16:37

What about something like this from La Redoute?

JackieNo · 09/04/2007 16:39

OK, maybe not for high summer but quite nice?
