Starting here! Hello all

Looks lovely @redtulip12

Ps I also really like your room! Love that chair!

Ok so thought I would give feedback on my purchases.
I got the leopard maxi in a 10. Its a good fit. Just not sure about the length. Its quite long. I think its a keeper but will try it on again tomorrow. The black embroidered top that's new in. Its so short but I absolutely love it. Its just so beautiful around the sleeves and the bust. Its such a shame. At £69 I really feel I should send it back because it is totally overpriced and on the short side but its such an unusual top and I really like it. Its kind of cute looking. The yellow macramé beach dress is very yellow but I really like it too. Don't think it will be that versatile here though as its very yellow and quite see through although contemplating it with my crop dark blue whitestuff jeggings as I love the style of it. The yellow vest. Not sold on it. So its probably going back. I also bought the top you did cherries. Its called the Finsbury. Not keen on it. Agree it really sticks out. So its going back,

The most surprising of all though is the caro vest top. OMG its is so beautiful and an absolute bargain. Its only £30 and looks a million dollars. So shimmery, Buy it buy it buy it!!!!!. It is utterly beautiful. I am so pleased with it.

I found the caro metallic top true to size and a 12 fits me perfectly. You can also adjust the bit that gathers at the top to have it wider. It is really gorgeous. I am not sure I would buy the dress though but its another option.

tilip that skirt and top look fab on you. I also have two Marinas and love them, mostly in the winter.

Can I ask where you got the black vest top? It is hard to find some with thick enough straps ti cover bra straps.

Just logging back in .I lost the thread.. I'm planning a mainland trip tomorrow ( storms allowing - boats have not been running today )

Hoping to to go to JL and have a look at the last pickings of the summer sales (and buy a new kettle!)

@miffy2 I have some really good vest tops with thicker straps from H&M really good quality, never gone out off shape also top shop do some nice ones as well.

Miffy, I wear th double front vest tops from Boden. New ones this year because of weight loss, but the previous ones I’d had for about 5 years.

@neveradullmoment I have been looking at the Caro top & been tempted , but my chest is out of proportion to the rest of my small frame, have 32e chest do you think it could suit large of chest?

I am a 32E and it looks fine. It doesn't make it stick out at all. I will post a picture tomorrow if I get a moment. Stick with your normal size. Its really lovely and subtly shimmery.

It looks beautiful on tanned skin.

Thanks girls, I need to get some more basics in my wardrobe. I find vest tops hard to buy for some reason.

Thanks never, I going to order it looks so pretty I really like the colour.

@neveradullmoment99 okay you win I have bought the Caro top!
It's a lovely top but you've totally won me over with your review. Will make a lovely top for going out.

REVIEW18 is free delivery but not free returns anymore. How long am I going to have to wait (spend) to be a Hush friend?

What will you wear it with Never? Would it look ok with black or blue skinnies?

I hope you like it Ella I love it. Its so pretty and such a gorgeous shell shimmery pink.

It will look fab with a dark colour at the bottom. I think you could wear it with black skinnies, blue skinnies, blacks shorts, wide leg trousers. Would look fab with lots of things.

@miffy2 that vest top was from Sainsbury's. I do also have several from Boden which are good too. I tried the skirt with a cami tucked in but as I have a short body and long legs it looked odd and made me look dumpy!

The Caro top does look beautiful now I've zoomed in on the pictures. Does anyone have a real life photo of it on?

Thanks for feedback on the marina. I think I will wait for now and see what autumn brings.

@neveradullmoment just ordered the Caro top, if it looks ok I would wear it with skinnies or some nice shorts, also think it would look good with black trousers & biker or smart jacket, when the weather gets cooler, also ordered the macy top as it’s just come back in my size & bit more of a reasonable price now.

Thanks, redtulip12! We don't have sainsbury here but now I know what I am looking for. I don't do well with tucked-in tops either.

I'm going to need a good strapless bra with the caro top though - any recommendations anyone? I'm not very large of nork - somewhere between a 34b - 36b depending on where it's from.

@Ellapaella the wonderbra with hands is a great strapless bra.
Please don't take offence but are you sure you are a 34/36? You are so slim. I am a dress size 10 and got fitted by Bravissimo as a 30 band. Had been wearing the wrong size for years!

@Ellapaella I think someone recommended a bra from next & I think Laska has one from M&S.
