Black strappy top for size 16

Looking for a perfect black top to go with black skinnies, happy to show cleavage, but not clingy. Ideally like something different and a bit stylish, not just a crepe camisole

Bravissimo is your friend; they are doing 2 or 3 that are broderie/woven/thicker material, and suitable for busty people.

Kaz2200 · 15/03/2019 12:40

Thanks just had a look on the Bravissimo website, but there all a bit plain, I was wanting something maybe longer with a bit more detail in the design.

Try www.simplybe.co.uk - they have loads of this sort of thing.

Kaz2200 · 15/03/2019 12:52

Just be careful if you come across any with a so called built in bra. I made that mistake. Not only was it very hot, it felt akin to wearing a corset.

Have a look on Asos. The site has a great filter so you can target your search by size, colour, style, price.

skippy67 · 15/03/2019 13:31

I have this one. www.asos.com/prd/6968068

skippy67 · 15/03/2019 13:32

Forgot to say, I can wear a normal bra with it, despite the low back.

Kaz2200 · 15/03/2019 13:46

Asos have a few possibilities, I feel really fussy, but although I'm only 5'2, and size 14 I need a 16 top. I also cannot wear jeans or trousers without a belt so if tops are too tight or too short they show my belt buckle. On the other hand I I want something to steamline me. I have a couple of patterned long jackets so would like black, but then something not boring when I take my jacket off. I'm usually a cheap budget /charity shop girl, but prepared to spend money for something that is beautifully cut.

Of all the places I've just ordered a few things from Boohoo in the sale. OK not great quality, but we will see how much I keep or if its all sent back.

Mine is from bravissimo, the only shop who make clothes to fit me.

Kaz2200 · 15/03/2019 15:18

That Whistles one is gorgeous, but sold out.

Eh? Showing as in stock for me... in all sizes... Confused

Kaz2200 · 15/03/2019 15:44

Sorry my mistake, I going to order that, what is the sizing like if its generous I will only need a 14.

OP posts:
BringMeTea · 15/03/2019 15:45

I find their fitted stuff true to size not overly generous but quite wide if that makes any sense!

Kaz2200 · 15/03/2019 15:50

Excellent ill order a 14, then, you don't have a discount code by any chance?

OP posts:
Kaz2200 · 15/03/2019 16:09

Ordered from Whistles, will update when it arrives.

OP posts:
BringMeTea · 15/03/2019 16:38

Don't think Whistles do them. Hope it suits, it looks lovely.

Kaz2200 · 20/03/2019 18:48

Just an update. I bought the whistles fringe cami, it arrived today, it is really nice although I am swapping for a size 16. It is exactly what I was looking for so I have a black silloutte and can wear a patterned jacket but is more interesting than a plain black top. Also and extra 15% off the sale price so was £50. More than I would usually pay but I'm sure I'll get loads of wear out of it.

Yay! That's great. Always good to get an update.
