Would you keep this top?

I bought this as a Christmas going out top and although I like it I think it might be a bit "mumsy". What do you think?

I like it! Smile

NC6789012 · 19/11/2021 23:20

Love it! Very on trend

Aristodog · 19/11/2021 23:21

I like it but would be a little concerned about the flower placement. It looks fine in the first picture, but the second picture looks a bit, erm, booby.

MacNTosh · 19/11/2021 23:22

Sorry no I wouldn’t keep it. It’s matronly.

Aristodog · 19/11/2021 23:22

That could well just be the angle of the photo, though!

Houseplantmad · 19/11/2021 23:23

Doesn’t flatter your skin figure much and I don’t like lots of embellishments!

Houseplantmad · 19/11/2021 23:23

Slim not akin!

oviraptor21 · 19/11/2021 23:23

Too mumsy for me.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 19/11/2021 23:23

It's lovely but the flower placement spoils it so I'd send it back

BlameItOnTheBlackStar · 19/11/2021 23:24

I quite like it but it does look like you've got flowers for tits Grin

Juniper68 · 19/11/2021 23:25

No because of flower tits

immersivereader · 19/11/2021 23:27

Not keen tbh

I think you've clarified for me! I don't love it and it doesn't make me feel fabulous so it's going back. Thanks everyone 🙂

Don’t think it looks particularly mumsy, just don’t like it, sorry

Peanutmnm · 19/11/2021 23:30

You've a beautiful figure. I'm on the fence about the top.

RobertaFirmino · 19/11/2021 23:31

It's very Frank Usher. I'm assuming it is new rather than vintage thought so I'd consider the following:
Is it worth the price?
Is it dry clean only?
Are the embellishments secure and are there any spare beads/sequins attached. If so, can you be arsed to replace them should they fall off? Do you even know how to replace them?

Emmelina · 19/11/2021 23:31

The flower boobies don’t do you any favours :) doesn’t hang well on your lovely figure either!

ZenNudist · 19/11/2021 23:32

Flowers on your boobs?

belimoo · 19/11/2021 23:33

I quite like it but as others have said, I don't think it does your lovely figure justice and think you could look even better.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/11/2021 23:35

Of course it's not mumsy because there's no such thing. I'd really like it if the flowers were better positioned, but they don't sit well unfortunately.

Cheerbear24 · 20/11/2021 00:27

The flowers are in a very unfortunate position. I don’t like it I’m afraid.

CinnamonJellyBeans · 20/11/2021 00:31

Yep, Frank Usher vibes. Save it for Christmas 2051.

indiesearcher · 20/11/2021 00:57

Love it and think it suits your figure really well, shame about flower placement.

NiellyNoFive · 20/11/2021 01:10

It's bizarre

Flowers over your boobs and the sequins look a bit shit the way they're sewn on

Good decision to return it
