I need a gingham top

Saw a lovely one from Baukjen but then realised it has puffy sleeves which don't suit me as a pear shaped person !

Anyone seen one I might like ?

Ideally cotton .

Kit and kaboodle had some gingham.

I think puffed sleeves are perfect for a pear as they balance you out and draw attention away from your hips.

Loads of gingham in Primark j saw today. May not be your preferred shop but there's loads. My son said they looked like tablecloths. I love it though !

Thanks for the replies - probably needs to be online but will definitely check out primark if I go near one .

Maybe I need to try the Baukjen one but lots of the reviews say the sleeves aren't good!

Interesting @WhoopItUp you might be right but sometimes these current puffed sleeves just make me look wider all over.

@Shinyandnew2022 I agree with you. As a pear shape I'd rather embrace the bigger bottom and look slimmer on my top half that bigger right the way down. I'm a 12/14 on the top, 14/16 on the bottom, and puff sleeves make me look 14/16 right the way down.

Especially since they always finish al the boob point.

Yep this is how I feel !
