Wanted - nice tops!

I’ve just taken delivery of a couple of Hush tops that I’m really disappointed in. They look like something my mum would have got from Bonne Marche. Horrible squeaky material, cut straight across the bottom at an unflattering length, really scratchy three quarter length elasticated sleeves. Yuk.

I want something to dress jeans up, that will cover my menopausal tummy. Preferably a slight boho vibe, but not too frilly. I also prefer natural materials.

Has anyone bought a ‘nice top’ lately?

Three I've bought recently.

  1. Cotton H&M
  2. M&S Broderie Anglais
  3. H&M Muslin

The H&M items are in several different colours & in a soft Muslin that doesn't need ironing. Likewise lots of Boho style Muslin tops in M&S at the moment.
I can also really recommend the Hush Avalon T shirt in cotton. I wear them on days I'm feeling chunky & they skim beautifully.

Ooh, that H&M one could be a contender! Thanks! What’s the sizing like? Does H&M come up small?

The stripy shirt comes up small.
The Blue Muslin is pretty generous.

I’ve bought 4 from this website recently and they are lovely quality and wash really well. I’ve been impressed

I bought this recently & really like it. Much nicer in person than it looks online (IMO)!

I bought a nice broderie blouse from &Other Stories a few weeks back.
