I love this SB one, but I cannot pay £180 for it!

It's quote flattering, many gilets make me look square, but the belt at the back and it being quite thin at the front works.

Has anyone seen a nice one, similar, but a bit cheapo3r maybe?

Was thinking of equestrian.... although it's for dog walks, I want to feel smart ish....

Lands End. Not identical (no 'belt') but nice and flattering. I'm a short arse so got the petite. Very generous sizing.

Thanks. Genuine to buy petit - I'm 5'6 but very short body.

OK here's my take: I'm nearly 5'4 but longer torso, short legs. I always prefer slightly cropped cardis etc to create an illusion of longer legs. Non-cropped things swamp me.

Edit: It's this one. Reviews are true, I was going to order S or M but ended up getting XS (!) and can still fit a still jumper under it. But it's slightly snug, exp over the chest.

Ones with Vs on the front like this always seem to be more flattering
