@Evenstar Thanks so much! ive ordered one only had xxl so hopefully its not too big because I prefer more fitted top half. Funny I've been googling for months never saw that one on matalan. Maybe because I've been looking on my phone

ChishiyaBat · 06/12/2024 12:39

@TragicMuse when I have a dress that is like that, front or back I just wear a stretchy crop top in either a matching or opposite colour depending on the dress, i've got black ones, white ones, blue ones, red ones and grey ones. Making one sounds like the ideal solution though.

Yes I was thinking about that! But I wonder if another layer would then be too warm...

I don't have time to go scrap-hunting what with the mince pies and Carol concerts to attend to!, so have ordered a pack of cheap modesty panels for now.

I have stretchy cotton ones and I don't find them too warm, it depends on the material though I guess.

I bought a manners London crop top.

Oh dear! Oh dear oh dear oh dear!

It doesn't have a bottom band. And despite being sold as being big-boob-friendly it has weirdly rolled up a number of times today, leaving the lower half of my ample bosom unexpectedly free-range. I was AT WORK! It was really quite inconvenient, you can't hoik it down in a full office.

Options are either resell it or buy a bit 🤏🏻 f fabric and make a band (I do make clothes so this isn't an impossible stretch).

But it's not wearable as it is. Not even remotely.

ChishiyaBat · 13/12/2024 13:09

@TragicMuse oh no that is annoying, how easy would it be to stick a band on it and would that stop it from riding up?

@TragicMuse oh no that is annoying, how easy would it be to stick a band on it and would that stop it from riding up?

It's a relatively easy job overall - just a band of stretch/knit fabric which is around 75-80% shorter than the bottom hem, sew it on, job done. It should add the length I need, hold them in and prevent the rolling.

But can I be arsed to do it?!

It's meant to be a supporting crop top and it just...isn't!!

Luckily it was a tenner not £39 or whatever they are full price.

ChishiyaBat · 13/12/2024 13:39

Oh bloody hell @TragicMuse I would have been tamping if i'd paid full price that is extortionate for a crop top!

@ChishiyaBat Very hectic but this year I'm working so it.ll be a quiet one for me

ChishiyaBat · 17/12/2024 19:22

I bet it is @Dollyparot200 fun though❤️. Working however is not fun, i'm off for a week this year my last shift is Sunday. However if I hadn't changed my shifts then I would have been in Christmas eve, boxing day, new years eve and New years day, now i've condensed my hours i'm only in new years day.
