can you help me with tops??? please?

[Heathcliffscathy]

i have spent most of the winter in vest tops/shirts/t-shirts under fine guage v neck sweaters. I have good arms, and so can do tight round there. big (32FF) norks. v narrow round ribcage and bit of a a jelly belly.

i'm not overweight (5'4", 9 st 12lb) and am losing. but my worst bit is belly.

so i can do vest tops, but smock tops do nothing for me at all (i look preg in them) but can't be too tight round belly.

what is my summer uniform going to be. i'm coming to the conclusions that it is going to be dresses (which I can do).

any help? feel like i need a gok or trinny to tell me.

My norks are slightly smaller (32E/F), weight/height ratios sound very similar, and belly is my issue.

What do you manage to find dress-wise? I have a nightmare finding ones that fit norks and don't swamp the rest of me

I like this

Have no money until the end of the month though and they will probably sell out by then

sigh. those built in bra tops just don't offer me enough support. I'm a freya bra girl. they seem to make the only (non bolster holster) bras that fit properly.

dresses aren't an issue. i think my ribcage narrowness counterbalances the norks.

cowelnecks look pants on me.

basically don't want to call attention to cleavage, but do want to call attention to narrowness of ribcage.

So we need fitted.

yes. fitted but not plunging.

I'm no good at the actual finding of these things, just getting facts for thems that are

no i haven't. and i should. but i am VERY dubious. most bras don't do it for me, let alone built in ones!

and i don't mind a bit of an amy strap showing.
