Why is this so hard?! I don’t want thin straps, below my bum, clingy Lycra, swing style, flouncy bits, see through or that you can’t get a bra under
what I want is the one I had from long tall sally years ago but I’ve bought them all from eBay and now no more Sad

what I do want is a long length (I’m 5ft 10), v neck, draped vest for with shorts/skirt/jeans and comes in a size 18 as I have huge boobs

attached a photo of my fave, it’s fitted but not Matalan long type clingy

tried and rejected this as it’s too short and too swingy

Would you buy one a size larger if you want some extra smoothing but don’t like anything too tight on your stomach ?

Hi. I'd stick to your normal size. They are really comfortable and don't feel too tight.

Thanks. I keep seeing them advertised and thinking of giving them a try.

New look is a no. I’m sorry how is this the same thing?! It is just on my belly button (excuse the crop top/no bra)
on the model, elegantly slouchy
on me, weird peplum crop top

I know I’m fat but FFS
