it is simple so it will go with virtually anything. nice with a pair of jeans.

MaryAnnSingleton · 11/07/2008 12:50

I don't like lacy-looking things - they remind me of underwear, sorry !

MrsBadger · 11/07/2008 12:55

only for the small of nork - neck too high /sleeves too short for the busty

FAQ · 11/07/2008 12:57

I'm a 30D.....

petite with big knockers! get a v neck or a nice wrapover.

MrsBadger · 11/07/2008 12:59

use your judgement
I am 32dd and it'd look rubbish on me

FAQ · 11/07/2008 13:01

I think it looks ok on.....was more concerned about the lacy look and whether I'd look old and frumpy

if you already have lots of 'safe' tops why nto try something different? you dont want a wardrobe full of samey clothes.

FAQ · 11/07/2008 13:03

you know I've never once looked in the mirror and thought "I'd got big norks".....quite the opposite.

Was quite suprised when I got fitted a few weeks back to find I was a D......but still think they look small.....

I wouldn't pay £29 for a plain top tbh.

MaryAnnSingleton · 11/07/2008 13:05

FAQ - I didn't want to say it, but that kind of top would make a person look frumpy

2cats2many · 11/07/2008 13:06

bit boring

MrsBadger · 11/07/2008 13:07

well, a 30D boob is objectively less big than a (eg) 38D boob, but it's all about how big theyare compred with your frame.

Have you thought about looking at Bravissimo tops? I know the model are all voluptuous and you are obv petite, but they are cut with room for norks yet fitted at waist and ribs so are remarkably flattering.

FAQ · 11/07/2008 13:07

bethoo - this would be different for me....

when I say "plain" - I mean no patterns, just plain, boring on tone/textured tops...

Lacy type is quite adventurous for me.

Should perhaps add - this was given to me in a bag of clothes from someone who goes shopping, doesn't try anything on, goes home, decides she doesn't like something and then can't be bothered to take it!

First impressions when I took it out the bag was "I'd never wear that" - but now I'm not sure

OP posts:
bethoo · 11/07/2008 13:08

hell if youi did nto pay for it then wear it!
though next time you do buy something go for something you would never normally consider, youo may be surprised at how good you look.

FAQ · 11/07/2008 13:11

god no! I'd never pay £29 for a top (I do have one or two slightly more adventurous tops in my wardrobe now) - but for everyday wear I still prefer "safe"

It took a whole load of bottle to empty almost my entire wardrobe 4 months ago after H moved out to start over again with things that at least looked nice (rather than fat, frumpy, 10yrs out of date, 10yrs old, etc etc etc).

I think it looks pretty and fresh, and would look good in a simple classic way, with capri style trousers (very Audrey Hepburn) and little pump style shoes.

or with a waistcoat?

it isn't very exciting.

But do you want to be a bit more adventurous?

I don't think 30D is huge of norks (I am 32F and that top wouldn't suit me)

Lola234 · 18/07/2008 14:23

it looks nice, and i like the cut.

cocolepew · 18/07/2008 14:26

I was going to say it was a bit dear for a shirt, but if was free, wear it!
