good smock tops this season

[time4tea]

am still losing mummy-tummy, although weight coming off gradually. sad fact is I need longer-line smock tops (either shirt style, or empire line, anything that comes down to mid-hip with a neckline that can be opened or is v-neck, lowish, to show off norks, and slimness above mummy-tummy)

Monsoon is usually helpful here but currently all in dry-clean only. Cotton is best, not clingy t-shirt material.

Kew usually also good (fab shirt-dresses in cotton over summer, now only silk - v expensive plus dry-clean)

any good stuff out there ladies

thanks for all the great advice re suspenders, getting colours done etc you've been saving my (still chunky, but tasty) bacon

I am looking for the same sort of thing. Before I had 3 children I could wear most styles of top - now thanks to stubborn muffin I am so limited style-wise. Cant help you but will follow the thread in hope!

bumping...
