Never thought I'd be posting in this one! But would I look like a prozzer in this or not?

I'm 37, but been told I don't really look it. I do have a very slim figure. I was looking for one of these in green after seeing someone on the telly wearing one and thinking it looked great (she was much older than me).

Now I'm worried that I'll look silly. What do you think, it's here

you definitely don;t look 37, you are indeed v slim. i think you will look good in that top; what you planning on wearing on your bottom half? fishnet stockings and a red lacy garter?

AnyFuckerForAShiteSoppyCard · 07/02/2009 17:33

errrm, it has a certain look

not a look that I would choose

so I probably shouldn't comment

brimfull · 07/02/2009 17:35

you will look like a wench from the days of' wenchs serving jugs of mead' days

JackieNo · 07/02/2009 17:37

Hmm - not sure. What are you planning to wear it with?

Grammaticus · 07/02/2009 17:38

Hmmm. I think you might. What would you put with it?

rubyslippers · 07/02/2009 17:38

depends what you wear it with ...

Rhubarb · 07/02/2009 17:39

The one I saw on telly was worn with a polo-neck sweater. It looked really good!

I would have preferred green I have to say, but can't find any green ones. And the one she had one had 2 big buttons on the straps, a bit like dungaree buttons, but I liked the neck scoop shape, she had small boobs like me and it looked good on her, different but not hookerish.

How on EARTH do you wear that with a polo neck ?? !!

bellabelly · 07/02/2009 17:41

If you want to tone the look down a bit, you could wear it with a tight-fitting t-shirt (scoop-neck) underneath. Would look great with jeans I think. I used to have something quite similar in my student days but sadly don't have the figure for it any more.

cocolepew · 07/02/2009 17:41

The corset is great... but a polo neck

Rhubarb · 07/02/2009 17:46

Well, perhaps it's not a polo neck, but if you look at the model, it was a top with a neck that came up to where the model's neck is cut off - does that make sense? As I said, hers was green with a black top like that underneath.

Oooooh, can anyone find me what I'm after then if you think that's no good?

Sorry, it's horrible. You might not look like a prozzer, but you would look decidedly odd.

Rhubarb · 07/02/2009 17:56

Well I don't exactly like following the herd and I do have a velvety red corset type thingy that I wear with my black polo-type top and that looks good. At least I think it does, and others have said it does.

I have red hair so green generally goes well with me.

Lulumama, come back and reassure me!

lilacclaire · 07/02/2009 17:56

prefer this one, as everyone else says depends what you wear it with. If you've got the figure go for it!

Rhubarb · 07/02/2009 17:57

Would it look well with a red shirt underneath?

OP posts:
Rhubarb · 07/02/2009 17:57

Well now that's lovely but I wanted something a little more understated that I could wear everyday, not just for special nights out.

Prozzies wear Gucci and Prada suits, you'd be fine with a polo neck assuming you have no boobs at all.

LoveMyLapTop · 07/02/2009 17:59

I dont think it owuld look right with that nappy you are wearing on your profile pic

Flamesparrow · 07/02/2009 18:00

Ooh I really like it

Flamesparrow · 07/02/2009 18:00

A polo neck?!?! what were you watching??

HeadFairy · 07/02/2009 18:02

Hmmm not sure about polo neck... perhaps a white shirt in a drapey jersey type fabric, with slight balloon sleeves, but then you might end up looking like an Austrian serving wench at the Munich Beer Festival!

Rhubarb · 07/02/2009 18:03

Right, see this right? Well she was wearing summat similar only the waistcoat type thing the model is wearing was a green corset/dungaree top thingy like what I want. Geddit?

OP posts:
Rhubarb · 07/02/2009 18:04

A shirt then, I have loads of collared shirts I could wear under it! (I nearly typed in collared shits then)
