0Looking for Victorian style dresses and tops - high necked or frill fronted things

... for a no-boobed lady. I want to dress a bit smarter, and hide my flat frontage, so which shops do nice high necked stuff without makeing me look like a menopausal (sp?)spinster? I'm 31, size 12, and just want to look a bit smarter for work, am aiming for the sexy librarian look really... I see M&S have some nice shirts in, are there any other places out there I have overlooked?

monsoon?

I got some ruffle-fronted blouses in New Look recently - be careful of the sizes though as they're not consistent over the ranges trhoughout the shop. I think they were about £16-18.

this is nice especially with a v neck? though people will probably hate it

Check out Tescos/Sainsbury's as well. Some of their 'office collections' aren't too bad.

I saw a couple of blouses in lovely colours in Warehouse yesterday.

Luxmum - glad you like dthe link. I have ordered a top and a jacket but they have not arrived yet. The fashion union catalogue came through my door last week.

I'll let you know sizing/quality etc when they arrive.

I got one in New Look of all places the other day.
