So, i appear to be a size 6 on top and can i find any nice tops anywhere?!

[MerlinsBeard]

That don't DROWN me or make me look like i am 10? (i can fit in the kids tops but they are often not long enough and even if they are-at 27 i am a tad too old for HSM)

I only wanted a long vest type top FGS

Have you tried Top Shop? They do a size 6 and I'm sure I've seen long vests in there. Warehouse as well? Miss Selfridge?

hmm maybe that is where i am going wrong, we don't have a warehouse or miss selfridge but do have a topshop - i tend to avoid it as its over priced and far too fashionable

WIll have a look in there next time i am in town- thank you!

Have you tried New Look? They do size 6 in lots of things. I sympathise - I hate seeing something gorgeous that drowns me when I try it on, and realising you picked up the smallest size they do. And then everyone says, oh lucky you

Yep, was in there today. Even trekked to the bigger one that is much better and has a "teen" section. All the styles seem to have reams of fabric that just looks odd on me or there will be a really nice shape top but the fabric is horrid(fussy me? noooooo)

I thought twice about posting, still expecting lots of "oh well you should try being size 30 or whatever"

Asos.com do size 6 as do new look , next (omline) , topshop(also do size 4) and warehouse. Lots more shops do size 6 online..if I think of any ill be back. P.s Next size 6 is really big so wouldnt bother with that.

american apparel?

I have a friend who is tiny -very hard to find stuff under an 8
Principles used to do a good petite section-shame.
They still sel their stuff in JOhn Lewis so may be worth a try.

h&m ? do they do a 6/

h&m sizes are teeny in general, worth trying their 8s i reckon.

DD (also a size 6) recommends Republic

I got most of her Christmas presents from there & their delivery service is very good.

oh wow thank you!

i could shop online and try on in RL for most of those places. I am really fussy about clothes (can you tell) so need to know the fit etc before i buy it and will still justify the cost by buying the cheapest poss!!

I can't shop in the petite sections, i am 5'3" but have a long upper body so the petite sections come up too short. It's been a long time since i was this small and when i last was i worked in a fabbo shop with teeny tiny Miss60 !

Agree that next sizes are massive, i am currently wearing size 8 boyfriend jeans that a belt is struggling to hold up!!

Had completely forgotten about H&M too, their 6 fits nicely iirc.
