Help needed! Top to go with trousers for a wedding

32 replies

pcworld · 28/04/2009 14:30

We are going to a wedding at the end of May - I am on a v tight budget so was thinking of either wearing existing smart black trousers - OR smart white linen trousers - with a nice blouse and heels. The trouble is, I can't seem to find a suitable top. I am v small on top and a lot of the stuff I am coming across seems too voluminous. I think I need something with ruffles and definitely not something low cut! Can any of you style gurus help or advise ..? I also have a nice pair of olive green linen trousers, so think I am covered on the bottom half at least!

Hmm, am now toying with the possibility of a dress .. any views on this www.greatplains.co.uk/product/womens+Dresses/J1AD1/Hummingbird+Dress.htm

Thought the top bit might be suitable for the small bust ie big bow etc! The only problem would be - wot shoes?! Although .. if I got the grey version, I have some fabulous dusky pink jigsaw shoes from 4 years ago that still look good which might go??

Would this be awful - OR again, with the jigsaw shoes and a great necklace, could it be fabulous? www.greatplains.co.uk/product/womens+Dresses/J1AG1/Forget+Me+Knot+Dress.htm

Impressed with the Great Plains website, will post again to see if there is a free delivery code knocking around ....

I'd be careful of great plains - I found the quailty to be shite frankly and the sizing is v. small

Hi there. How about these tops, 2 for 1 and the pink would go with black!

Disappointed re: Great Plains remark, I had thought they looked so promising! V nice Karen Millen top but just a bit over my budget, sadly!

OK, here we go again! Any views on this dress? To be worn with aforementioned pink shoes and some sort of fabulous necklace. Would that be ok - or too casual?
