here

What age and size do you think this would suit and what would you wear it with?

well I'm not sure whom it would really suit...looks like it might emphasize any kind of non slender bits iyswim

I think this one would suit someone our age, might make us look younger too!

FlightHattendant · 25/08/2009 10:21

This also v pretty

and this is lovely. Think they have only got a 10 though

FabBakerGirlIsBack · 25/08/2009 12:01

I will bow to superior knowledge and not buy it.

I need longer length tops.

russian top is hideous

Curiousmama · 25/08/2009 12:10

Oh I like the russian top. What's your colouring?

FabBakerGirlIsBack · 25/08/2009 12:12

I am light brown of hair and pale of face.

Good bum, fantastic boobs, terrible tummy.

Doesn't black drain you a bit then? I need long tops too although not that tall at 5 foot 8 but I have a long torso.

AnyFucker · 25/08/2009 12:15

that top looks a bit see-thru, FBGIB

not good if you don't like your tum

I also think it would drain you if you are pale of face

FlightHattendant · 25/08/2009 12:15

I need longer tops too!

FabBakerGirlIsBack · 25/08/2009 12:22

No idea if it drains me but thinking you are probably right..

AnyFucker · 25/08/2009 12:29

this will hide a multitude of sins and will look pretty with dark jeans or black trews

FabBakerGirlIsBack · 25/08/2009 12:51

That does look like it would be a potential new top. Thanks

Oh no russian top is very mumsy and dated.Too fussy for this winter!What about a long slim cardigan with a vest underneath

BunnyLebowski · 25/08/2009 13:04

Concur that the russian top looks v v unflattering and a wee bit fugly.

That green one that anyfucker linked to is beeyoootiful!

FabBakerGirlIsBack · 25/08/2009 13:09

I have got to stop thinking of useful clothes!!

yeh bunny and not too many ££

on the subject of long tops......H&M have some fab thin-strapped camisoles that are super long (they may well even be bodycon dresses for the extremely young and thin, actually!!). They are £4.99. They had white, pearl grey, cobalt blue and black and finish right at the top of the thigh (I am very long-bodied so may be longer on regular length people!). Definitely layering pieces though rather than wear alone.

I bought the pearl grey to wear beneath a slinky v-neck jumper/jumper dress which I bought from Zara last month. Not only great for an extra layer but supportive enough to smooth over any lumps and bumps too.

i like the russian top fabric wise, though it might cover your bum/bust too much and not really do much for your tum.

like the teal top from Anyfucker, though that length of sleeve i don't wear as it cuts off the arm at an unflattering point (focus on bingo wings) but if you have nice top-arm why not? (i love that colour)

cardigan & vest nice but if FBIB has a good bum why hide her best asset with a long cardie?

i'm always jealous of people with shapely rears, mine has always kept me behind...
