Thats' it really. I love them and think they are really classic so wouldn't mind spending a bit more than i usually do but probably not over about £50. TIA

Do you mean this kind of thing - a Breton style top? (though possibly in dark blue, with the stripes in cream/white).

petitmaman · 20/01/2010 21:04

Thank you that is exactly what i mean. with the stripes pess a bit narrower?

Jigsaw - they also have scoop neck ones in store.

Petit Bateau also do them but not online I think.

LetThemEatCake · 20/01/2010 21:12

here?

traceybath said that she got one in Jigsaw (I think) the other day ... hopefully she'll see this thread.

JackieNo · 20/01/2010 21:12

Yes, I was going to suggest searching out somewhere that stocks Petit Bateau.

Or the real thing, not sure the stripes are narrow enough though.

LetThemEatCake · 20/01/2010 21:13

ooooh, tracey, that was uncanny!!

I got a cheapo one from Oliver Bonas recently. Vero Mode is the label inside.

JackieNo · 20/01/2010 21:14

How cute is this? - shame it's just a teeny bit over your price range!

traceybath · 20/01/2010 21:21

Spooky - twilight zone music kicks in .

Francagoestohollywood · 20/01/2010 21:24

I think the best ones are from Petit Bateau.
Zara often has nice stripey tshirts.
Or Chanel...

MimsyStarr · 20/01/2010 21:30

yes i have 2 from petit bateau and they are v nice. Though not very long!

petitmaman · 21/01/2010 07:30

thanks everyone. that is great. once I had the name breton which had escaped from my tiny mind I googled it and found a few. One perfect one for only ....£360. typical. Shall have more of a look later.

I was after exactly the same thing for the last few weeks...
saw one in tesco BUT material was quite cheap feeling iykwim..seemed one wash and it would be out of shape...

I found one though last week.....at...............primark .

I was never a shopper there before but feel I have found a new lease of life .
BTW it was about £4 and it a lovely stretchy fabric. Fits lovely and infact im wearing it today .

Take a look, you will be surprised!

Lots in dotty ps, new look and next.....all longer ones suitable for wearing with leggings, have lived in them during my pregnancy. Once baby here i will never ever wear a stripy top again, sick of them. The next ones have washed and tumble dried very well.
