Have any of you lovely ladies seen/bought a nice backless-ish/semi-backless/back-showy-offy-type top recently?

I'm looking for some nice smart/cas backless-ish tops (or maybe even dresses) that 'show off' the back. I've had a little mooch round town and couldn't really find anything (but I was time-limited so didn't really have long enough to have a proper look)

I usually prefer longish tunic-type tops, empire line rather than waist-cinching (sp?) and would still need to wear some sort of bra so was pondering perhaps something with a section cut out of the back across the shoulders IYSWIM, or maybe even a halterneck, and only really wear darker colours.

Has anybody seen anything like this recently? Not the sort of thing I've worn before so no idea which shops to try (am a high street gal really). Would be very grateful if any can point me in the right direction!

Pretty standard IME; but it depends on the material- what size are you? The firetrap one looks pretty flexible...

I have this - very nice and can be worn with a normal bra

norksinmywaistband · 15/02/2010 10:53

Lovely tops in All Saints (but not cheap). racer back etc.

am about a 12/14 tethers, but depends which shop, can never usually be faffed with online clothes buying and returns but might give it a go

that's quite cute norks, would have to try on though for clingyness assessment I think!

All saints probably a leeeeeeettle over budget tbh
