Need a longline but smartish top, please

Has anyone seen any not that casual but not too frumpy longline tops in nude/black that would go with dark blue/black/grey skinnies and black leggings? Needs to be mid/top of thigh and about £30, will stretch to more if really fabulous.
I am a size 14, busty with broad shoulders and am 5ft 9", I am curvy (have a waist) and find that skimming tops flatter me best (voluminous just makes me look like a beachball on twigs), if that info is needed.

Off to do bedtime, thanks in advance.

S'alright Saz, you are prob just too used to getting size 8's now

Trills, R3DP, gets 20%

Nice neckline on that one

Already looked maxi dresses there and dismissed for picky little reaons - mostly that I don't like the patterns, too spiky or geometrical and too acidy colours. The one I like best is ppwww.oli.co.uk/Fever-Seamist-Maxi-Dress/productdisplay.stm?An=673&Ntt=Maxi+dresses&A=36T041_ 8&N=0&Nty=1&Au=PMasterItem&Nu=PMasterItem&Ntx=mode+matchallany&Ns=PColour|0||PSize|0&Ntk=PRIMARY this one]] but sat down at a table it would be just white and I don't want to wear white to a wedding.

TrillianAstra · 18/03/2010 21:48

this one

Lizzylou · 18/03/2010 21:48

No, don't wear white to the wedding, bad form. Esp as you are young and gorgeous, bride will be spitting. Though to be fair at my wedding, I couldn't have cared if the guests wore pyjamas.
I saw a Maxi in the Next directory that seemed similar to your Coast one, will have a look. Bella may have linked already.

I like that, Trills and it is very non-white, iyswim. It's not all white/cream.
If you like it, I'd get it, it would look love on you, with your lovely dark locks.

I might try it if the ebay one doesn't work out...
