Can anybody find me something similar to this but with a lower neck?

I really like Victorian-inspired cotton tops like this but the high neck looks far too matronly on me. Has anybody seen anything similar but a bit lower on the neck please?

I'm not sure how Victorian it can be with a low neck!

This any good?

Not too low - don't want to look like a buxom wench but don't want to look like a governess either!

That one is cute, thanks but probably a bit too billowy - I think it would make me look fat.

Oh dear - I am so sorry and thank you so much for looking - but I don't like any of those.

Ah, don't worry, neither do I

To be honest, I like the one you linked to- I have big boobs and wear stuff like that. Get that one!

That one is cute, Cyb.

Tethers - how big are you if you don't mind me asking and what would you wear the one in the Op with?

It is difficult to white Victorian (prudish style) top when you have big norks really, isn't it?

Oh dear - I don't like any of those either, sorry Kurri.

I think they so easily stray into the sort of thing my mum would wear, when what I really want is to look all waif-like and Kiera Knightley-ish. It's not going to happen is it?

I would wear it to work tucked into a pencil skirt with a wide tan belt.

That sounds really nice Tethers. I am v short waisted though - I think it would just look like I'd got a large shelf instead of a chest - might be a useful place to store my whiteboard markers though, I guess!

janeite don't know if you saw this thread? someone links to your top, and there are a couple of other links on there you may like.

I am pretty long in the body... Mind you, I'm a big believer in wearing stuff because you like it.
