Isabella Oliver top - flattering or fashion faux pas?

[Whoamireally]

I love this top from Isabella Oliver but I am a size 16 with a horrid mum tum...

Is it just going to accentuate all my worst bits, or highlight the better bits? (relatively narrow waist in comparison to the rest of me) - what do you think wise fashion savvy ladies??

And nice boobs. But let down by the belly.

I'm a 12 and would look enormous in that. I suppose it depends on norkage as well as stomach.

Hmm well they always use bloody skinny models and so you can't tell really what it'd look like on a normal person! I was sort of hoping the stripes going in all directions would detract from unsightly bellyage but perhaps not.

The thing is though, I missed your bit about nice boobs. I hate mine, so clearly would avoid something that appears designed to emphasise them - you LIKE yours, so should give it a try.

I used to have a top with just a crossover bit on the top from Coast, and boobs looked great in that, but with the IO it sort of has panels which might 'frame' my belly and generally outweigh the benefits of enhanced norkage. Perhaps.
