    Love that top BB - how do their sizings measure up?

    I was impressed Pooky. It's a bit of a problem buying from ebay because of guessing about sizing but it is just right for me. I'm 5ft 7 tall and it is the right proportions for me to cover tum/bum nicely. I would say the sizings are similar to Evans. I'm what I would call hour glass shaped so although I do go in and out, my out bits go out a long way! I find some of the styles which are long just seem to 'hang' from the bust but this does show some accentuation on the waist but also covers the bumps!

    picked up a nearly free freebie off the board this week - 6 smelly candle 'melts' which are free plus 75p postage. I'm burning the baby talc one at the moment, it's lovely.

    They are nice colours pooky - I almost nearly bought the Maroon one as well. Might well do when payday comes :D

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    I've gone for that one Linda but in black and again in olive green. Very much my style of top. Gone for the one BB posted in purple and then a short sleeved one with a hanky hem line. :j

    I love the hanky hems.

    There is nothing at all in the size 12-14 category :cry:

    ...probably a good job really ;)
