    Still no more spends by me :A Can anyone advise where to get some decent vest tops from? I like the ones with the thicker (ie not spaghetti straps) with the low back to match the front. I used to like the ones topshop did years ago but now their's seem so thin that you can see through them :eek: oh, size 6/8 please :D

    Have you looked in Peacocks, I always got nice non thinny strapped vest tops from there, but dont know with their current problems what will be in.

    Sorry :o I'm a bit of a short ar*e if that makes you feel any better? I did see some in Peacocks but I find (like Primarni) they tend to do things like basic vest tops in double sizes starting at 8-10 which end up too big for me (not a lot at the front to fill them :() and even the 8's in there tend to stretch after time. I usually wear them under jumpers or other tops etc but like the option of 'stripping off' if I get hot, without the worry I might flash my boss my bra if I lean too far forward at my pc :eek::rotfl:

    Sounds like you are built like my sister, but she would have been a topshopper =)

    How about a size 4 then ;)

    But pricier but might be worth it for your modesty ;)

    Dotty ps all start a 6 for tops, and they wash really well, normally on some sort of offer, hope this helps on phone so need to be brief :)

    Werent you cold? Loads of mums walk their kids to school in Jammies where I live, and I must admit they seem draughtier than just throwing on a tracksuit!

    (Dunno what its like where you live, round here still wearing your PJs is the norm)

    I did have a stiff breeze blowing through my trousers which is how I noticed I had forgotten to get dressed! Did remember to put my big coat on though so hopefully that saved my dignity a little, and it was still dark too :)

    I don't think PJs is really the done thing around here! Its a little village out in the sticks where the majority of people live in wellies and flat caps, definitely no pyjamas!! I think I already lower the tone somewhat due to not driving the regulation 4x4/people carrier!
