Arrrgghhhh!!! *girl crap rant alert*

I struggle finding tops that are any good too. Either paper thin and see through under normal light/flash* OR too tight around the neck (not sized up from size 8 UK at all it seems) Or too low and wide.

I've just had to buy some 'modesty panels' for when I get back to work as it doesn't matter what I wear - if I'm not nearly choking I end up keeping my fleece zipped up to stop feeling self conscious when work colleagues are standing in front of my desk and I'm sitting down.

The places I tend to find the most suitable stuff for UK based peeps is Dorothy Perkins. They last a while but all the necklines are built way too wide and risk showing bra straps or far too much cleavage. They do sweat a little too. (But they are cheap in the £8-10 or 2 for ~£15 range). Sainsburys TU 'corded' style tops aren't too bad either.


*not showing you that photo of me wearing a grey top which was fine until the flash showed up my white bra... damn it.

Quoth blas

My boyfriend's favorite bra of mine makes my boobs look like a damn shelf.

My friend the DJ calls those "Tea-tea trays."

For the UK ladies I'd suggest Bravissimo, Boux Avenue and Debenhams if you haven't tried them already. Debenhams have the widest price range, but Boux Avenue have sales all the time. I'm somewhere around a 38D but it varies with the brand. I'd be annoyed if someone said I was lucky as well. I get annoyed with shops that stop stocking sizes above a 36C.
