Have any of you lovely ladies seen/bought a nice backless-ish/semi-backless/back-showy-offy-type top recently?

[MadreInglese]

I'm looking for some nice smart/cas backless-ish tops (or maybe even dresses) that 'show off' the back. I've had a little mooch round town and couldn't really find anything (but I was time-limited so didn't really have long enough to have a proper look)

I usually prefer longish tunic-type tops, empire line rather than waist-cinching (sp?) and would still need to wear some sort of bra so was pondering perhaps something with a section cut out of the back across the shoulders IYSWIM, or maybe even a halterneck, and only really wear darker colours.

Has anybody seen anything like this recently? Not the sort of thing I've worn before so no idea which shops to try (am a high street gal really). Would be very grateful if any can point me in the right direction!

oooooh nice, esp like that firetrap one

what do sizes come up like on asos do you know?

[tethersend]

Pretty standard IME; but it depends on the material- what size are you? The firetrap one looks pretty flexible...

am about a 12/14 tethers, but depends which shop, can never usually be faffed with online clothes buying and returns but might give it a go

that's quite cute norks, would have to try on though for clingyness assessment I think!

All saints probably a leeeeeeettle over budget tbh
