Can I wear this if I have a large chest?

here

Or will it make me look like I could tuck them in my waistband? (I am a 38E BTW)

[gherkinwithapurplemerkin]

Nice...but I never wear horiz stripes across norks. (30Js)

[tethersend]

Oh, you can wear that no prob IMO.

I wear stripes and I'm a 36H...

[rimmer08]

i would im a 30ff

[tethersend]

Horizontal stripes are slimming anyway- it's vertical stripes which are to be avoided.

[MamaG]

tethers i thought VERTICAL were slimming and horiz were, er, fatting

[BigBadMummy]

I am 38H and personally I wouldn't wear it.

But then I wouldn't wear horizontal stripes.

Would love to be able to, but it would just look hideous on me. Though I am an apple.

If you all over body shape is smaller, but you just have big norks, then go for it.

I do love it.

[OurLadyOfPerpetualSupper]

I think the neckline is the problem rather than the stripes; hard to tell, but it looks quite high to me.

More of a scoop would be better.

< 32ff >

[tethersend]

Common misconception, MamaG- I have always thought horizontal stripes were more slimming than vertical, but it was proved recently. It was on the one show and everything

[tethersend]

Here you are

[beanlet]

The neckline is the real problem, not the stripes; IME (currently a 36G expecting baby no. 1!) V necks and scoop necks are the only things that are remotely flattering to big norks.

[IagreewithNick]

I agree it is the neckline. I recently bought a horizontal stripe top ( I am a 38DD) and it looks great on.

[woopsidaisy]

Well,I have this in navy,am a 34H,size14,hourglass figure.I love it,as it is long,and has proper long sleeves.Thought it would be hideous,but it is lovely.Might get another colour actually.The neckline is deffo higher than I would normally wear,but it is still cute on.

[moondog]

I wouldn't no.
And big tits do need a scoop or v neckline.

[CaptainUnderpants]

It was on QI the other day that horiziontal stripes are more slimming than vertical - i have avioded horiztonal for years but now I might dare ....

[janeite]

I'm 32E and I think the neckline is too high. Try M&S for nice striped tops with more of a scooped neck.

[OurLadyOfPerpetualSupper]

I think there are some stripy tops with drapey necklines around now as well.

[MiniMarmite]

It was on QI about the stripes too, must be true . I'm still to scared to wear them though!

[BridesheadRegardless]

I'm a 32E and I wouldn't.

neckline too high and the cut off line between the plain and stripes is at the wrong point, rights across the boobs drawing the eye there.

I got a nive deep V sailor stripe fitted top from Bravissino last year.
