Pretty! Perfect top for all women's shapes.

Yes, I recommend this

This is the perfect summer top, and I really hope M&S brings it out in more colours soon. I bought black. The material is cool linen for summer - smart or casual. I usually find fitted tops and peplum styles uncomfortable to wear in hot weather, while looser or high-waisted flared tops can be unflattering and sometimes resemble maternity wear. This top gets the balance exactly right and looks so pretty. I’ve received lots of compliments. I’d recommend sizing down. I first bought a size 14, which was slightly too big but still looked lovely. I then ordered a size 12, and the fit is perfect. If you are slim, go 2 sizes down. The style feels modern, pretty, is incredibly flattering and goes with almost anything. The length is just right—it isn’t too long or too cropped—and the gentle flare starts at the waist rather than higher up, creating a flattering shape without looking like a smock or maternity top. It isn’t too wide or oversized and cleverly skims over any lumps and bumps without clinging, making me feel slimmer. Best of all, being slightly apple-shape, I don't worrying about the shape of my tummy showing!

Black linen square neck top

Beautifully plain and looks great with a tan! I bought the black one in a larger size so it really is loose and oversized. Perfect for dressing up or looking casual and keeping cool.

Love this top. I normally avoid peplum tops as they can stand off your stomach but this one doesn’t so I bought both colours. Cool, comfortable & no need to iron, love it

Gorgeous linen top

Yes, I recommend this

A beautiful linen rich top which has a very flattering shape. The square neckline sits nicely and the lace insert adds interest to the neckline. The grill at the bottom adds interest. And - you are able to wear a normal bra no messing around with strapless

Lovely top, good quality material, fits well and very flattering. I am between size 8 - 10 but sized up to a 10 as it was a bit fitted on the bust line in a size 8. I purchased the black colourway.
