Pure Cotton Short Sleeve Shell Top

In a size 20 this doesn't do anything to improve your figure.

Saw it, bought it, loved it. Gorgeous summer top, but slightly bigger than a normal size 10. However, I don't mind it being slightly loose and it looks perfect with either jeans or trousers.

I chose this top in blue as I liked the style and it reminded me of some tops years ago .but what a disaster the cut is very poor and so makes for a poor fit .The neckline was a good fit but the rest was a mess.The bust was a little tight but where the top goes in for the waist was very poor it was much too tight then below that it looked stupid on me and made any one look like a sugar plum fairy. So I am going to have to return it. Please M & S what are you doing with your tops this years.

I bought this top as it looked nice and would be ideal for my holidays. It was also 100% cotton which is what I wanted. The point of cotton is that it is cool in hot weather. It defeats the object if you have to put a camisole underneath a garment and unfortunately with this top I felt that is what was required. It is completely see- through, so will have to be returned. The cut/style is also less attractive on and doesn't flatter the figure that well. I am a regular size 12. I am a huge fan of M&S so a bit disappointed!

Material was purely see through.

As the previous reviewer has said, this does not flatter a full figure. I adored this as soon as I saw it, as I'm a lover of crisp white and broderie anglaise for summer wear, but sadly this style with its raised waistline makes it much too smocky for me. As a woman 'of a certain age' the last thing I want is to look pregnant, and I'm afraid that's what this did for me. The fabric is very nice and I like all the details but I think it's really aimed at someone tall, skinny and above all young - like the model really! I MIGHT have kept it if it was cheaper, but I thought it was quite expensive for a simple summer top, so back it went.
