What top for this skirt?

[Ryffian]

I need some advice from the fashion gurus.

 

What top should I find to wear with this skirt? I'm a size 16, so nothing too skimpy!! I was thinking that a something red would be fun, but all I can seem to find are plain t-shirt like things. The skirt is polyester and spandex (93%/7%) so it's nice and "flowey." Help? :rolleyes:

I like this one but it is white...

or maybe something like this, it really isn't caribbean but I love the way wrap blouses make me slim down a bit :)

This one might look good--I tried to copy it but couldn't.

It's available at Macy's with free shipping!!

Have a great time on your cruise:)

I really like what FloridaLaura found..that is what I was going to go look for as well. ...a wrap red top!:D

Great find!!

If you are a plus size this will slim you in the waist ( wrap do that well) and the longer sleeve will offer warmth that is often needed in the frozen tundra of the public areas.

Dress this up with some sparkly jewelry and you have a great outfit!

Beautiful color but be really careful with something like this.....

Depending on your face shape, the rounded neckline can make one look heavy.

Plus, all that gathering in the front there going straight down, and then that band hitting at most peopl's widest part?

Combination for disaster!

Now...if it had ruching going the other way...different story.

It is all in the illusion of the cut and fabric with the way it lays on the body.;)

This will more likely add weight visually, sorry.:(

Nice suggestion, though.

I agree with Heather. The wrap will be a more flattering style and will not add bulk. And the neckline is perfect for a great necklace:)

I agree . Heather's wrap will look great!

[desperatehousewife]

I agree . Heather's wrap will look great!

Thanks....but I can't take credit!

It is actually FloridaLaura who found it, I just re-posted the pic so we could all see it.:D

Good job FloridaLaura!!

The red wrap is great I would get one in black as well than you have another outfit.

[BlueHerons]

I agree with the wrap.

 

However, is your problem area your top or bottom?

 

If it is your top, go with either a red or navy wrap. If your bottom is bigger go with a white wrap.

Is that navy or black!?

I swear my computer screen/monitor is acting up lately.....:eek:

( Blue Herons....That dress by Rami that Jane loved? It totally looked brown on my screen until I looked at it on tv, then it was green!:rolleyes: Time to go shopping!)

I LOVE knot front shirts like this:

Daisy Fuentes does a lot of knot front shirts, I get my DF stuff at Kohl's, very well priced. I have these in long sleeve, short sleeve and no sleeve in all colors for all seasons. They really make your curves stand out and minimize the ones you may want to hide!

[Ryffian]

Oh wow, I love the idea of the wrap shirt ... now we'll see if I can find one with the right color red. ;)

 

Thanks guys!!

Totally agree!

 

I think the wrap top is nice. I think the other two options are too blousy and with the full skirt would only make the wearer look heavy, short and frumpy.

 

If you're smaller on top, go with a white wrap in either a knit or a woven, but it should be body hugging.

 

If you're top heavy, then do navy or red, and just make sure there's not too much fabric in the skirt. If there is, take it in a few inches.

I am so glad everyone likes the wrap shirt! I love the two I have, they really are slimming, I have black and one in white, I may go look for a red one too!
