Big boobs..top lifts up
NO.2. ask :
Big boobs..top lifts up
Does anyone else find a top - you try it on and the length etc is perfect :) However, after you wash it, it has shrunken slightly or as you walk around in the day you find it just rises up and doesn't look so perfect :( it's so frustrating.
Because I have a small (ish) waist and big boobs it lifts up and goes baggy around my stomach :(
I always try to look for longer tops..but it's difficult :(
Answer:
I have a new description for many tops as "pregnancy tops", so if you ever hear anyone cursing or shrieking with laughter at a top in fitting rooms with that phrase, it's probably me. I have fairly big boobs and i'm a size 12 with a nice but not fully toned belly. I RESENT a) having to cover it up b) being made to look 3 times my size by current trends that would have all tops go down to my ankles and invest in so much fabric I could hide a small toddler around my mid-drift, never mind a pregnancy bump :mad:
It might be pase to have mid-drift on show, but I don't dress like a tart nor a chav and even though Britney isn't THAT much of an idol I intend to show it off a little now and then, because I'm 19 and can :yay: I can't understand the point in low rise jeans otherwise.
Oh, and does no one else find longer tops can look SUCH a mess with the top of jeans underneath, never mind accentuating a belly that was never there in the first place :eek:
Answer:
If you're prepared to pay a little extra, Bravissimo tops overcome this problem.
Answer:
I'm glad I'm not the only one :p It sounds like I have a similar body shape to you.
Most tops are really unflattering :(:(
I've noticed the tops in Bravissimo pansymouse but they're quite expensive aren't they :meh: thanks for the reminder though hun xx
Answer:

They are not *that* expensive, and paying the extra amount is worth it to look better.
I was going to say that it's always worth buying a top that fits your bust but is too big on the waist, then taking it to a dry cleaner or proper tailor and having the bottom half taken in. Once you've paid for the top and the alteration, it comes to about the same amount as the Bravissimo top anyway.

PayPal Query (Slightly O/T)
Hi,
I won a pair of pinstripe black trousers for work 2 nights ago, and I had a PayPal account but hadn't yet registered my bank details with them.
So after I won it, I went on to PayPal, registered my details and they confirmed this. Now it says to wait and check my bank in 3-5 working days to see 2 small payments deposited by them, then enter the value of these on PayPal for verification that the account is my own.
I am going to check every day, weren't in today, but I went ahead and tried paying with PayPal anyway.
It said payment was successful, and that £4.11 would get debited from my account in about 3 days. I also received confirmation and receipt details via email.
So althoigh I haven't verified my account, will this still have worked? I was wondering that the confirmation emails were sent just by procedure that I had paid, whether it has worked or not.
Sorry I know this doesn't make sense, but I'm a bit worried now because the seller wants payment within 3 days!!!!
Please help me, LL xxxxxxxxx
Answer:
It should be fine. As long as it says completed in your Paypal account. :)
The amounts that they're going to deposit will be to confirm that the bank account is yours.
Answer:
You only need to enter the amounts of the small payments to verify your account (you can use the account without verifying) and if you want to set up a direct debit. I did this awhile ago, but I'd been using my account for ages before I verified.
(I think this is correct, but if you want to know for sure, you should try phoning PayPal. I had to call them awhile ago and found the helpline was actually quite speedy and was surprised as I expected it be useless!)
Answer:
God this sounds so stupid, but what does that mean Direct Debit in this context?
I know you can transfer funds from your bank account to a PayPal account, and pay from there.
I haven't done that, I've just paid directly from my account if that makes sense. I assumed that that was Direct Debit.
Soz I'm confused!
Answer:
As far as I'm aware there are 3 ways of paying from my UK Paypal. :) There's instant bank transfer (that's the default option if you have a bank account linked), there's an E-cheque option which pulls straight from your bank account as well takes a few days to clear, and there's a credit/debit card option which allows you to use your card to pay (this credits instantly.)
You can transfer money into Paypal to pay but you don't have to. I verified my banking info with Paypal because I was selling wanted to withdraw my money into it.

Iron press marks - how do you get rid of them???

Iron press marks - how do you get rid of them???
Hi there
I have a black coat that seems to have been ironed over the front fastening part and has been left with a paler press mark from the seam underneath (if that makes sense:p ). How might I be able to get rid of this? Would dry cleaning help? I rubbed a damp cloth over but it didn't make any difference.:(
Can anyone think of any other solutions?
Meli x
Answer:
I would probably clean the coat again.
Get an ironing cloth to prevent scorch marks when you iron it in the future... I got one of these from the kleeneze catalogue that comes through the door for about £2 and it is brilliant.
