Nice tops with sleeves for wearing with midi skirts?!

rustyzip

I've put on an awful amount of weight in the last six months. My upper arms are huge.
My best friend has asked me to be godmother this Weekend and I've decided to wear a nice midi skirt as it covers my belly.
I'm stuck for a top to wear under it.
I'm looking for a plain black/gold/white top with sleeves, hopefully something flattering as I've got quiet huge boobs. It needs to be tucked in to the skirt too.
I'm panicking about it as I only have tomorrow eve after work to shop for it and would love to look nice for once without hating how I look.

Please help if you've any suggestions within Dublin city centre.

If anyone knows of a decent midi dress with long sleeves either I'd love to have a look...

Don't panic!! You can always get a top like you describe in Penny's.

Or what about something like this from Dunnes http://www.dunnesstores.com/gallery-chiffon-sleeve-shrug//dunnesstores/fcp-product/2561297?colour=white
Comes in Black/white you could wear it over a sleeveless top (that you may already have?

Or something like this http://www.dunnesstores.com/carolyn-donnelly-the-edit-cotton-long-sleeve-top/tops/dunnesstores/fcp-product/7060130?colour=black possibly with a statement necklace with some of the colours of the skirt?

Or this from Zara: http://www.zara.com/ie/en/collection-aw15/woman/tops/ruffle-top-c269186p2815329.html

River Island new stock seem to have a good few long sleeve black tops: http://www.riverisland.com/women/tops/black/_/N-804Zy

This one could be very flattering: http://www.riverisland.com/women/knitwear/knitted-tops/black-drape-front-top-673784 (You could just wear a vest top underneath if it is too high at the front.

Mango would be a another suggestion, always good for tops!
Best of luck!

No worries, meant to say bring the skirt with you when looking for the top. You might luck upon a really helpful sales person who will find what you need for you!!
Wallis might be worth a look too.

Dreading going shopping but it must be done!
After the stress and disappointment in myself for getting so fat, I think it has given me the push to start being healthier!
A silver lining amongst it all!

COS up beside BTs and Weirs might have something for you too. I think they still have a sale going on too! Very nicely tailored clothes in there.

Totally know how you feel. Had let myself get to the stage that even my fat pants were tight, knew things were bad then!! Felt totally blaagh about myself and it was really getting me down. Two weeks back at healthy diet and exercise and feeling so much better about myself!!
