Velvet top

Try searching on the internet. I’ve seen several nice ones, but usuallly in black. I am now looking for a long dress for a Black Tie Dinner - most seem to be black! I wore a lot of black when young, but now it seems to drain me and I prefer some colour. I have a two lovely knee length dresses in red and green which I could wear, but I fancied a long one. I might try the charity shops! Good luck with your search!

Try Boden.

I would try Bon Marche.

Roman Originals have some .Have bought quite a few items from them. Think most good clothes shops will stock these,

T K Max is always worth looking in.

Oh, how I wish I could wear velvet/velour, but nowadays I think it just makes me look like a (comfy) armchair!

Next and Bon Marche have them too.

Try Roman Originals. I bought a lovely blue velvet tunic with elbow length sleeves earlier this year. I don’t know whether it is still available.

I didn't see any in our M&S yesterday - but I walked in and it was a sea of clothes, all crammed in, a most unappealing layout.
A store stuffed full of clothes with hardly any customers.


I will look at White Stuff, although I sometimes wonder if their quality is worth the price as I've had a couple of items which have gone into holes.

Bravissimo have their new Winter catalogue out which had several velvet items in it. I've ordered the fitted velvet dress in a steel blue shade. Gorgeous.
M&S has plenty to offer especially in the larger stores.
Google ' velvet tops', that should bring up lots of items or go on eBay.

Saw some lovely jewel coloured ones in White Stuff yesterday - £42, but they have 15% off at the moment

I bought a lovely one from QVC just last week in a beautiful rich purple shade. The brand is Quacker Factory. My kindle camera isn't very good, but here's a photo. It's a much deeper, richer purple than the photo shows, but it gives you some idea.

Marks and Spencer, Boden and Toast all have lovely velvet tops.

try www.joebrowns.co.uk they have lots of lovely velvet things also White Stuff. Velvet is very 'in' this year so you should be spoilt for choice - some of its a bit shiny and static though!

Have you tried M & Co. Debenhams, they have velvet tops. Worth a look I would say - good luck!

There’s a very nice one in Joules in navy or grey.
I think it is actually meant as “loungewear” but loooks smart enough for “out”.
Alternatively look at Sahara - but at a price! They have a lovely red one which I am doing my best to,ignore.

Kitty I bought a very nice velour jacket last year from Cotton traders online. I have just had a look and they do a wine coloured velour top with long sleeves but not a scoop neck, it’s worth you checking out.
