Help me choose a Sweet Pea top

I have a credit at Bluefly and thought I'd use it to get a couple of Sweet Pea tops for spring.

My parameters are that I'd like it to be 3/4 sleeve and a cool color (cool as in "not warm" not as in "really awesome").

Which of these do you like? Opinions welcome!

This isn't 3/4 sleeved, but it might work anyway:

And this would be a great way to get a casual wrap dress for a good price:

I like the 5th 1 and love the 6th 1. Very shallow decision making i just like the colours/ patterns! x

Ooh, I love the dress. However, I've tried on their dresses. While they are very slimming (in usual sweet pea fashion), they are sheer (in usual sweet pea fashion) so you will definetly need a full slip or risk flashing people.

The kimono I'm not so crazy about... again, because of the sheerness factor. Although it may work wonderfully over crisp white jeans!!

My favorite patterns are the two dresses; if either was in a shirt I'd be tempted. Of the two patterned top, I think I like the aqua scoop neck the best.

What do you think of this one?

It's cool colors, and has the wrap like the dress.

Shiny thats my fave of the pack! The wrap is very flattering on a all body types and I like the black/blue mix.

I like that one, Shiny! Maybe that is the perfect middle ground between the wrap dresses and tops. How did I miss it?

Your point about the wrap dress being potentially too sheer is a good one. I have a tunic from them that they call a dress and I call a tunic, because I have to wear leggings under it or feel completely naked.

Okay, I'm going ahead and ordering the top that Shiny found! Finally we have a new camera so I'll post when it arrives. Thanks everyone

I really like the one Shiny posted. Before I saw that, my vote was for the geo mod dress. It seems to reflect your (and my!) style the most.

Oh no, it only comes in M! Did that JUST happen or was that always the case? I could have sworn it was available in S!

Do you ever feel like lurkers are swiping things from under your nose or am I paranoid??

Laura, have you ever tried on a SP top? Because I take a medium in them. Even if I didn't have a big chest, I would probably still take a medium because I found the small too clingy.

Oh no Laura, I thought I saw it in a small as well. You could always give it a little time and see if someone takes it out of their basket

I like the second one and if I didn't have bust issues with SP I was considering it as well. The last one is a nice shape as well.

Laura, Maya is right, SP runs a whole size small, I need a S ( they don't even come in XS).

I love the light blue one shiny linked too, and here;s the same style in a different pattern, I actually have ( and love) this one:

Hi everyone!

I am definitely a S in Sweet Pea. Otherwise the shoulders and neckline get too big on me.

Tanya, I love yours! But again it's only in M. Bummer ...

Maya, now that mod dress has become "unavailable."

I am really getting paranoid!!

Laura, SmartBargains also has a selection of discounted SP tops:

I especially like this one in aqua, and it does come in S:

I like the first one -- the floral in blue. It has a mod 60s vibe that you could build on and I think would suit you. I also like the dress.

I love the dress that you first posted, also the one Shiny posted and the last one, although that one looks a bit on the warm side. I take a small in sweet pea and am sometimes extra small in other tops. They are pretty stretchy. They also may not be consistent in size so maybe a M would fit.
