Can anyone recommend a school blouse for an 11 year old girl that isn't see through? The ones I bought from John Lewis (easy care ones, I think) show her underwear (plain white) pretty clearly which she is understandably not happy about!


I'm thinking 100% cotton would be better (in more ways than just this) but it would be great if anyone has a recommendation.


thanks x

I remember my shirts did the same and I was mortified. If I could go back I?d ask my mum to either buy me flesh coloured bras, or wear a string vest underneath. It can be very hit and miss with white shirts and you could end up spending a fortune buying different ones
I don't think I've seen one that isn't a bit translucent. A plain sleeveless vest would be an option. Being 11, I guess your daughter is going into secondary? Secondary pupils tend to live in their blazers except in extremely hot weather (saves having to carry it around) .

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
