Longer length dressy jumper

9 replies

I'm fond of the skinny jean look but really have to wear longer tops over them. Looking for a jumper I can wear on slightly dressier occasions that will cover my lumpy bits. All jumpers seem to be either long and chunky, short and chunky or short and fine-knit. Where are these elusive long and fine-knits, please?

Hmmm, yep acrylicy not so good. Needs to be longer length, dressy and warm. The hunt continues...

I want one tooooooo...Seems like Primark are the only ones to do longer length and fine-knit, but they're just not nice enough for formalish occasions.

Can you post a link to the sort of thing you mean (from Primark or wherever) so we can look for a non acrylicy version for you?

I saw some from a distance in Oasis today but I didn't go up close and suspect they would have all been acrylic. Warehouse? Probably viscose or acrylic there too though.

I have just bought a long fine knit cashmere tunic from Wrap-in the sale in shell[pale pink].Its flattering on me [size 14 with a tummy] and a pretty colour.However i'm not sure whether it's very dressy?.

Have you looked in Cos?. Lots of longer knitwear in there. Not sure it's very dressy - but not scruffy either, I am quite tall and the wool dresses in there are quite short on me (and I am breastfeeding at the moment) so I wear them over skinny jeans.

Mint velvet have a lovely jumper called silver grey chiffon sleeve knit- sorry I can't link from my phone. I think its the chiffon sleeves that makes it that bit more dressy than a normal jumper.
