lovely but very pricey

Report

no, too much material in it

looking purely at the photo, it doesn't seem to justify the price

looks more like summat you could buy from BHS

sorry, you did ask

Very nice if you want to look like you're wearing a blanket. An expensive blanket.

M and S did a cardy like that which i wore whilst pregnant. All the extra yardage rapidly became extremely annoying.

No, it's the sort of thing a large loud woman in a provincial arts centre would wear.
Accessorised with short grey hair, ethnic earrings and Clarks shoes.
Oh, and probably a hapless foreigner or two in tow.

Nope - sorry. It looks like one of the 'hand woven by goats' things that Toast often have.

Unless you are very skinny, it will make you look like a small hippo.

£179 for a cardigan?

yes moondog and at 'events' she wears a turban

moondog · 06/09/2009 19:03

Aye.
You know her too do you?

No, and it's acrylic I would go for wool or cashmere.

It's amazing how women love this stuff and men can't bear it isn't it?
(I admit to having irratinoal weakness for seedsack and goat blanket poncho look myself, which i fight!)

Moondog - that is so spot on. Uncanny. She will also have a statement broach to complete the look.

yes her real name is sandra but she calls herself mya

If I'd paid £179 for a cardi I wouldn't be standing in the potting shed wearing it.
