It's a bra-jacket obviously, what a silly question!

I have them in several colours.

She'll not feel the benefit, AND feel the benefit.

YES!

God I've been stumbling over saying 'bra-jacket for months. 'Dh I'm wearing my bra-jacket to the meal this evening, are you wearing your matching polo-vest?' type thing.

It just doesn't roll off the tongue easily though. Bracket is far better!

scoobiedoozie · 25/09/2024 11:02

It's a breastfeeding top for when you'll be going off the right side. You wear the leftie version on other days. Obvs.

Applepearandginger · 25/09/2024 11:07

Sorry to be a killjoy but please don't buy stuff from that awful company, it's such an ethical nightmare on so many fronts

Crumpleton · 25/09/2024 11:11

An item of clothing for when you're not sure what the weather's doing.

BruceAndNosh · 25/09/2024 11:13

It's for sunny days with a brisk wind. Left side enjoys the warm westerly sun, right side protected from cool easterly breeze.
You need an opposite one for the return walk

roughride24 · 25/09/2024 11:13

I find it perfect for when only my right hand side is cold.

I have the matching jeans. Half thong, half full leg.

Wouldn't a half full leg be a short legGrin

LlynTegid · 25/09/2024 11:15

Agree about not buying from the company.

I have long been convinced some so-called fashion items are someone having a practical joke.

or a silly point!

GalaticalFarce · 25/09/2024 11:16

I'm afraid I would do a double take if I saw someone wearing that in the street.
It's hideous and hysterical.

LissaGa · 25/09/2024 11:20

It's disposable fashion for young people who only wear something once before binning it. I work with a woman who wears similar 'shocking' styles on nights out. All her clothes are revealing in some way. She has a slender physique but (in my old lady eyes) less is more.

Also don't buy from Shein, ladies, all the scandal about the company is true.

MissSkegness1951 · 25/09/2024 11:22

It a holiday restaurant jacket when you're sat at a table where's there's a draught blowing from one side.

ThereTheyGo · 25/09/2024 12:16

It's for giving someone the cold shoulder of course.

Twoshoesnewshoes · 25/09/2024 12:17

A bracket or a jar?
I quite like it.
