To think that jumpers are too short these days?

Granted they make shrink in the dryer a bit (although they don't get tighter so not really getting DH's argument over that) and my boobs are not bigger so why is it so hard to find a jumper which properly covers my torso? Hmm

I never used to have this problem in my younger days Confused

The fashionable silhouette has shifted to shorter/tighter top, longer/more voluminous bottom half. That replaces the long reign of skinny jeans and loose longer tops. The change is great for people like me who have long legs and short torsos but may not work so well for you if you're the opposite. I'd sympathize, but I've spent a decade or so enduring endless baggy tops and constricting drainpipe bottoms in the shops so I'm too busy relishing the change.

I have short legs and a short torso and I find them way too short!

Everything is too short! I usually end up buying massive sizes to compensate.

I’m currently sporting a size 22 top from Next because my actual size (14) is so short it looks ridiculous. I’d say even the 22 is slightly on the short side.

I've been thinking this same exact thing, I can't find a normal length jumper anywhere! It drives me mad cause since end of last year I've been on the look out for nice jumpers and I just can't find one anywhere

New Look are terrible for this. Jumpers and tops that are too short at the front.

Totally - I want to cover the camel not highlight it!
