To have bought an 'ugly' Christmas cardigan?

Not a jumper as I want to be able to throw it on and off if I get too warm.

I didn't own an official Christmas garment and thought I should have one.

Do you have one?

I bought this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0BG25K2P2 if I hadn't left it till last minute I'dve had more to choose from and would've got something a bit more Jesus-y like https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gonna-Party-Birthday-Jesus-Christmas/dp/B0B77XVGDK

I love an ugly jumper and I love cats. That cardigan is pawesome!

The cat thing is truly hideous and cracking Christmas kitch.

However, you are being unreasonable because this is an ad not a genuine post.

Not at all. Be paranoid if you like, but I don't have an ulterior motive for posting it. People are unlikely to buy it based on my post. It's not like I'm saying it's the best xmas garment ever and everyone must buy. Grin

I've been here quite a while under various incarnations and always posted without any ulterior motive.

Absolutely hideous both of them 🤣🤣🤣

Whattheheckcarer · 21/12/2023 23:14

Or ... cost of living crisis - Santa couldn't afford overtime for the reindeer on Christmas Eve so dropped some off early!

Whattheheckcarer · 21/12/2023 23:14

Wtf - sorry, wrong thread, obviously!

@Whattheheckcarer It's ok, still Christmassy. Smile

The Thing arrived this afternoon. It's shapeless but surprisingly comfy. Smile Trying to think how to wear it to make it look more like something- maybe will add a button or tie at the waist or something. Oh and just discovered it has pockets. Grin When I can think how to make it look like something I'll show it off. Smile If you are a 12 you don't need a large in this garment IMHO. But I like my stuff quite fitted.

I'm glad it's arrived because I wanted to ask if the image was photoshopped or if the pattern is really that clear?

It's ok, I'm not thinking of buying one, I'm just curious as I see a lot of what I think are photoshopped images on clothing websites Xmas Grin

Also, try Primark next year as my friend bought a really tasteful looking Xmas cardigan with little gingerbread men and women on it, and candy canes and shit and it looks really lovely!

Lululopsided · 22/12/2023 11:23

Pin on crap tinsel trim and a big bow, that's sure to piss off those christmas cats even more😂

dressedforcomfort · 22/12/2023 12:42

It's so bad, it's good. 😂 At least you'll give folks a few lols, OP. Merry Christmas!

testedorgan · 22/12/2023 16:04

That Christmas cat cardigan is so hideous and I love it.

icallitasplodge · 22/12/2023 16:50

Second ones better, I’d buy that!

Hi all,

The top is not at all flattering, but here's a pic so you can see the intensity of the cats.

Have a great day xx

@porridgeisbae you look great! I honestly might get one myself. Love your hair! Merry Christmas!

Left · 25/12/2023 22:19

Amazing!! If it was a dress I’d buy it - thanks OP!

Lougle · 25/12/2023 22:29

@porridgeisbae you may have unwittingly started a trend, because it's unavailable now. It looks very snuggly.

@Left if you can tolerate a very short dress you could make it into a dress- or you could add a bit of something on the bottom.

@Lougle Oooh. I'm sure it'll be back. Grin

Hope you've all had a good'un.

I love it. Hope you had a wonderful day in your Christmas cardie!

SammyScrounge · 26/12/2023 03:09

@porridgeisbae I bought the same one as you after I read your post. It was for my daughter who is crazy about.cats. She laughed her head off and wore it with pride to her Xmas dinner. So thanks for the recommendation!
Merry Christmas!

@SammyScrounge Lol watch out, you'll be encouraging the paranoiacs who think I'm a spammer. :)

Glad she liked it. The more people go all out, the better.

My sis said she saw a woman in a sprout-patterned suit the other day.

Best. Cardigan. Ever.

and now it’s out of stock.
shame on you @porridgeisbae for possibly taking the last one! 😞

mottytotty · 26/12/2023 13:50

I love it, OP! 😍

And you look so delightfully proud to be wearing it!
