Ponchos

[MrsFogi]

Has anyone seen any very smart/dressy ones (i.e. not big chunky knit affairs)in the shops - I'm thinking of getting one instead of a shawl to put over my dress at a wedding. + Any vies on whether a poncho will look ok with a smart dress and big hat?

ive seen some with a polo neck which are quite fetching

Oh dear... I've come over all faint...

I used to have a red poncho with white pompoms on it. I think I was 9.

It has arms but has the hiding wobbly bits thing at the front and back - does that make sense? I think it is going to irritate me to be honest as it is like a jumper but if you lift your arms any higher than your hips then the whole thing comes up - you definitely need something underneath! a thin polo neck would be good maybe?

just checked out their website but it wasn't there - must be too good.

i wasnt sure about getting one think there about to become the next ra-ra skirt iiygwim
i was pleased with myself as a kid for avoiding these
i like ponchos though- but if i get one its gonna have to be a corker!

codswallop- heres a link to some 'non holy' (agnostic maybe?)ponchos joke!
a bit pricey but alpaca is special its soft and very warm-here

i like the black crochet one bet on there though
im now going on a mad online poncho hunt.......

sorry cant get link to work!

posh ponch for wedding here

Thanks for all the replies - maybe I'll rethink the poncho idea!

Can I admit to having the Per Una one in pink!

It's holey but not wooley!

Don't think I would wear it to a wedding though, nice with jeans and a strappy top.
