Toast jumper - shapeless or slouchy?

[latrucha]

I have a fantasy of a favourite jumper to wear with jeans. It's charcoal grey (v good colour on me), slash necked, possible with big ribbed cuff and hem. It's relaxed but stylish.

Is this it, or is it just going to be big and shapeless?

I've got biggish boobs and am carry exactly 7kilos more weight than I would like. There's a pic of me on profile, if it helps.

I can't afford it anyway. Feel free to disabuse me.

Think you'd have to be quite thin to wear this. Thinner than me, anyway.

Mmm, biggish boobs generally don't go well with plain jumpers. I always feel like a potato in mine You could always wear something round your neck ? scarf to draw attention away from the bust area and break up the expanse of jumperishness.

hiddenhome - I'm not sure I want to spend £100 on something and then have to draw attention away from it!

UnSerpentQuiCort - hmm. You may be right.

Thanks for making me feel good about not buying it.

with biggish boobs you need to rethink your dream jumper to be a v-neck...

Got the message.

Nooooo. Don't listen to this "Big boobs must be put into V-necks": it's twaddle. It depends on lots of other factors. You look small of proportion, especially across the shoulders, and I think you'd be fine.

but ... it is pretty pricey for a jersey. Have a google of Jess Cartner-Morney's article in the Guardian weekend magazine this Saturday. It's about crew neck jerseys and has a selection of nice ones to go with it.

It's lovely. It's toast so it'll be pricey, (I dream of buying toast) but it's lovely.

Oh have a look at Hush - some of the clothes remind me of Toast, but it's much cheaper

I'm hankering after that jumper too Latrucha
It's got a wide, sloppy, boat neck, so I think it'll be fine with our big boobs...
I'm asking for it for Xmas...

I a lusting after Hush pyjamas but will have to wait until my bank balance recovers from Christmas shopping.

A friend has offered to buy me a jumper for Christmas and I suggested this which I think is quite nice but not dreamy. I think it's too cheeky to suggest the Toast one, but she suggested I look at Brora so maybe it's not. ?? No...., it is, isn't it?

well no harm in asking I guess...
Or you could say.... I really love this, but it's ridiculously expensive [hint hint] i'll have a look and see if I can find something similar

I have that jumper. It's so lovely I want to get another colour in the sale.
Send a hint. Get it, get it.

I haven't seen your profile but i think it's quite flattering. On me anyway!

Seen your pic. You'd look fab in it. Honest.

Oooo I might you know. Thankyou!

I have bought her a nice presents Thoughtful, if cheaper

I have that jumper in the pink. I love, love, love it. It isn't at all unflattering, and I'm big in the nork department. The quality is great (you can't see in pictures, but the wool is very slightly marled with a subtly different shade of pink), it's really soft and light. I would say, yes, expensive, but on a cost per wear basis it's already down to about £2.50.

I have asked and am now a bit . She's going to have a look.

Oh god,..following those recommendations I want it even more...
Dh had better get my hints.
fingers crossed you friend loves it too latrucha and has deep pockets
