FRUMPY - it's the thickness of the lines of the knit I think

mirpuppet · 25/09/2012 20:34

Depends on how styled

Be great if you were 56 and going
To a corporate cocktail 'do' . And it was 1984

Mmmm... At first glance I thought it would maybe kinda be okay on a v slim smaller norked lady until I did the close up on the knit. In real life on a real person I suspect it would probably be all sorts of wrong. Sorry.

Its probably the chunkiness i like! Have so many fine knits. Would wear with black skinnies and heeled boots and tight black t shirt Prob need to go and try it rather than buy online.

It looks like something Krystal Carrington would've worn in Dynasty!

dexter73 · 25/09/2012 20:53
