Some nice (expensive) jumpers at me & em. My big challenge is always getting nice shirts, not nice jumpers.

PervCat · 12/10/2013 10:45

is there a BOSOM issue? ( with shirts?)
i just found this at marks

Love the Phase Eight top, but I don't trust jersey an inch in the wash.

Hopefully · 12/10/2013 10:49

What do you wear Morris then? I couldn't cope without all the jersey in my life! I have four Me&Em ruched dresses alone... Blush

PervCat · 12/10/2013 10:52

Pervcat- the Next soft jumpers are worth a shot but go down two sizes and they will still be roomy enough for layering.They come down to mid thigh not as shown on the model.
here

I have two of these and they ate long enough to wear with skinnies. They are warm an they wash well.

PervCat · 12/10/2013 12:12

oh thanks mate!

i like those but fear a v neck will make me look a bit school uniformy.. slash neck maybe better?

OP posts:
SteppedOnaFrog · 12/10/2013 13:01

The v-neck is much broader than it looks online and the cut MUCH slouchier so it won't look like school uniform if that helps. To be honest it looks more like a jumper you would find styled up on Wrap.

Orangeanddemons · 12/10/2013 13:06

Wrap have gorgeous jumpers this season. Not cheap mind....

PervCat · 12/10/2013 13:07

thanks froggo

Agree - just wash jersey on a handwash or wool cycle and all is good. Love jersey (except not printed - yukkus). Btw - Baukjen currently doing buy one get one free on all clearance stock.

MissBeehiving · 12/10/2013 13:31

PervCat · 12/10/2013 13:42

oh gap are just insane with their sizing. good shape, what's the fabric like?

PervCat · 12/10/2013 13:54

deep black - cotton lycra
with those trousers ( the straight ones and the slim cropped) you have to a) wash carefully and not tumble b) accept they shrink length wise after about 6 months and c) give a bit during the day

PervCat · 12/10/2013 13:54
