Have tried Boden (too thin or too boxy - wtf is it with their boxy shapes?), M&S (v cheap and horrible fabric or too, erm, wrong), Gap (too thin again, already bobbly in shop, or too long). New Look shed bits all over the bedroom floor Hmm, Barbour way too chunky.

I just want one nice warm jumper, preferably dark blue or navy. I have worked hard to get from a size 18 to an 8 so want something to show off my new slimline figure (so not boxy, baggy, or too long). Have wide shoulders and narrow hips so textured or chunky knits just look wrong. Something ribbed fitted and stretchy would be perfect but I can't find anything!

Has anyone found such an item? Am despairing of ever finding something that's just right, surely this shouldn't be so hard?!

I've had nice knitwear from www.woolovers.com/?gclid=CJy918CduboCFSLHtAodwWQAmQ

They have loads of styles and they actually give you the dimensions of the garment too which i find useful.

Also meant to suggest Uniqlo. Have had some good pieces from there too.

Thank you Deux I really like some of the WoolOver ones, particularly the cashmere and merino ones. Will give them a try thanks!

I am a recent Uniqlo convert. They are fab! Well done on the weight loss btw!

Thank you on both counts MumbleBag, I will take a look at Uniqlo as well.

Uniqlo had some gorgeous jerseys in (IIRC £14 ish) I loved the dark grey .

Unfortunately DD was with me being Hmm so I couldn't have a good browse.
