Jumpers for curvy women

29 replies

Branleuse · 10/09/2017 17:27

Im quite curvy. Not particularly big, about a 10/12 clothes size, but ive got big boobs, small waist and big hips. I love big winter jumpers but they all look shit on me and make me look massive. I really feel the cold but I dont want to look like a sack of spuds. Has anyone found any jumpers that are warm and flattering on a pear/hourglass shape?

Im happy to experiment with most styles, but my main styles range from boho/scruffy student to retro glam if im in the mood

I think you have to accept your waist goes unnoticed . Most people don't know I have such a small waist and are quite surprised when I wear something fitted .. anyway I find Joules jumpers quite flattering .

I'm liking this jumper from artigiano. I have one in a plum colour from a few years ago, and it's nicely scooped, fitted, very fine knit and warm. Shame the colour selection isn't really to my taste, but dark grey is better as a neutral on me than black anyway.

I have the same problem - size 10 with DDs -,and think chunky knits have to be avoided, unless you minimize your boobs a bit and go skinny on the bottom half. I'm BFing at the mo and find the H&M Mama vests great. They're double layered at the front and if you size down they minimize your chest and can also give a bit of lift as you can adjust the straps. I find they give you a neater line under jumpers.

Lots of great tips on this thread!

My big tits look shit in jumpers.
That's why I switched to dresses. I have some lovely knitted ones and I can put a thermal vest under.
