Have you bought anything decent?

I've seen some nice big jumpers but I'm wondering if the sizing may be off or the quality dubious. I'm only looking at things available on prime so hopefully this negates things designed for tiny ladies on the other side of the world that take months to arrive and end up in the bin as returning is such a faff.

I've had some really good things and a few not so good but like you plan to, tend to only order through Prime. I usually only order things with reviews too. I've never ordered big jumpers though cause even though they're Prime, sometimes they're obviously just the same stuff you can order from China and the "long" jumpers come up to my waist!

This is my concern kochicoo. I really want some jumpers that are basically oversized AND long rather than just really wide. Any brands you can say you've been happy with?

I have a one that was under "star print lagenlook" that's v long. Comes up big and is sort of batwing cut. Wearing it today with leggings and biker boots

Watching with interest aa i often wonder the same thing about clothes on there

Ollivander84 · 27/11/2017 13:30

Oh and Krisp clothing is not bad

I've mostly just got vests, long sleeved t-shirts and yoga pant type things from unknown brands but I've had the odd great bargain from last year's stock Vero Moda and Esprit type brands. New Look stuff is often much cheaper if it's old stock too. Sorry I haven't looked for any long jumpers recently but did see good reviews for the star print jumper another poster mentioned above.

Thank you.
Nice dress but I'd never wear it (I'm a scruffy, antisocial bugger). I've bought vero moda, esprit etc via Amazon before as I know the brands but I've never heard of zanzea or krisp (which are 2 I've been looking at).

Zanzea top I ordered was poorly manufactured and strangely proportioned. I also bought a Lagenlook dress from Amazon which was tulip style but the material was almost sheer and it was not a good buy.

I am not going to bother again!

If you search long length tops for women, a few come up. I tend to go for a listing like this one as it has actual measurements, and then check reviews

I've bought some stuff I've really liked, including a dress which took a month to come from China, fit me perfectly and I'm a 22!

My rules are: choose things with plenty of reviews to work out size and quality, and don't spend too much money. Can't go too wrong.
