It's a lightweight jumper which I like the look of. Has anyone bought from Amazon or knows of a similar style jumper that I can buy?
Thanks

Lots of similar ones in Mint Velvet. This one for example: www.mintvelvet.co.uk/product/silver-grey-sheer-panel-knit/11479

I have had a few things, yes. Zanzea is one of the bigger sellers and I’d always just go with caution. If you can afford the gamble then give it a go. Returns are almost always not cost effective. Having said that I’ve had some bargains; an evening dress from
Muisol on amazon which is still one of the best bargains I’ve ever had; it is amazing!

I wear a LOT of thin sweaters, mostly with a vest top underneath too. I like them loose. I’ve had a couple from John Lewis which were ‘okay’ but I’ve found that all lightweight sweaters tend to bobble to some degree or other so I tend to buy cheaper ones and replace; primark is my go-to for these, they are £7 each.

Non-bobbling wise I also absolutely love H&Ms open weave light sweaters. They have a wider neck or V neck and wear very well. They change the colours every year. I’ve got about 6 of these Blush m2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.0532578010.html

I buy lots of zanzea stuff on e bay and usually it's been ok, had a few rotters though. On amazon I bought these which are great, a sort of knitted jersey that doesnt crease, washes well and handgs loosely, I wanted exactly that, a loose baggy off the shoulder casual top to wear with jeans and this fulfils it. have 3 Blush

I don't have that particular one but I have purchased a vast amount of things from Zanzea. Personal and work related stuff - I work in costuming/wardrobe a lot. Never had any problems and been using on and off for several years now.

Thanks all.
I think I'll give it a go and see how it turns out. I'm now tempted by the other suggestions too though!!

my advice is read the reviews, they are not that great for the particular top you are looking at.
