Is this jumper nice or am I swayed by the price?

I have just received this jumper - silk front, pretty colour and good price but is it a bit plain? It looks ok on but nothing special-not sure it would become a classic staple In
my wardrobe -think I am being taken in more by the 70% Off. Thoughts please.

You'd need small firm boobs for that to work... and if you've got those you can find loads of nicer tops. The silk front is a bit weird.
Does batwing now mean 'anything a normal older woman can get her upper arms into' nowadays?ConfusedGrin

I love an oversized jumper (the baggier the better) but that is a boring shape on her. I agree with the comments about needing a decent bra as well. If it looks bad on the model, it won’t look good on an actual person!

So it's a silk front & the rest is knitted?-why?

Looks tight on arms & horrible across the chest so pretty hard to see past that really!

I bought an almost identical top from Jigsaw last year but it went back as it was very unflattering and shapeless. Even though the colour suited me well and I’m tall/slim, it made me look frumpy and feel about 100! Shame as I love their colours.

Verite1 · 18/05/2020 21:16

Awful. And incredibly unflattering

smokescreen · 18/05/2020 21:26

Originally £120?? Shock

mynamesnotsam · 18/05/2020 21:35

It's dreadful. It's only got money off as no one would buy it.

VerbenaGirl · 18/05/2020 21:39

It is very shiny and does remind me of my Grandma.

damnthatanxiety · 18/05/2020 21:56

What's with the square thing protruding from her side?

Highlights12 · 18/05/2020 21:59

No don't like it and what's with the cotton threads hanging from bottom of trousers

Viviennemary · 18/05/2020 22:03

I'm not keen. That colour isn't flattering for most people. Why is it reduced. Truth is it's not that nice.

TheHumansAreDefinitelyDead · 18/05/2020 22:04

Yeah, in sale as no good

It’s unflattering

Eminybob · 18/05/2020 22:06

Go no op! If the model doesn’t look good in it there’s no chance anyone else will

NotStayingIn · 18/05/2020 22:07

What is going on in that second photo. It’s like she’s smuggling something under her top. I just don’t get why they would use such terrible photos. Such a waste of a fab model. No wonder they couldn’t sell it at full price.

SpillTheTeaa · 18/05/2020 22:10

£120?! I wouldn't pay £1.20 for that in a charity shop.
It's very boring

Mnthrowaway20202 · 18/05/2020 22:11

It looks a bit matronly

Lampan · 18/05/2020 22:13

I LOVE a batwing jumper. This isn’t even vaguely like a batwing!! I think it’s a good price but pretty unremarkable. Might look OK tucked into high-waisted jeans but I don’t think it would be any more special than a plain t-shirt really.
If you’re having doubts it’s usually a good indicator you should send it back.

RuffleCrow · 18/05/2020 22:13

They really need to sack/retrain both the photographer and stylist. And the designer. And whoever did the photoshop. Not doing them any favours as a brand.

helpmum2003 · 18/05/2020 22:15

Not good.

MaMaMyCorona · 18/05/2020 22:18

I LOVE the colour and think if styled in a more fashionable way could look amazing (The model is beautiful but she has not been styled in a flattering way in my opinion)

thegreylady · 18/05/2020 22:18

I love it but I am 76. It isn’t batwing at all, I doubt it would wash well and they don’t do my size but for that price, if they did, I would buy it.

user1493494961 · 18/05/2020 22:23

Nice colour.

IdblowJonSnow · 18/05/2020 22:24

I like the colour but that's all.could we see it on you op? What would you wear it with?

styleseeker72 · 18/05/2020 22:47

Beautiful colour, but the silk front is horrible. Would be lovely if it were just a normal jumper!
