Pretty Christmas jumper/cardigan

[Poppins2016]

I love this Christmas jumper from Jojo Maman Bebe but I'm not pregnant! (I have actually been in and tried it on, but it's not fitted enough for my style).

I don't wear jeans/trousers/leggings, so I like reasonably fitted jumpers/cardigans as they look better with a skirt.

I'd like a pretty fair isle or 'novelty' style jumper. In the past I've liked the look of Cath Kidston Christmas jumpers but they've never had my size (8-10/S) in stock at the time I was looking.

Any ideas? I've looked at (what I think) are the 'obvious' (or my usual) high street choices so I need inspiration, please!

Budget is probably up to £60ish if I love it, I'm not really into fast fashion and would like something I can wear year after year.

... oh and I've considered jumper dresses but I'm currently breastfeeding so they're completely impractical!

That looks like something from seasalt or white stuff. Have you looked there?

What about looking in a kids section? I’m sure it’ll be easier to find something similar. I think a girls size 14 is probably an 8-10.

Was looking at Museum Selection which is about twice your budget, but this one from White Stuff is allegedly available in an 8?

I saw someone trying on this in Apricot it was gorgeous on. www.apricotonline.co.uk/catalog/product/view/id/41676/s/fairisle-jumper-grey-kp730525/?___store=default

I saw this in Matalan and it was actually really lovely www.matalan.co.uk/product/detail/s2853729_c333/christmas-robin-fair-isle-jumper-red

Also this one! www.matalan.co.uk/product/detail/s2871966_c323/pink-heart-fair-isle-jumper-pink

Teal robins from Palava? It’s a bit over budget but it looks like they’ve still got a 20% off on.

Actually it’s 35% off not 20%, but that jumper isn’t included in the offer, sorry

I know you didn't ask for a dress but I've got last year's Brakeburn fair isle dress and I love it

This is the jumper version

If anyone does see a Christmas cardigan I'd love a link! (I'm breastfeeding a newborn this year and also too fat for my previous Christmas jumpers )

@SomethingBeginningWithX

For cardigans, try these (I'm tempted by the first link):

Ro Rox Boutique

Joe Browns

I've come to the conclusion that I am incredibly (unreasonably) fussy... I also have champagne taste but a prosecco budget! I've found some beautiful fair isle wool jumpers for about triple my budget (not that they're "Christmassy" but they're still gorgeous).

I've looked at Brakeburn/White Stuff/Fat Face/Monsoon/Next/Tu/Woolovers/Cath Kidston/Boden, plus the links in the posts above...

I think the easiest way to describe what I'm looking for is pretty/novelty/traditional/Christmassy all in one.

I've attached a couple of images for further inspiration... (both of these are out of stock otherwise I'd have ordered to try on).

How about this one from Next?

Or Dunnes? I know these are Irish websites but you have Dunnes in the UK too afaik.

I like that white stuff one.

Joanie Clothing has some cute ones too and an offer on still today.

I get so hot running around on Xmas day I tend to Go for a tunic style Joe brown did have some

I just saw this on Instagram and thought of you @Poppins2016

Fat Face might be worth a look - a few jumpers look possibles. Also Woolovers.

Arabella & Addison, a TK Maxx brand used to have rather good Christmas jumpers. They don’t seem to exist now, but it’s worth looking on EBay.

Thanks for all the suggestions, do keep them coming!

I'm still on the lookout for the perfect jumper... in the meantime I've bought a Cath Kidston Christmas jumper from eBay (first time buying on eBay but very pleased with the fit and condition!), however it's not the Fair Isle style of my dreams so I'm still on the lookout (for the impossible?)!
