Where are the nice v neck jumpers?

Having a good set off boobs on a size 14 body, I really prefer a v neck over crew neck, but I have struggled for years to find nice quality jumpers with a good v neck.

Would love for you to share your finds and inspire me?

I’ve just bought a lovely merino one from Costco! Only about £15 I think. Not many colours but I got black.
I buy quite a lot from Costco. Great for quality basics v cheap.

I'm sorry about your wrists, @hannonle. It's a bummer when you have to stop doing things. I'm currently trying to work out how to make jewellery with the thousands of very tiny gemstones I still have, now I can't work tiny loops or even keep my hands steady 😬

There was a thread looking for good V-neck fair isle jumpers just before Christmas. The consensus was that they're only made for men! With jumpers that's not a real issue, but men's V-necks tend to be quite shallow. We found, I think, once nice one at Ralph Lauren - £200 and almost out of stock. Still, if the aim is to get your head through rather than to flatter a cleavage, the men's sections are the way to go.

I got a lovely Roman one from matalan this week.

Agree that most of the necklines out there at the moment are really unflattering for those of us with boobs

Thank you for this suggestion @PotatoBreadForTheWin - I went to Roman yesterday and got the Navy V Neck - it’s lovely!

@Garlicnorth I'm sorry that you are having difficulty with your hands too. It's sounds like very tiny pieces that you are working with.

I don't have any advice, but would urge you to look after your hands as a priority so you don't speed up the deterioration.

I know a few creative types who are struggling for sales at fares etc and they are looking at doing workshops and offering experience days/classes. The lady who does glasswork pendants is finding it works better for her. Perhaps instead of making pieces to sell, you can look at an experience day. They do the work for you and your hands get a rest.

My Roman jumper just arrived lovely deep V and slightly ballooned sleeves/ cuffs which are really nice.
I'm going to order some more colours.

Only thing I hate is when they sew a label on the back of the neck, so scratchy and it's hard to cut out without making a hole! I am a bit funny about labels though so probably not an issue for anyone else.

Very pleased with the next v neck
It somehow manages to show I still have a waist which is unusual in jumpers!

Very nice @fivebyfivebuffy

Just wanted to say I ordered the Roman jumper mentioned upthread and it's great. However I ordered a few and returned the magenta as the colour wasn't quite right for me, and they take a £3 restocking fee. Granted, this is mentioned on their returns page, but I certainly wasn't expecting it as it's nit something you usually see with online shopping.
