Jumper with the arms kind of attached…hard to explain

[ElReverendoGreen]

I was chatting to a lady at a conference the week before last.

She looked very smart. She was wearing a shirt with a black jumper over the top. But the arms of the jumper weren’t defined like a normal jumper, they were kind of lower and sort of attached. Very hard to explain but the result was kind of half jumper half cape (but nicer and more normal looking than that sounds!!)

The neckline was kind of straight across.

Does anybody know the type of thing I’m talking about??

Batwing?

Was it like a twist front?

Sounds like batwing to me

Batwing?

Like this?

like Jaki London draped sweaters?

No, not like that. So no, not batwing.

the sleeves are straight and tight to the arm like a regular jumper. 3/4 length sleeve.

But instead of the sleeves being separate from the body of the jumper from armpit height, it is much lower, probably around elbow height. So because they are 3/4 length sleeve, there is very little actual “sleeve”.

maybe thr arms just pop out thre jumper at elbow height and there are no actual “sleeves”?

does that make any more sense?

Yes!!!

I think you could be right!

thank you. I have never heard of jaki London before so I would never have found this on my own…thank you!

Pics attached of the kind of thing I mean.

Now to have a look at the prices….

Ok, so next question…anyone know any similar options which are a bit cheaper? £96 is a bit steep for me!

@ElReverendoGreen try searching for images of a sweater scarf. There are some that seem to match your description but others that are slightly different. Good luck.

Batwing sleeves tend to have tighter arms than the Zara sweater - more like the Jake London jumper .

I think these are known as dolman sleeves - if you search that a few similar (cheaper!) options come
up. Good luck!

Try searching for the jaki London ones on Vinted maybe?

they are very pretty!

Brilliant, thank you

Having a look now, thanks all!

Thanks, I had a look, but still expensive.

If I have to pay a lot I’d rather buy new so I can return if not suitable.

My son bought me one for my birthday last year, loved it. Then I found some on Roman Clothing. They're so warm to wear.

They are very flattering, but seems like a lot for viscose.
