Would a jumper designed to be worn either way be useful?

[FaceTheWind81]

Hi all, hoping for a quick sanity check from other parents 😬

Does anyone else find jumpers / tops constantly end up back to front on little ones (especially when they start dressing themselves)?

I was thinking about whether a completely “ambi-directional” jumper (no front/back, so it can be worn either way) would actually be useful, or if this is one of those ideas that sounds good in theory but not in real life. Wondering whether it would save time in the mornings when life is stressful and you need to get your child out of the door without dressing drama!?

Be honest - would you buy something like that, or not bother? And why?
Many thanks! 😊

I never found that jumpers went back to front.

I would and if you could wear it inside out, even better!

Why has nobody thought of this? Great idea! Good luck x

Agree great idea. I have a dress from FatFace which is designed to be worn either way. V neck on way, square neck the other. The label is in the shoulder seam.

I don’t remember ever having this issue although wearing clothes inside out happened occasionally. At that age, a lot of children’s clothes have a picture on the front anyway. I think an ambidirectional jumper would be uncomfortable if the top of it touched the neck, and if you went for a lowered neck all the way round, it might look a bit odd from behind. You would probably get people telling you / your child that they’ve got their jumper on back to front.

Not a bad idea - it would make it easier for little kids to gain independence by getting themselves dressed.

My dad when he had dementia used to struggle with getting jumpers the right way round too, so I can see a market for adults too. Perhaps for the partially sighted, people with LDs etc.

I'd have got one for dad if the price wasn't prohibitive!
