I really love this sweater but can in no way justify the cost - PLEASE come and be rude about it and put me off!

Here it is

I keep drooling over it - not sure why I like it so much, I just do - even DH said "coo, she's - er, I mean that's nice"

But ONE HUNDRED AND TEN SMACKERS!

It wouldn't fit under a coat.

Right - Just think, everytime your DH looks at you in that sweater he will really be imagining the model from the picture! Do you really want that?

youd get makeup on the collar and your wrists will get cold cos its short lengthed........any mark would show up on it and you could only wear smart tops under

It is a bit middle aged tbh.

I HATE the sleeves. I don't mind 3/4 length on tight tops, but when they are flared like that they just get in the way. And if you have short arms like me they are always too long. I wouldn't wear that colour either.

if you have big norks it's going to make them look even bigger, if you have small norks, it's going to make them tiny
Is that what you mean?

It won't cover your tummy or your bum. What about fat days?

it may make you look a little chunky and for that price i'd personally want more cashmere and less wool

Looks a bit matronly to me.

OMG thats horrid, you'll get drafts up the sleeves, chills on your tummy and the neck will really annoy you!

Did that put you off it enough then?

You have to have it done up all the time, that would annoy me.

I got one reeeally similar from Primark. Well ok not the angora bit but the style. For £8.

It won't keep you warm - it doesn't button all the way! You'd forever be pulling it closed at the bottom

it.is.ugly!

what a horrible, boring colour.

would make penelope cruz look washed out.

it makes the model look frumpy.

AND it's a bloody rip off.

looks like something my nan used to wear, think she knitted it herself

It's IVORY! How old are your sprogs?It would last approx 5 mins in my house.It is fab though.Maybe in different colour!

It'll never keep your belly warm...

Blimey you lot are vicious!

Right, bearing in mind your previous comments, and noting the prices of the following, do you genuinely hate either or both of these:

Contender number 1

Contender number 2

I'm not keen on those 3/4 length sleeves either - I always feel like I'm wearing children's clothes when I wear sleeves like that. And that high neck would bug me (and not be good for anyone of more ample norks than that model). And the colour! You just know you would splat spag bol or some other "this will never come out and there will always be a faint orangey stain" foodstuff on it - bad enough when the item in question has cost £30...devastating if it's £110.

Have I put you off yet?

Its got a neck like an old-fashioned diving suit, and then it gapes down the front.

Oooh, we have more knitwear to peruse. My comments relate to original knitwear

are you thin? If not, I wouldn't go for either tbh

So its £55 per button!

no. 1 is okay, but they're all going to add a lot of weight.

genuinely? I don't like that style with thye big buttons at the top anyway
