Thinnish, long, cheapish, feminine jumper (not "boyfriend")

Anyone seen one? Pref with a low neckline. I have a very nice v-neck one that you have to wear a little top underneath, something like that would be great.

It could be called boyfriend, but I don't want it to look like anything my boyfriend could plausibly wear.

Do you want a serious relationship with it?

No, a fling with a cheap New Look one would be fine (except they don't have any).

Yeah, I've done that before...

This one looks pretty if it wasn't petite - why can't they make things in all sizes?

Can you link? I can't see one called 'boyfriend' at M&S.

This might be nice but I'm not sure about the weirdy pockets.

Brora have a lovely one but it is £££. Mind you their sale starts in about a week!

TrillianAstra · 03/01/2010 20:35

Eeek, that is £££! Looks lovely but even at half price that's way too much for me.

M&S was a good idea astra, think maybe I should go physically into the shop and have a look.

Oooh, that looks very very nice, what does mini price mean?

Feenie · 04/01/2010 16:48

No idea! Think it's a brand name maybe.

jennylindinha · 04/01/2010 16:54

The M&S one is here but they have more colours in store. I have that one but can second the La Redoute one - I have it in both black and purple as it's fab! Goes with jeans or leggings.

I can see you all have it in purple - there's now a 9 week wait!!!

It'll still be jumper weather in March, right? March!

The M&S one linked looks nice but only comes in black or grey, and I want the purple la redoute one now...

OP posts:
jennylindinha · 04/01/2010 16:59

Oh dear... Well, I'd say it was worth the wait and I'm sure it'll be cold enough in March. I'm wearing it as we speak with a long-sleeved top under it cos it's so cold in the office!

AnyFucker · 04/01/2010 17:08

that Brora one still shows a camel toe

TrillianAstra · 04/01/2010 21:19

Thanks AF, that's a good reason not to buy the expensive one, because I will of course have to wear the camel toe jeans with it

I've ordered the la redoute purple one, it'll be a nice surprise present to myself if/when it turns up

Dororthy Perkins is usually good for this sort of thing - good selection of colours

LibrasBiscuitsOfFortune · 05/01/2010 17:36

Bargianous and great for layering and at this price I have bought 2.

If you go in store they also have a cream/white stripe version.

LibrasBiscuitsOfFortune · 05/01/2010 17:37

I have the Redoute one in purple as one, makes me look like I have a cleavage.

Original poster
TrillianAstra · 06/01/2010 12:51

La Redoute cancelled my order, I really wanted it (esp now Libras says it gives cleavage )

Don't think I could fit the fatface one, it's only available in a 6 now!
