The collection is available online, so she could look at their clothes before going to a store.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-to-help-someone-with-sweaters#post-1666110 Tue, 24 May 2016 09:55:32 +0000 Helenedith 1666110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Anne, have you checked out David Lawrence ? They have some really nice jumpers with a higher neckline </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-to-help-someone-with-sweaters#post-1666086 Tue, 24 May 2016 08:27:45 +0000 anne 1666086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks&nbsp;Lucy - yes that is a lovely blue. I'm not sure that she'll like the V-neck, but I'll definitely forward it to her. I don't think it has to be a solid - I'll see what she thinks of stripes.</p> <p>BTW I was in Brissie last week - certainly still pretty warm! </p> Brooklyn - she has looked at sportsgirl - not sure if she'd been to sportscraft. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-to-help-someone-with-sweaters#post-1666076 Tue, 24 May 2016 07:10:23 +0000 Brooklyn 1666076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first thought was sportscraft. But have you looked at sportsgirl? Lots of colour there. But their jumpers do tend to be lightweight cotton or cotton mixes, not wool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-to-help-someone-with-sweaters#post-1666071 Tue, 24 May 2016 06:53:03 +0000 Lucy 1666071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a really nice Jag cotton knit from a couple of years ago, so I wondered if they had anything. This is nice, a beautiful colour:&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.jag.com.au/merino-v-neck-knit-9332767723085.html#start=13">http://www.jag.com.au/merino-v.....l#start=13</a></p> <p>Does it have to be a solid? I really like this:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.myer.com.au/shop/mystore/tommy-hilfiger--1/dani-stp-boat-nk-swtr-402177610">http://www.myer.com.au/shop/my.....-402177610</a></p> <p>Lol - seems I'm missing jumpers, not much call for them in Brissie!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-to-help-someone-with-sweaters#post-1666062 Tue, 24 May 2016 05:55:08 +0000 anne 1666062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, specifically, my mum.</p> <p>Mum has been looking all over for a pullover sweater (or jumper as we call them here in Australia). Her requirements are</p> <p>-to wear with flat front dark blue&nbsp;cord trousers for a slightly dressy look (smart casual, I suppose). Reasonable quality.</p> <p>- not cropped but not tunic like</p> <p>- refined look (no cables or big knits)</p> <p>- <b>NOT black, grey or white. She'd like somewhere in the red and blue range</b></p> <p>Mum is similar size to me, but a bit more rectangular in body type. Like me she has olive skin, but is a brunette.</p> <p>Mum could go for higher end shops than I do (eg Yarra Trail, Country Road, Sportscraft, Picnic) if necessary.</p> <p>She has checked out almost everwhere I have thought of already. I don't think she's keen on buying online, but might consider it.</p> <p>I was stumped, because I've been coming up with some of the same issues as her with my own sweater search and like her, was contemplating just giving up for this year.</p> <p>But I thought I'd ask you guys first!</p> <p></p> </p>
