LAS in LA Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Ok, ladies. I enjoy the denim jumper joke as much as anyone, but I think we're ready to take things to the next level. Let's reinvent the jumper. Claim the heritage while radically redefining it's meaning for the 2010s. Post the photos of your creation to this thread by, say, the end of the summer. Vive le jumper!

Cinder Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) Well, Laura, those are cool jumpers. But I think she meant American jumpers which are a style of dress. Not usually as good looking as the one in the link. More Amish-y looking. ETA: something like this one, though on the model it looks kind of cute. The "classic" denim jumper has a fuller skirt. Still looking for a picture. ETA2: like this one Edited March 15, 2012 by Cinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think she meant American jumpers[/url] But I came across those pictures and they were so .... extraordinary I thought I'd post them. I think we call American jumpers pinafore dresses.

LAS in LA Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 BTW, the only denim jumper I recall wearing was a cute, knee-length, thin-strap number when I was 19. But surely we can put our creativity to work here and invent some fabulous jumpers. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Ha ha, well, silly me. :rolleyes: Pinafore dress sounds a bit fancy for what they are, though. OTOH maybe if we all called them pinafore dresses they'd get more respect. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belacqua Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 And I am now completely infatuated with Laura's website suggestion. I've already learned tips for choosing body armor, what kind of hat my driver should wear to a funeral, and that all reflective tape is not the same. Seriously, it's quite compelling! All I can add to the jumper issue is that a pinafore definitely sounds as if it should have a ruffle on it somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astrid Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Silly me.... I saw the title and thought this was about either a) horses (hunter/jumpers) or b) dog agility astrid (who knits up a storm but doesn't care to sew) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can add to the jumper issue is that a pinafore definitely sounds as if it should have a ruffle on it somewhere. I love that you can buy body armor and funeral wear from the same supplier, you know, 'cause the same buying population is likely to need both types of items. And Laura's suggested jumper is extraordinary. Did you people not read the description? It is a security jumper; it has a double pen pocket and epaulettes. Those aren't features you're getting in your run-of-the-mill homeschool mom denim jumper. I'm off to shop for body armor... Terri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haiku Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I once saw a shirt that said, "Hangin' with my homeschool peeps," and it had marshmallow peeps in denim jumpers. I didn't buy it. I should have. Tara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYoungerMrsWarde Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 :lol::lol: I'm trying to re-learn how to sew on a machine. Does it HAVE to look like a jumper, or can it just be a denim dress with wide shoulder straps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lara in Colo Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I guess I'm just as bad as a jumper wearing mom, I wear scrubs! They don't show stains, I can gain or lose 5 lbs (or 10 :D) and they still fit, I can wear a short or long sleeved shirt under them, They have pockets for all sorts of things, they make my fat shape less obvious. Yes, scrubs: the new jumper (and I can get cool ones) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
