Winter clothes

I looked round several different shops this afternoon, to try and buy a couple of warm winter jumpers.
Could I find any - could I 'eck.

Many look nice and thick, but when I actually felt them they were as thin as tissue paper, and if I held them up to the light you could see straight through the pattern.

They were pretty enough, but I don't want fashion, I wanted something to keep me warm!

And what about nighties?
My arms get cold in the winter with little short sleeved nighties, but try and find a long sleeve that hasn't got half the front missing in a low neckline is practically impossible.
So to keep your arms warm, your chest freezes instead!

Maybe it's because there is only me in the bed that I feel cold in winter, maybe if there are two of you, you don't have this problem? But I can't sleep if I am cold.

Seems like I will just have to keep looking.

I buy PJ's in the supermarkets, they do nice fleecy ones for Winter. Don't like nighties they ride up & I end with a bare bum. Fleece jumpers are warm too. I have several. I buy men's as they are longer in the body length.

Re: Winter clothes

Yes, I used to have quite a few fleecy jumpers and body warmers Tiff. I daren't buy men's though as if they are very long I'd have to tuck 'em in me socks.

Re: Winter clothes

I usually wear those fluffy jumpers, I find them very warm. Never wear anything to bed, I get those hot flushes.
Good luck with finding something suitable Mupsy. I don't know your taste in clothes, so I cannot link.

Re: Winter clothes

You can try them on first though, not all are that long.

Re: Winter clothes

Thanks Sweetie, but don't worry about a link, I'll have a wander around M & S another day, see what they've got.

Re: Winter clothes

I know, I'm only joking.

The suipermarkets have loads of jumpers as you say, but I am finding they all look nice and thick, but when you feel them they are not at all thick.

Everything I see seems to be made of Acrylic blends.

Perhaps I'll have to take up knitting.

Re: Winter clothes

There's a lady in Tavistock who makes really nice tunic type tops for women. I have bought several from her. Shame you live too far away, Mups.

Re: Winter clothes

This one of the reasons I like to make our clothes and knit our jumpers, I can do exactly what we actually want and not be buying stuff out of season just because they like to get stuff out of the shops quickly. Was wearing a beautiful purple cowl neck jumper earlier I made about ten years ago, they even last longer than shop bought and can be unpicked and remade into something else if we get fed up with them.

Re: Winter clothes

They have sales stuff already. X
Have you ever looked online at Everything for five pounds?
I have bought from that site and I was delighted.
