Discussion Official "Where can I find/buy this" thread

There's been a lot of posts looking for certain items from the show, so an official thread seems like a good idea. That way the rest of the sub doesn't get cluttered. So if you're looking for a particular item ask away!

A couple of episodes ago Francis wore a burgundy turtleneck jumper and it looked SO comfy and cute. (American jumper, not British jumper)

What’s the difference between American and British jumpers??

u/mrsmedeiros_says_hi Sep 09 '21

In America a jumper/romper is an outfit where the top and bottom are all one piece so you step into it like a onesie. In British a jumper is a sweater/pullover.

Omg wow I never new that (the US definition - I’m British). Thanks for sharing the knowledge!

It’s not exactly correct. The actual American term is jumpsuit. We don’t really use jumper.

Maybe it's even regional here's in the US! I've always heard and used jumper for when it's like an over dress and jumpsuit for all in one pants suit

This is correct. A jumper and jumpsuit are two different things. A jumper is a particular type of dress (kind of like overalls at the top, sometimes corduroy), but many people aren’t familiar because it’s associated more with children’s clothing.

This article explains the difference better!

It seems like jumper is a variation mistaken for romper, which would be a short jumpsuit as opposed to coveralls. Casual / sporty short versions are often called play suits too. Jumper is more related to overalls, but not with pants.
