Talk:Jumper dress
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Jumper dress?
I don't know enough about the subject to make the changes myself, but I would consider renaming the article to "Jumper (dress)". It seems to me that it is usual to use the word "jumper" by itself when referring to the item, and that "jumper dress" would be limited in use to circumstances where it is necessary to distinguish between different types of dresses. --Eclecticology, Monday, June 10, 2002
- In clothing, a "jumper" is a kind of dress in the US, but it's a sweater in the UK, and then of course there are jumper cables for automobiles and jumpers in electronics and sport... I've never heard the article of clothing referred to as a "jumper dress" in the US, FWIW. -- Marj Tiefert, Monday, June 10, 2002
[edit] Gymslip?
What are the opinions on whether British gymslips should be mentioned in this article? In my scant observations, I haven't noticed much distinction between gymslips and jumpers/pinnies. President Lethe 22:06, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
