thought i'd make some of you chuckle, i have been wearing jumpers and tshirts from m&s and bhs both with popper gussets to help keep them from riding up and help keep lower back warm, well time really has come to replace these and after desperat searches just about everywhere i've come to the conclusion no where makes them anymore, (unless any of you know of anywhere ? if so i'd be greatful of a post please.) so i decided to order two of the tanni and anni popper vests!! they arrived this morning, but taking them out the pack (i'd ordered small even though i'm a size 14 as was told they come up big) well i just burst out laughing, i could see without trying they were far far too long!! but just for a laugh i tried them on, well the gusset came down to my knees!! and the body was very baggy, i guess if i was size 20 and 7ft tall they might have been ok, but being a 5ft size 14 i sort of drown in them!! anyone else tried them?
i rang them they said yes they do come up a bit big!!! so now ordered a child sized 12 to 14yrs to see if they are any better!!! watch this space.

At that rate you'd be better off with a BabyGrow (if they still make such a thing!! It's been a while

My carer suggested i tuck my feet in the gusset. that way i can remove my footrest and make my chair even lighter at the same time as saving on having to buy shoes and socks!!!!

Hey, ya I just ordered some day before yesterday as well as some shorts. They're very helpful and are willing to make custom alterations if need be.

finally recieved the replacements (had to order kids 12 -14yrs as was next size down to adult small!) the navy fitted perfectly (sizing is obviously way out as i'm an adult size 14!!) but the pink in the same size was too short to be able to do poppers up!! on measuring the two together the pink is 4cm (1 1/2") shorter than the navy!! so sent pink back and asked if have any same length as navy!! however gues i'll prob either get another navy one sent or a refund!! on the good side they did refund me the difference between the adult sizes and the childs without me asking.
