The combination of the wide opening down the front and the zipper allows her to step into the garment through the top the zipper closes up and the button secures the waistband. My daughter's jumper has a yoke-style top - that is it has a fairly open front it has a waistband with both a zipper and button, on one side, for closure. A jumper is closed all the way around - since I just read this evening that a pinafore (my guess for what the British would call our jumper) is not generally closed in the back (although it could have apron-string ties to keep it in place) - thank you, Wikipedia. They can go down the back or on the side. The extra space (aka, wiggle room) to get the jumper on is usually provided by a zipper and/or buttons. One can pull the jumper over one's head or, in the case of my daughter's jumper, step into it - this depends largely on the neckline. The jumper can hang from the shoulders to the hemline OR it can have a waistband. It is sleeveless and, by definition, is meant to be worn over a blouse or turtleneck. Here's my take on my own:Ī jumper is an item of clothing that essentially provides, all in one piece, a skirt and a bodice. My daughter and I worked on a fantastic definition of "jumper" together, and it didn't make it to a post because I hadn't logged in first. ![]() For example, in the UK the further north you go, the more likely you are to use jumper instead of sweater, and vice versa.

So in the UK it all means pretty much the same, however there are considerable semantic variations in the US. The meaning is the same in the US and UK, but it is a pretty uncommon word in the US. Pullover: again is a garment you wear over your shirt, pulled over your head. In the US this is a similar item, however, a cardigan with buttons can also be called a sweater in the US. Sweater: In the UK this is the same as a jumper, a garment you wear over your shirt, with no buttons, and is pulled over your head. (Google will be happy to show you images.) It has a kind of "little girl" sense to it kind of like pinafore, however, for sure adult women wear them too. It is a type of girl's dress, a top, with attached shorts basically. In the US this has a completely different meaning. It doesn't have buttons, and it pulled over your head. Jumper: In the UK this just refers to an garment you wear over your shirt for warmth. I am only familiar with US English and UK English, others can fill in the blanks: There is a lot of regional variation on the meanings of these words. ![]()
