Jumper (dress)

[3][4][5] Hemlines can be of different lengths and the type of collar and whether or not there is pleating are also variables in the design.

[citation needed] A sundress, like a jumper, is sleeveless and collarless; however, such articles are not worn over a blouse or sweater, and are of distinctly different cuts and fashions.

"[8] Jumpers in the United States were part of the sportswear collections of Jean Patou, Coco Chanel and Paul Poiret.

[10] Jumpers were touted as an "American" and a "sports fashion" in 1930 by the Pittsburgh Press.

[11] The dresses were also praised for allowing women to create color combinations through the choice of blouse worn underneath.
