Contemporary outfit including a black jumper or pinafore dress.

A jumper is any, shoulder to thigh length article of women's outer clothing that a woman "jumps into," i.e., is applied from the ankles up. It is typically sleeveless, collarless, and intended to be worn over a blouse, shirt or sweater. It closely approximates a "bib and brace" overall, which is typically worn on a farm.

In British English, the term jumper describes what is called a sweater in American English.
