    (Reply is not working on mobile. This is to Aaron.) It is not plural. Plural is "women's sweaters" (with the extra "s"). Think of it this way: you could write "a women's sweater" as "a sweater for women".

        Why is the English translation of светр "jumper"? Shouldn't it be "sweater".

          It's British, I found out. In American, a jumper is jumpsuit or a "one-sie." A светр is just a sweater

            British say, "jumper" and Americans say, "sweater."

                There is a mistake in this answer : a woman’s sweater.
