Help me - I’m trapped in a Seasalt jumpsuit

It’s the Treen Cove one, I’ve lusted after it since Siobhan wore it on Pottery Showdown. It went on with no issues, looks lovely, fits well and is flattering but…..

I’m stuck in the bloody thing. It’s been an hour and I can’t even free an arm despite unbuttoning it down as far as it will go.

Has anyone got this jumpsuit? Can you give me any tips on how to get out of it? I reckon I have about 2 hours before I need the loo.

Perhaps I should have gone for a size bigger for wiggle room knowing what I know now. I’m just going to post myself down to Seasalt HQ and let them deal with it.

Lube and a fish slice?
Heh

I had a full length dress with wide crossover straps. Had a bit to drink and ended up having to do a handstand to get out of it

Miseryisabutterfly · 11/07/2021 18:15

Just looking at the jumpsuit online now… would it be possible to unbutton the front and get a leg out? Then get the rest off? 🙈

Have a drink and find someone to help you! Good luck!

A couple of years ago a JL personal stylist had to cut me out of a (perfectly fitting) jumpsuit she’d put me in as an ‘ideal’ wedding guest outfit. She called for reinforcements and even two of them couldn’t get the bastarding thing off. I was incredibly upset at the time, although the two stylists involved were lovely, and swore it wasn’t the first time they’d had to cut someone out of a jumpsuit.

I have no idea how to help but you’ve made my day OP so thank you 😂

DobbyTheHouseElk · 11/07/2021 18:06

I’m feeling panicked for you OP. Are you free yet? I’d have wet myself by now.

Don't understand the love for jumpsuits. They look nice but don't you basically have to get naked just to go for a wee? The thought of doing that in public toilets and trying to keep it off the floor ..

@Blowingagale

My downfall are Indian tops. Even the large ones are designed with slim arms in mind.
hell yes, I had a lovely Indian kurti top that was light and wafty over the wobbly bits and fitted and skimming on the boobs, but I could only wear that if there was someone in the house to grab hold of the hem while I bent over and backed out of it.

I got stuck in a tweed shift dress in French Connection once. Took ages to get out. I thought I was going to have to rip it. I pretended I'd been in there mulling it over and given it lots of thought but sadly it was a no when I got out!

MoltonSilver · 11/07/2021 17:56

Looking at the pictures, yeah I can see how that would happen. I think if you're bending you arms it's never coming off. Try slipping it past your shoulders then putting your arms by your sides. You might be able to get it to slide down you arms. It might be a two man job.

LaurieSchafferIsAllBitterNow · 11/07/2021 17:54

Are you out yet OP??

Do you need reinforcement sending with a pack of butter and a shoe horn?

I have a Boden Jumpsuit but it is very large and very stretchy, I have a mortal fear of stuck things...rings that won't come off, hair brushes/tongs in hair, fitted frocks.

Igneococcus · 11/07/2021 17:54

There isn't a hidden zip somewhere?

I have a top from Toast that I weaved myself in and out of in a snake-like fashion for the first year that I owned it until I discovered a zip in the side.

Freshprincess · 11/07/2021 17:53

@Hoosi and @MsFannySqueers Lethal Weapon! Thank you I couldn’t think what to google to look it up.

Shoulder dislocation is definitely Plan B in this scenario.

Sorry I can't help OP; I've always been wary of jumpsuits as I have a somewhat excitable digestive system. You've managed to confirm my fears....

Actually maybe we need a diagram, like a parking thread!

Photo or it didn't happenGrin

Needcoffeecoffeecoffee · 11/07/2021 17:41

I've done it too last week. Think that was a sea salt one. Non stretchy material. I had to call dh to help who wasnt too happy as he was working. But my other alternative was to sit in meetings with my arms stuck slightly behind me and boobs on showBlush

@MrsMoastyToasty

I got trapped in an M&S sports bra once...
I got trapped halfway out of a Molke bra...DO NOT try them if you have neck and shoulder issues.

btw best thread EVER

longtompot · 11/07/2021 17:40

Do the buttons not undo all the way down the front? I hate getting stuck on clothing, especially in changing rooms. I get hotter and hotter which doesn't help one iota. Good luck @FitYeDaeinYeMadRadge hope the bed trick works!

GoWalkabout · 11/07/2021 17:39

I have been stuck in many garments in changing rooms in my time.
