I really want some I’m 45! Too old? I’m also ‘curvy’. But damn they look comfy.

I'm not tall or willowy, Im five foot and a size 8, but they come in my size so I'm wearing them!Grin

About 3. They are very unattractive.

I love dungarees! I’m 37 and have two baggy cotton pairs, so comfy!

There was a woman in the vaccine queue I was in today in some and she looked fabulous.

She was presumably between 40 and 45 like the rest of us!

I do have large boobers. I’ve gone for it and ordered a pair.

I think it’s a figure thing rather than an age thing, they don’t suit me but I do like them and if you find a pair that suits you then buy them and don’t worry about the age thing.

You can’t say this and not share a link for the dungaree obsessed of us here

I’m in my fifties, with big boobs and I have some Run & Fly ones - I look awesome in them!

chasingmytail4 · 17/04/2021 19:42

Good for you @Queenofbeebers. I’ve just bought a pair of Lucy and Yak ones for my daughter (24). She looks great. I tried them on and loved them but the voice in my head said “you’re too old!” I might take a leaf out of your book and order some.

WowIlikereallyhateyou · 17/04/2021 19:43

5, hideous things.

maddiemookins16mum · 17/04/2021 19:45

I’m also curvy (fat), and closer to 60 than 45. Dungarees would make me look like the character called Judy from the original Prisoner Cell Block H.
I prefer them on under 7s.

MargaretThursday · 17/04/2021 19:45

45 is fine (I have some). I don't care if I look silly. they're comfortable.

ScarlettDarling · 17/04/2021 19:46

I’ve got two pairs from Next which was the only place I could find which did a tall range. I’ve got a black pair and a blue pair and I love them!

ScarlettDarling · 17/04/2021 19:46

Oh, and I’m 46!

Queenofbeebers · 17/04/2021 19:47

Yes I love run and fly. I gave a dinosaur dress from there! Guess if I’m still ok to walk about with a stegosaurus on my arse I can carry off dungarees.

I'm 30 and wear them but I really don't give a toss what other people think.

Arbadacarba · 17/04/2021 19:48

I don't think they flatter any adult of any age, but I don't believe in age-limits for clothes or, indeed, caring what others think. If you want some, get some and wear them happily.

AmandaHoldensLips · 17/04/2021 19:49

Let's be honest. If you're not Carol Bayer Sager or that women from the Nivea ad in the 70s, best to back away from the dungarees.

The woman wearing them on Sewing Bee was 62 and looked fab in them I thought.
