Sugarhill Brighton has a lovely collection of dinosaur jumpers.

Could you squeeze yourself into an age 13 from one of the Scandi brands that tends to come up big?

Ok, not dinosaurs, but these guys do adult puddlesuits in a few different funky patterns!

You know those kid's wellies that look like they've got frog eyes sticking up? I want them.

And now you mention it, a dinosaur puddle suit would be amazing.

Meant to be available before the end of 2023.. fingers crossed!

Loving this thread. I'm glad I'm not the only one who wishes I could get some of the kiddies design's in adult size.
There is an advert for washing powder that features a purple dinosaur onesie with green spikes on it
I want one!!

I love dinosaurs! Once saw a small boy wearing a t-shirt with a sequin tyrannosaurus on it. Managed to track it down but obviously it only went up to age 10 😡so I bought it anyway, cut the dinosaur out very carefully and stitched it onto a t-shirt in my size.

This is brilliant.

I completely understand. My 3 year old DD has an enviable wardrobe of items covered in dinosaurs, mermaids and rainbows. And don’t even get me started on all the sparkly colourful shoes with VELCRO instead of stupid shoelaces.

Oh this is so true, I really want trainers that are just velcro to be the adult norm too.

I have seen a lovely 50s style dress with dinosaurs that I real want an excuse to buy and wear....

You don't need an excuse☺️. Go ahead and get it!!

I did this, but with a really nice pokemon sweat top from h&m

Iheartmysmart · 20/10/2023 13:04

@Simonjt How funny, that’s where the original dinosaur t-shirt was from. Perhaps we need a campaign to get them to make some of their kid’s clothes in bigger sizes.

Toddlerteaplease · 20/10/2023 13:46

I also want some sparkly doc martens. My manger likes to wear quirky shoes, but she can wear kids shoes and it's just not fair! Heavenly feet do some lovely sparkly boots but they don't fit me.

Pavers do some boots about like Doc Martens which are pretty.

Now I love the idea of a puddle suit covered with dinosaurs except , as I discovered on a cold day whilst wearing layers and dungarees, as a woman of a certain age , the necessity for quick and easy access on cold ,wet days for weeing purposes makes anything all in one an additional strain on a slightly dodgy pelvic floor.

GrimGrinningGhosts · 20/10/2023 14:25

Run and Fly do a lot of dinosaur print adult clothing I own more of it that i should admit

Our local shopping centre entrance from the car park used to be through the children's section of Next, and without fail I'd walk through, spot something amazing and say to DH "WHY ISN'T THAT IN MY SIZE DAMMIT!!"

Iheartmysmart · 20/10/2023 14:27

I had some sparkly DMs but after I’d worn them for a while they started creaking which was really annoying.

Yep! There's always that moment where my brain sees the toilet and says "release!" whilst I'm still tearing at my clothing...

Oh my god, this thread, and all the lovely links contained it, has brought a big smile to my face ❤thank you!

GrimGrinningGhosts · 20/10/2023 14:36

Should probably have added a link, Run & Fly's current dino collection, they also do space:

You're definitely my people, I am often so jealous of small children's outfits.

Where are all the nice bright jumpers with suns on for ME???

ShowOfHands · 20/10/2023 16:36

Neuronamechange · 20/10/2023 11:37

Where do you get your dungarees?! They sound delightful!

A lot of my stuff comes from Run & Fly as previously linked. Also, Lucy & Yak and Duns. Plus, I buy fabric and make my own!

Business idea!

I have a few Kigu's! The original and best, none of this 'onesie' crap.
I have skeleton, dino, pikachu and stitch. Love em, especially in winter.

Found a dinosaur oversized hoodie in the boys department at Primark. I'm a size 16 and the XL one fits. It's got spikes on the hood. 😂 my sister is horrified
