Don't judge me but I want a onesie

Can anyone recommend a really warm (insulated?) onesie with a hood - that goes up to plus size? Infuriatingly I'm about a 16 but have a massive arse and thighs.

I know, I know, they're gross; but I seriously do live in the coldest house of all time and work from home, and can't really afford to have the central heating on all day.

The internet's full of the blighters but most of them look very thin and a bit pointless. Can't afford to be too choosy on the style but I do like the whole Aztec and Fair Isle look.

Thanks in advance for not taking the piss Grin

The thing that makes me cringe the most is I commented I was wearing a onsie - he must have been scared been thinking I was trying to entice him :)

Frakes ;)

I have one of the silly expensive 'one piece' ones. Dh bought it for me last year....I had lusted after it for ages. It's camouflage print.

It is my favorite thing in the whole world. It's warm, cosy, comfy and is worn very single day. I wear it as soon as I get home in the evening with a vest/tshirt and knickers underneath. I don't sleep in it...too warm. But it goes straight back on in the morning until I get showered.

On a price per wear basis, it's pennies. Quality is really good and it washes and dries well.

There are loads of them about now....Matalan had some cosy ones there, and Asda had some beautiful heavy microfibre fleece ones too.

I'm a proper fan of the onesie.... Get one!!! Grin

I read the OP as "Don't fudge me..."
and therein, I suppose, is how I feel about onesies!

Varya · 23/11/2013 15:29

Got mine from Amazon. Saving it for really cold weather. Cant have heating on all day so it seems ideal IMO.

sOODdragon · 23/11/2013 15:35

I don't have a onsie - I can't bear the thought of having to remove it to go to the toilet don't mention the option of a bum flap

I have an oh-so-stylish knee length fluffy fleece from Primark instead. It has an owl face on the hood classy and is lovely and cosy.

SpookyRestingFace · 23/11/2013 19:24

I succumbed. They arrived today and I am now wearing this with a black fleece one on top (can no longer find on site but is lovely) Blush

Am v toasty!

catellington · 23/11/2013 22:28

Grin oh my.... I'm just lurking here (too cowardly to admit I have a closet interest in onesies) and am literally crying with laughter... Onesie support thread Grin ... becool that's the best story I've read in ages!!! A Janet Jackson style onesie wardrobe malfunction!

FragglerockAmpersand · 24/11/2013 15:19

Ooh Spooky I think you've settled my question about what to wear under my onesie - another onesie! Seems to obvious when you think about it Grin

But how toasty will you be when you need the toilet??

SpookyRestingFace · 24/11/2013 17:57

But how toasty will you be when you need the toilet??

Well. With great toastiness comes great bladder control Grin

(I.e. it is bloody freezing so I go for a wee before putting it on, then hold out as long as possible, then when I have to go I do so with Olympian swiftness.)

Is almost worth it, though, for the bliss when you get back into the thing after a visit. Like when you've had heels on and take them off, or had your hair scraped back and then let it down. Aaaaaaahhhhh .

Vicki1972 · 24/11/2013 18:04

I don't normally venture into S&B, what with having the fashion sense of a tasteless, colour-blind hippo, but fucking hell, a onesie? Sad

Had you considered a slanket at all? Blush Blush

FannyMcNally · 24/11/2013 18:07

Does anyone want a brand new Cheshire Cat onesie? I ordered two by mistake and both arrived from China this week. Still in packaging. £15 medium size.

BeCool · 24/11/2013 21:13

catellington YY a Janet Jacket style onesie malfunction - I feel so much better now - thank you Grin but didn't she do that deliberately?

vicki it's beyond rude to mention slankets on a onesie thread. Who do you think we are? Grin

FragglerockAmpersand · 25/11/2013 10:25

Vicki Shock wash your mouth out with soap and water for that remark! A slanket?! Who d'you think we are?!?!?!11!!1!

Grin

I can't get my onesie until I'm paid. Sad times. But oh the joy when I do...

So if I wanted to buy matching onesies for DH and DS (8yo) is that possible? And would you recommend onesies for short chunky males? They're a bit like the Greek father and son off of Britain's Got Talent Grin

OneHolyCow · 25/11/2013 19:19

Seriously, I cannot for the life of me get why you would want to dress yourself in something like a onesie. Ridiculous thing. I get my judgy pants, not attached to my top, in the most twisty twists. Please. Let go of this stupid fad and do not claim that you have to have it for warmth. Honestly.
It is horrible and makes you look like someone with a very unhealthy stuffed animal and diaper fetish.

ButterflySandwich · 25/11/2013 19:23

I saw a man in his late 20s coming out of Peacocks changing room today in a blue onesie and I laughed out loud Blush it did make my morning though Grin

Golddigger · 25/11/2013 19:31

Onesies seem to have gone serious mainstream.

To all those who say that they would never wear one, have you or would you wear them to a onesie party? [yes, they do exist!]
A friend of mine said neve to a onesie, but once she had to buy and wear one to a party, she changed her mind.

OneHolyCow · 25/11/2013 20:27

I'd rather stick myself with a toasting fork.

FragglerockAmpersand · 25/11/2013 21:08

OneHolyCow I'm slightly tempted to put you in my study on a freezing Norfolk night at -17 degrees, with very little money for heating, in a room with 2 large windows and 2 outside walls, in an old damp house, and several thousand words to write, and see how long you last before climbing into the one thing that might stop you weeping with cold Grin

Disclaimer: I haven't actually got one yet. If it doesn't do precisely that I shall be terribly cross.

I must admit though, the one I've got my eye on is going to make me look like this guy off of The Shining Hmm

I have survived worse Fraggle, without onesies.. they were not invented in the ice-age that was my misspent youth in drafty squats in the eighties. What was that winter? 86?
Sheepskins man. Be warm, but cool!

I think that what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own home is none of my business ;-)
