Basically, I want one, but I'm scared of them. I'm very tall and currently size 14 with mumtum as have six month old baby. Should I just wait until I drop a size and tone up the tummy? Are they flattering or do you need to be in top shape to carry them off? Will they just give me camel toe as I'm tall? Where to buy from? Shopping time limited so need direction. But all the feckers on my (artsy, London) insta/Twitter feeds are wearing them at their (artsy/London) parties. I am jealous.

Hoe tall are you?

herecomesthsun · 13/07/2016 07:52

How strong is your pelvic floor? They are awkward to get in and out of going to the loo, I wanted comfy easy stuff in the early baby days.

In terms of size, no you're fine. Don't know about height as I'm not tall, and I would agree that you need to make sure you can get in and out of it quickly.

I have this one in a size 14, and while I love the way it looks on it is an absolute bastard getting it on and off. Also I wear a vest top under it as it literally gapes to the waist on my big boobs.

I love them and have 4!!!

Just order a tall one from top shopper asos.

I'm 5'11. Pelvic floor is all right actually but yeah hadn't even thought about the getting in and out of them angle! Asos tall VG IDEA thank you. Also saw a few on m&s that I liked and may investigate, surely they'd be nice and forgiving!

Going for a wee can be an issue but I just feel so put together when I wear one.

I am a size 16 in fairly shoddy nick and love mine - black, crepey, with sleeves, wide legged, from H&M so comically long on me in bare feet. Have to wear very big wedges. Get one with pockets and stand around with your hands in them looking insouciant. It's great.

ledgeoffseason · 13/07/2016 23:08

God I love a bit of insouciance. This is amazing, a whole new world is opening up.

Oh god YES! The pockets are great.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 14/07/2016 20:00

How do you wee in them? Do you have to take the whole thing off, or is there a bum/crotch flap?

One of my friends recently wore a brightly printed jumpsuit to a wedding we were at. She's a size 16, 5ft 8 ish, recently had a baby.
She looked AMAZING - arguably the best dressed woman in the room. Comfortable but effortlessly stylish.
And she was the one giving it some on the dancefloor while most of us were holding our bellies in, due to the unforgiving dresses, and wishing we were dressed like her. Go for it OP!

I think they look really good on pear-shaped.
