Dungarees AGAIN!!

Bluesheep8 · 30/04/2018 17:54

Having read a thread with photos in here, I am desperate for a pair. Spent sat afternoon trying on about 20 pairs in h and m...I am an 8 to 10 and couldn't even squeeze into a 12 in any style/fit. I want a relaxed fit rather than skinny that I can roll up at the bottom...h and m, topshop, new look, primark and nothing ! Where oh where can I find some? I do want to be able to try in a shoo rather than order on line unless anyone knows of any that are actually true to size.. gap maybe? Thanks in advance 😥

Lucy & Yak - beautifully made and so comfortable. But you have to buy online - true to size though,I think, and in different lengths. Cord or cotton, not denim.

Bluesheep8 · 30/04/2018 18:52

Thanks bingo..ideally want soft denim but will certainly have a look

I bought these in Topshop at the weekend. I'm a 12, and the 12 is lovely and relaxed fit on me. Did you try these ones OP?

h&m sizing is BONKERS btw

Fat Face have some relaxed fit which are really soft denim. I'm thinking of getting them but will need to size down I think.

Bluesheep8 · 30/04/2018 19:12

Ooh thanks trout.. I don't think they were the ones I tried in top shop as they were more fitted/skinny. Will have a look at fat face too...thank you

I got some Esmara ones from EBay for £15. I hot a 12 as I take 12 in skinny jeans. They are very roomy and quite soft.

TheTroutofNoCraic · 30/04/2018 19:33

They honestly are very relaxed on...and I am enormous of boob and generous of bum and thigh.

I brought the fat face ones gorgeous soft denim and loads of room in them I’m a 12 and got a 12 I may have been better off with 10 but I like the roominess comfort.

Enbrogue had a post about dungarees recently. Might be worth reading. Bum40 had one a year ago about leather dungarees.

mytether · 30/04/2018 21:37

Gap have some great ones.

Ellapaella · 30/04/2018 21:57

Hollister! I tried some on when I went in to buy ds some clothes last week. They were really nice! A medium would be a 10.

Place marking! 🤗 x

Bluesheep8 · 01/05/2018 06:28

Hoping to go to a gap outlet at the weekend so will have a look there. I'm not the best at ordering on line as I like to see and feel things...have also been guilty of forgetting to return things and losing the money in the past so try to stuck to actual shops iyswim

I'm an 8 and ASOS dungarees were great, relaxed fit Asos

zippyswife · 01/05/2018 15:06

Yes I have those ASOS ones and I love them. Living in them these days.

Ridiculouslyso · 01/05/2018 15:08

Mine are actually a bit too loose zippys but oh so comfy! And warm in this crap weather.

zippyswife · 01/05/2018 16:23

Mine are loose too. But actually I like them like that! And yes perfect for this weather

Bluesheep8 · 06/05/2018 07:37

Update... I FINALLY got a pair!! Went to the Gap outlet yesterday and spotted a rail with a few pairs on. All XL (Oh the disappointment!) Then a sales assistant came from the fitting rooms and put an XS and an S on the rail so I grabbed the S.. £49.99 reduced to £30. Really pleased with them and Will try to post a pic. One question though, are yours a bit big/loose on the waist? These ones kind of stick out at the sides so I'm thinking I may need to get them taken in (the xs were too fitted on the leg).....

zippyswife · 06/05/2018 08:24

Post a pic!! I bet gap do lovely ones!!

Bluesheep8 · 06/05/2018 09:25

Can't get a good pic unfortunately. Also think They're too loose on the waist but maybe meant to be like that...

Dungarees AGAIN!!

They look great. Mine are very loose on the waist and bum. I like them like that.

Bluesheep8 · 06/05/2018 17:00

Thanks zippy, I think it's because I'm used to wearing skinnies. Also, I make a lot of effort with my weight and to stay a size 10 and don't want to look bigger than I am iyswim

OP posts:
bingohandjob · 06/05/2018 17:43

I think you look fabulous in them - it does feel weird at first not to have a fitted waist but go with it because they look great on you. I am so happy with my Lucy & Yak ones and pretty much all of my female friends are now getting a pair!
