Mine arrived.

It is comfy but foul, no way it would get worn outside the house. Not sure it will get worn in the house!

No protection from chub rub and bizarrely contrary to everyone else the top bit is actually snug around my boobs so no need to wear anything other than a bra underneath.

My squirrel suit arrived today. Love it. Will definitely be taking it on holiday as a beach coverup. Though I am going to tuck and stitch the “wings” inside as pockets.

SandAndSea · 04/07/2018 23:52

I love these! Has anyone found a longer one?

IJustNeedAUserName · 05/07/2018 06:17

Mines just about ankle length (I’m 5’7). I got it from ‘Crazy Girls’ on Amazon

Moonkissedlegs · 05/07/2018 07:39

I had a bit of a play with mine. It is imperative that you take the pointy inside bits of the pockets and attach them together somehow on the inside, either by tying together (although you then get a slight lump in your nether region area!), pinning, hair bobbling or sewing together.

It stops the pockets from keeping on hanging out, changes the whole cut of the outfit and makes it much more flattering.

@SandAndSea I would like to know too! I am almost 6ft and mine is knee length, it looks ridiculous!

I got an 8/10 for my DD. She took one look and said "Jog on Hmm
"

I'm a 16. It fits me. The crotch is below my knees (still) but it's kind of acceptable in the house with no visitors and a tshirt under.

MyRelationshipIsWeird · 05/07/2018 09:48

it's kind of acceptable in the house with no visitors and a tshirt under.. S&B must-haves Grin

Btw loving that my nickname for the squirrel suit is catching on - expecting to see them listed as that on Amazon any day now Grin

thunderbirdthree · 05/07/2018 10:49

Can someone post a photo (or diagram Grin) re the pocket method? I'm not great with a sewing needle. Mine haven't arrived yet...

Loonoon · 05/07/2018 11:42

I am going to buck the trend and say I prefer the shape with the ‘pockets’ hanging outwards. It seems more flattering that way.

I ordered the khaki in 12/14 and it seems big but fine for about the house. I have ordered a Coral in the smaller size and hope it will be a good beach cover up over a bikini.

Thank you OP - I would never have ordered this before I saw your thread.

@loonoon I don't mind the "pockets" sticking out either.

Mine arrived today and despite the fact I would like them longer to the ankle I LOVE them. Have inc rubbish pics at weird angles. I have sewn triangle bits too

Still waiting for mine to arrive from eBay. It said today so I rushed home excited and nothing. Fingers crossed I can wear my squirrel suit this weekend

PilchardsonToast · 05/07/2018 17:12

Mine arrived today! I do not look good....but I like it!!

BagelGoesWalking · 05/07/2018 18:05

I got something similar online last year, can't remember where and no label bit they are amazingly comfortable in the hot weather. Mind you, DD18 made me promise not to go out of the house in it 😬

MyRelationshipIsWeird · 05/07/2018 18:17

@Myrelationshipisweird I think I may know you, or at least I have a friend with one of these who calls it her flying squirrel outfit and tends to wear it as you describe. Do you also wear a denim jacket over it?

I don’t. But I will now! Plus I don’t have any friends so it’s probably not me Grin

KatyaZamolodchikova · 05/07/2018 18:46

Mine arrived today... twice...

I definitely only ordered one, once but, lo! Two have arrived. But, and this is the strange thing they both fit differently. One is clearly a better fit than the other, and I will be keeping it. But what to do with the other?!

Mine arrived today and I look really fat in it!

sunshinejourney · 05/07/2018 20:19

Just ordered a tie dye pink one. Why oh why did they not dispatch it today?! Am intrigued to see it in real life.

PilchardsonToast · 05/07/2018 21:22

Thanks @Iamblossom Smile
