Obviously not literally- though after a few drinks....
I would like a jumpsuit. Black. Heavyish material. V neck- ish. For going out in for meals, etc. I am 49and 3/4. Size 14 and an apple.
My 5'8" daughter thinks I should wear a culottes one as a normal length as I am 5'2". Is she right? Or heightism?😬

I'm a similar size and height to you and I love this one from New Look, I have it in a couple of colours.

They also do a long sleeve version. And both styles are currently on sale Smile

@Sweetheart1313
Thank you. Does that one come up as a culotte one on you or full leg length please?

I think the cropped wide leg look will look very dated very quickly.

I’m looking for a full leg tall one - I have the opposite height problem to you OP!

I bought this from Whistles a few months ago
www.Whistles.com/women/sale/jumpsuit-27427_color=Black%2FMulti#start=0
I love it - the material is a bit weird though, sort of a heavy, stiff, linen, but it's really comfortable and you can dress it up or down - I've worn it to work and for going out. The only thing that I don't like is that it's a bit baggy round the hips, but I had to buy a 14 for the boobs, and I'm a 10/12 everywhere else, but I can always get it taken in.

It's in the sale, although still a bit pricey.

@Moonflower12 it comes up as a culotte leg. I find it more flattering than any longer length jumpsuits that I've tried on, those just make me look like a Tellytubby Grin

I've got a few from QVC. Yes, honestly!!
Do a search on their website.

Moonflower12 · 19/09/2018 19:23

@BlackAzalea
The link is coming up "ooops not found'!

@Sweetheart1313
Thank you. I'll pop into New Look and try it. Looks a bargain price!

@primoestate
I'll have a mooch. Thank you.

Warehouse have a couple of gorgeous jumpsuits in at the moment. I have a black cropped leg one with sleeves, and D-ring belt. It's absolutely lovely, heavy fabric and looks great with heels or flats. I'm 5ft 11 and it's a perfect cropped length on me.

Moonflower12 · 21/09/2018 14:48

Thank you @Almondio- I'll look at that one too.

I get all mine from ASOS - good quality jersey material (I'm tall though- I assume they do a petite range if needed)

BlackAzalea · 21/09/2018 16:36

@Moonflower12 it's the Abella Tie Linen jumpsuit, £139

HeyNumber2 · 21/09/2018 16:52

Also look at Quiz and Wallis.

I found Warehouse and MissSelfridge too short in the body for me so you need to try on a few to find the right one for you.

Sallygoroundthemoon · 21/09/2018 16:54

I got a fabulous one in ASOS petite. No link as it was last year but they have lots. At 5 ft 1 I had to have it taken up still but you'd be fine.

Moonflower12 · 27/09/2018 17:58

Thank you, all.
Going for a look this evening via the internet! It's payday!
