Lucy and Yak Short Dungarees

Does anyone own these? Will I look ridiculous? Most importantly, can anyone tell me how short the knee length ones are? I suspect their models are taller than me and I can't see the measurement on the site. I have messaged them but don't want to miss the sale!

I have no idea but I wear short dungarees. They usually get compliments. Go for it.

MikeUniformMike · 17/02/2019 18:30

You have only made me go and look at their site and made me want some dungarees.
The short ones look long, but I wear bermuda shorts and just below the knee shorts. My dungaree shorts are shorter. I am probably far too old to wear dungarees (i.e. older than a toddler) but I think I look great in them.

I want a pair now...

I've been eyeing up a pair of the full length dungarees for ages - does anyone know what the quality is like?

MikeUniformMike · 17/02/2019 19:04

Is there anyone else who makes a similar style?

GenericHamster · 17/02/2019 19:06

I am 5. 2 and got the green short ones and I think they will be nice - have only tried on though!

bingohandjob · 17/02/2019 20:51

I've got the long ones - they are wonderful. Super soft cord, dead easy to wear and every time I wear them I get compliments. Really well made. I love them. Worn them loads for over a year and they look like new. You can 10% off today with code KIND10 (random act of kindness code for today only). Word of warning on the denim ones - they come up huge in sizing!

PatchworkGirl · 17/02/2019 21:50

Thank you @bingohandjob - I couldn't resist another 10% off so I used the code to order a pair. Sorry for tempting the rest of you!

I have them and I now officially live in them. I might look like a sack (probably do!) but they are sooo comfortable and lovely! They come to just below the knee on me - I'm about 5'2".

I want a dress now...

I have a confession to make... inspired by PatchworkGirl, I ordered some. Full length. Not arrived yet but I think I will love them.

Unbelievable18 · 20/02/2019 16:31

I have some full length black cord ones and absolutely love them.

stayingaliveisawayoflife · 20/02/2019 17:01

Just ordered the denim ones. I have coveted them for years and once bought an awful pair of thin blue cotton that made me look like a tank. I am 43 so hoping I don't look silly in them. I am thinking they will go well with my dms!

PatchworkGirl · 20/02/2019 17:40

Glad to be an inspiration!

I really want some full length ones too but can't justify the cost right now - maybe next time they have a sale!

I ordered sale ones. I liked them and despite missing the 10% off, I thought I'd treat myself.

Barrenfieldoffucks · 20/02/2019 18:22

I really want some. Not sure my size 16/18 belly would thank me though. 🤦

MikeUniformMike · 20/02/2019 19:43

I'd order them anyway Barren. Returns are free. 16/18 is just a number.
if your shoulders are quite slim you'll probably find them flattering.

stayingaliveisawayoflife · 20/02/2019 20:04

I'm size 18 but they say they are a lose fit so hopefully they will fit.

bingohandjob · 20/02/2019 20:10

Glad to see the Lucy & Yak love! Wearing mine right now and they are a delight.

MikeUniformMike · 18/03/2019 19:40

I ordered but sent them back. I liked the style and fit but I didn't like the printed fabric. Their customer service is great and I was very impressed with the quality. I'll probably order again maybe when they have a discount code,
