Holly Willoughbys M&S jumpsuit. Is this going to look shit on me?

I’m 5’ 0.5 cm. size 12-14 hourglass and big boobs. I’m 58. I’m young looking and look best in v casual clothes and live in skinny jeans, shirts, blazers, long sleeved tees etc.

Am I too old, too small, too curvy to give this a go? I don’t want to look ridiculous. Is there any way this might just work? I’d wear it with a plain tee under, maybe a belt depending on fit and trainers ( never ending ligament problem and can’t wear shoes )

I suspect it may look like a boiler suit? But you could always try it on and see.

Jesus no. Unless you are really going to dress it up ie amazing heels, red lip it will look like your wearing a boiler suit.

Holly is very curvy but also tall.

but i would say go for it

RhodaChrosite · 04/03/2019 18:24

Itslikerain no chance of wearing amazing heels with it sadly. I do always wear make-up and nice understated bracelet and earrings but I dress very casually. While I’ve been dithering, all sizes have now sold out online so will give it a go if they have it in stock in town. I did wear boilersuit type jumpsuits back in the 80s but will need to be realistic when I look at one in the mirror now.

I think it looks terrible on the model and on Holly too, so I’d steer well clear.

Redshoeblueshoe · 04/03/2019 18:37

It's bloody awful. Probably quite handy if you are decorating.

ShakeYourTailFeathers · 04/03/2019 18:39

Nice to fix the car in....

wishingforalotterywin · 04/03/2019 18:42

Think you would need a flat stomach otherwise will look like a pregnant-in-dungarees look

Almahart · 04/03/2019 18:43

I love it but it’s comoletely sold out!

asteri76 · 04/03/2019 18:43

I tried it on Friday and it looked absolutely awful on me!! Also nearly had to dislocate my shoulder to get it off 🙄🙄

confusedandemployed · 04/03/2019 18:45

My god I thought that actually was a boiler suit. It's shocking!

PinkHeart5914 · 04/03/2019 18:45

It is horrible!

Seriously don’t do it, I struggle to believe anyone would look good in that doesn’t even flatter holly herself in my opinion

RhodaChrosite · 04/03/2019 18:47

asteri you’re not selling it to me 😀.

Wishingforalotterywin my stomach is pretty flat.

PinkHeart out of her entire range I thought that was the most flattering item on her.

GooodMythicalMorning · 04/03/2019 18:49

I thought it was a boiler suit at first glance.

UncomfortableSilence · 04/03/2019 18:50

If you're planning on doing some painting this weekend then get it otherwise I would steer well clear...it looks so unflattering particularly from the back on the model.

Whynham · 04/03/2019 18:52

You'd get a cheaper one exactly the same from dickies.

wigglybeezer · 04/03/2019 18:57

Ha, that jumpsuit reminds me of my blue boilersuit from the farm supplies shop I wear when I'm gardening. I was weeding the front garden last week and overheard a small child walking past say " What's that man doing?" I'm a size 12 and have a Bob. I will not be buying the M&S one.

Notthecarwashagain · 04/03/2019 18:59

My DD did animal management at college.
She wore something just like this for practicals. Grin

jcmayj · 04/03/2019 19:00

Very Michael Myers esque 🙈😂

RhodaChrosite · 04/03/2019 19:02

Notthecarwashagain I always wanted to work with animals 🙈. I think I have to try this now just to see if it looks as dreadful as everyone thinks it’s going to.

Have a look at Lucy and Yak boiler suits OP.

PrismGuile · 04/03/2019 19:07

It's meant to be a boiler suit... they are in fashion.

@ItsLikeRainOnYourWeddingDay I'm sorry but heels and a red lip? You'd look like a stripper pretending to be a plumber.

Wear it with some Stan smiths and a striped t-shirt - cool as a cucumber.

Notthecarwashagain · 04/03/2019 19:14

Grin Joking aside, hope you manage to get hold of one and you like it on- it does seem to have a lot of good reviews!

Loopytiles · 04/03/2019 19:15

Boiler suit.
