I think I need a jumpsuit in my life...

Looking at this from Monki but can't decide if I'm delusional. I'm short (5' 1"), skinny, & 49 - is it one of those looks that only works on the tall & willowy?

I'm 5ft2 and that would totally swamp me, too much fabric.

Good username Grin
You're right, it's so true. I've found some rather sweet Asos petite range ones here and here but neither cover the shoulders, and I really do want some kind of sleeve (sunburn central otherwise).

I'd be tempted by this even given no shoulders apart from the strange back cutout (why???)

Very do a really flattering black jumpsuit for £45, can’t link right now but pretty sure they are also doing a petite version.

If not, the main one is cropped on me (5ft9) so would probs be full length/just need the hem taking up etc.

I like the green Asos one. Completely agree about the random cut outs - does no one need a bra any more?

Have you looked at Mango? Even as a short arse I've found nice bits there. Maybe uniqlo? You might need to be willing to chop some off the bottom of the legs though #shortlife

on short people I have to say that they can look like they’re wearing a babygro in a jumpsuit

Amibeingdaft81 · 06/06/2019 19:30

Hush do a lovely one!

TheFaerieQueene · 06/06/2019 19:30

I like the red one from ASOS.

Mango is a good call - not a jumpsuit, but very tempted by these dungarees, and this looks like a lovely pattern and this too.

Shame this one is short - also don't do short legs due to sunburn issues!

Oh, I like the second one. I love the look of dungarees but my boobs make them impossible. I've had this in my mango basket for a few days, I'm not sure about the short legs either.

I have zero boobs, so that's definitely not an issue for me!

What about this denim one?

Next have some lovely ones online
I never thought I’d suit a jumpsuit as I’m 5’4” but with a short torso
I found a perfect black and white spotty one in a soft drape jersey

Looks much better on!
I bought the petite length and it’s perfect

Greenteandchives · 07/06/2019 09:13

I have a few. I am 5’2” as well. I find they look better with tapered legs. I love wearing them with a denim jacket.
Never leave it a bit late when you need a wee.

Found a lovely one in the end from Urban Outfitters - still no sleeves, but it works nicely either on its own or with a tee underneath, so I can always cover up if needed :)

That's very nice, well wear. A yellow linen one in mango just popped back into stock so I just bought it Blush
