Jumpsuit or dungarees for winter?

I've been wearing a lovely soft linen jumpsuit/dungarees (sort of half way between - wearable alone or with t-shirt) this summer, and now looking for something similar for the cold weather. Anyone seen anything nice around? - I know the winter things are only just coming in, but it'd be nice to find something soon as all my more casual warmer trousers are very disreputable.

I'm 50, 5'1"ish, & slight build - been looking at these from Lucy & Yak as warm corduroy, & organic/non-sweatshop, but I suspect they'd swamp me.

Lucy & Yak dungarees are gorgeous but loose fitting. I'm a small size 8 and about 3 inches taller than you. I have returned Umi and Luna dungarees - the Lunas were loose but still a nice fit but the Umi ones swamped me. I'd try a style that is available in XS. The Original is available in XS.
Their customer service is great and returns are free I think.

That's really helpful, thank-you :)

The checked one is lovely. I've just this minute ordered dungarees from L&Y - maybe I should add to the order & decide which I like the best... I'd dismissed boilersuits because of the lack of layering potential (cold house & office!) but putting a merino underlayer could actually work really nicely.

The only slightly offputting thing is I spend quite a lot of my time at work wearing a boilersuit more like this Grin

I just got a delivery of the Easton during the week, I'm wearing them right now! They are super thick corduroy, I mean they're not kidding about them being heavyweight, you couldn't wear them during the summer. But are v cosy.

I sized down in both size and leg and was correct to do so. I like the deeeeeep side pockets, they're fab.

I'm definitely going to buy a lighter weight pair for summer!

Heavyweight sounds perfect, just what I want. I've gone for XS & just hope that's right! DD is going to vet them for me & make sure I don't look overly kindergarten :)
