Has anyone seen something like this in a jersey fabric?

This is not my usual style at all but while no-one else is around to see me and the weather is warmer I'd like one of these for pottering around in the house and garden.

I can't find one in a jersey material and I don't particularly like linen because it creases so badly and tends to fold in unflattering places.

Has anyone seen shorts dungarees a bit like this in jersey fabric?
TIA Thanks

I’ve got a cheap dress in a similar fabric from eBay and it’s been fantastic. Doesn’t crease like “proper” linen so if you can’t find a jersey one, don’t discount this

Ok, thank you DownyBuds
That's really helpful to know Smile what is the sizing like?

For the price I might just order it anyway, though with anything like this from eBay I worry that I could be supporting sweatshops and/or child labour.

My summer work clothes are still very smart and my summer off work clothes are either tea dresses or shorts and t-shirts for casual but as I say, I thought I'd go the whole hog for lockdown and keeping cool this sort of thing would be ideal.

Looks like they’re on Amazon as well so have a look at the reviews about sizing - the ones I saw said the body was too short sadly

Thanks Downy

I saw this style in tesco yesterday if you have one nearby, it was denim blue but was very loose if you know the kind of fabric/style I mean? It was next to this dress I've managed to get a pic of that's the same colour/fabric.

Was going to say amazon too

I accidentally got a play suit from there in a navy jersey last week which is good for exactly what you need (although had a T-shirt shaped top not straps).

I say accidentally because I thought I clicked the one with longer legs. But turns out to be a good buy anyway.

oh i love this! Hate ordering off ebay/Amazon though as i never know what size to get Hmm

Ah shame Basdan our nearest Tesco that sells clothes is 20 miles or so away. Thank you for thinking of it for this thread.

So.. I ordered it last night, I sized right up to a 14 - I'm usually a 10- it doesn't matter if it's too big, I only want something to chuck over a bodysuit.

I'm going to wear it in the garden during lockdown when the weather is nice.
