Does anyone fancy a challenge? I'm a fussy customer 😂 and can't find what I'm looking for jumpsuit wise

  • Weight gain has me at a size 18 ish, most weight around stomach but health problems have me very bloated in general so I don't like tight and am very self conscious
  • I love black, red, purple, bold pink. No pastels
  • 36gg
  • I would like full length ( no culottes) wide leg trousers. I love palazzo pants
  • I would like it to be removable without another adult being present so no back fastenings or zips to get out of it
  • shirred tends to suit me, but bust Always a problem
  • sensory issues with clothes, no frills, no frou frou, no off the shoulder.
  • nice breathable fabric, cool
  • I'm not adverse to patterns. Some flowers are nice, it very much depends
  • I'm the kind of person who favours comfort and would buy another in a different colour if I like it. I've just bought 3 identical bras in different colours
  • I can't emphasise this enough. I do not follow fashion, never have. I dress my style, alternative, individual, and favour charity shops so I can get unique items *will consider any price up to 150 if its amazing

I've enclosed 3 pictures of ones I like to give an idea of taste. They either have zips or are culotte style.

Would love some ideas if anyone felt the need

I'm really not sure @Draculaswedding, i would just be worried that at 5 foot that could be a lot of fabric (wide full length trousers) it might swamp you. I think maybe if you cropped the trousers it would then look great but would you do that? Ive got the longer length cheesecloth shorts and a matching v neck cheesecloth top, creating my own own jumpsuit/play suit? I sometimes find it easier to tailor my jumpsuit to me, with two matching pieces, I can wear it in lots more ways - which I know is an odd thing to say on a jumpsuit thread! 😂

Draculaswedding · 18/06/2021 07:40

Rina66 thanks for that. I think as returns aren't free I won't chance it. I don't think I fancy shortening the legs either (too lazy) and they don't look like you could roll them up without them rolling back down as they're wide.

www.asos.com/prd/24501685 this is new on ASOS today, short legs and the plisse looks forgiving. Is the print too chintz though?

Myshitisreal · 18/06/2021 12:33

It's very adorable but it's not my style.if the main colour e black I might like it more.

But also, that neck would make me matron le matron with 36gg!😘

[quote AnnieSnap]**@Rina66* and @Myshitisreal*, the Mana Mou jumpsuit is great. Very casual, but so cool and comfortable for everyday wear. I like it so much that I’ve just ordered another one in Khaki and that’s not really my colour 🤨 I really want Navy, but it’s out of stock ☹️[/quote]
I’ve just had an email to say the navy is back in stock. So that has been ordered to join my grey marl that arrived today !

Myshitisreal · 18/06/2021 18:05

I've ordered black. FOMO otherwise 😂 🤞 let's hope I don't feel like a big lump in it

Well, I’m 5’ 1” 34f, bigger than I’d like (thank you lockdown & menopause 🙄) , short-legged and I don’t look as much of a lump as I feared! Stomach completely disguised and actually not too long ( I had visions of fabric puddling round my feet…) - it just reaches my feet

And anyway it’s very comfy and cool!

AnnieSnap · 18/06/2021 21:11

@SigrunGard thanks for the heads-up. I heading over now 🙂

BakeOffRewatch · 18/06/2021 21:34

I got an ad for this one from Boden, looks lovely and comfy! Hefty price tag though. www.boden.co.uk/en-gb/estella-jersey-jumpsuit-navy/sty-j0919-nav

I have that one (with the NHS 25% discount) in the the blue pattern. It’s lovely!

Okay, so I delightedly bought the navy one. And accidentally also bought the blue cheese cloth 😳

BakeOffRewatch · 18/06/2021 22:08

Oh good to know @AnnieSnap. Maybe one for birthday!

SigrunGard · 18/06/2021 22:31

@AnnieSnap - I accidentally bought a dress whilst I was there, funny how that sort of thing happens 😂

AnnieSnap · 18/06/2021 22:31

@BakeOffRewatch

Oh good to know *@AnnieSnap*. Maybe one for birthday!
Good idea. I’ll tell myself that, as it’s only 3 weeks away 😀
AnnieSnap · 18/06/2021 22:33

@SigrunGard Isn’t it? 🤣😂

Myshitisreal · 19/06/2021 04:27

The boden one looks so lovely. But it's that weird in between length that doesn't suit me 😭 I'm delighted for those it does

Mana mou jumpsuit has just arrived. I'm a bit scared 😬

OP posts:
Myshitisreal · 25/06/2021 16:45

Ok its incredibly comfortable and it skims nicely so it definitely fits. I'll keep it purely at least to wear in the house. The culottes are a bit odd, I think it's a sensory thing but I'm just not entirely comfortable. It feels wrong.... 😂 So it's not my preference length wise but it will definitely tick a box and add to my wardrobe. I've not looked in a full length mirror yet so no idea how it looks

I know you don’t want cropped, but I recently bought this one and love it. www.bravissimo.com/products/lydia-culotte-jumpsuit-pd859/#blackcream-pd859bcr

They also have a similar one which is not cropped

Myshitisreal · 25/06/2021 17:07

Do you know I've been looking at the bravissimo one almost every day, that one and one other one. Tell me please, is that one black or navy?

I was unsure how flattering it would be but I do love a good polka dot

OP posts:
Myshitisreal · 25/06/2021 17:08

This is the other one but the floofy little sleeve puts me off a bit. Plus I do love to procrastinate www.bravissimo.com/products/lola-jumpsuit-pd876/#blackwhite-pd876bwh

OP posts:
Zeldaaa · 25/06/2021 17:09

@Myshitisreal the first one ( cropped legs) is black

The second one I believe is navy - they call it ‘midnight’

Myshitisreal · 25/06/2021 17:14

Ahhh crap is that what midnight means. I'm not really a navy wearer

BakeOffRewatch · 25/06/2021 18:38

Those Bravissimo ones are lovely! They do really great fit.
