I've Always Thought Hell Would Freeze Over Before I Bought Dungarees But....

[Mercurial123]

Due to side effects of Tamoxifen for breast cancer I need a hysterectomy. It's going to be robotic and will be having scars on my stomach.

Looking for jersey as it's so soft. I'm 5' 9". Size 8/10 pear shaped long bodied.

I quite like these. Is there anything else anyone can recommend? Budget up to £100. Not sure I will wear them much after recovery.

I have some black cord ones from Next, bought them after Gallbladder removal as had cuts in bellybutton, bra line between boobs and 2 more on right side of abdomen so everything with a waist line was uncomfortable.

I really like them, so comfy and easy to wear.

Beyond nine, they are maternity but are OK if not pregnant or whitestuff selina jumpsuit which I have, it's so comfy and flattering sorry can't do links!

These aren’t jersey but they are such a soft comfortable cotton. Might be easier to style with boots for winter compared to Jersey ones. I’m wearing them now

I also have some cord ones from Zara (not current season) which would fit your brief. I’m long bodied too but the adjustable straps have meant that’s not an issue.

I hope your operation goes well and you recover quickly.

I have some from Lucy locket loves and they are very very soft even though not jersey

[PeachMelba78]

These aren’t jersey but are super comfy and very flattering, and a great price too -

Really love my Lucy and Yak corduroys in the original style. So very soft and no waste band or anything that rubs/creates pressure on the abdomen.
I wear them over Uniqlo heattech jersey tops and find they don’t ride up under the dungas

[Mercurial123]

Thanks everyone for some great options. I really want jersey so ended up buying these.

I used to think the same but last month I bought some Lucy and Yak dungarees just to try - I love them and am now eyeing up another pair. Not so keen on the bright colours though. I have black and would like some green cord ones.

[Chocolatecoatedkettlebell]

@prettypinkflamingo I have Green Bay cords and find it works well as a neutral colour so very easy to wear.

[prettypinkflamingo]

@Chocolatecoatedkettlebell I'm so tempted and the Klarna option makes it even easier. Argh!

[KirstenBlest]

I think that Alyson Walsh has recommended those @Mercurial123.

I'm a happy dungaree wearer and can recommend the Lucy & Yak ones and their carmen boilersuit is only elasticated at the back

[Mercurial123]

KirstenBlest thanks. Just read the article from 11 September. She really suits them and she says quality is good. Looking forward to trying them.

[KirstenBlest]

I think she gets the clothes right. I'm in the right age-group I suppose and find them a bit 'middle-aged' and 'safe' but can imagine someone much younger wearing them.

Regardless of what my politics are I am a torygraph reader, and don't really 'get' Lisa Armstrong's style but I do Alyson's

[KirstenBlest]

Good luck with the surgery and treatment @Mercurial123

[Busygoingblah]

Not jersey but I also recommend Lucy and Yak. The corduroy or the cotton originals with a long sleeved t shirt underneath are such a comfy outfit and, as a bonus, get a whole lot of compliments.

[TrashyPanda]

Another vote for Lucy and Yak.
Best dungarees ever. I’ve had so many compliments from total strangers when wearing mine.
And I’m a large sized, post-menopausal woman, so it really boosts my confidence.

[KirstenBlest]

I usually get compliments or get asked where I got mine especially if I'm wearing my unique ones

[gunnersgold]

You can get dungarees like that for a tenner on eBay !

[ColleysMill]

Hahahah I live in dungarees!!!

Fat face are good for denim ones but my fave cord ones are from Run and Fly

I'm 43 next week and I don't care. I rock them 😁😁😁

[Stath]

I’ve got two pairs of jersey dungarees from ASOS.
Super comfy and about £25.

[ColleysMill]

Oh and personally I like to wear a bodysuit under mine. Long or short sleeved - stops the issue of tops scrunching up underneath them

Have you got any?

In my experience, they will be polyester or mainly polyester and of poor quality.

[nordica]

I have a super comfortable pair from Thunder Egg. The only caveat is that they are a "one size fits all" type - at 12/14 and 5ft3 I'm probably just in the middle of the size range so they fit me well, but I can't imagine them fitting everyone. They are cotton jersey.

I bought some v similar (perhaps a bit nicer ) for £29!

www.turtledovelondon.com/collections/ladies-dungarees

I see they're now £35 but you can get 20% - v soft and much more useful than I thought.

Good luck with your treatment (and dungaree hunt) op
