Help me find Dungarees for my dd

7 replies

Dd 14 has been asking for dungarees for her birthday but I'm struggling finding any that are not to short in her leg.
She wants baggy dungarees has she has some sensory issues and can't wear tight things.
She's 5ft9 and a size 14.

Lucy and yak do longer leg lengths and lots of different styles

Lucy and Yak for cotton loose fit and longer length option.

DD loves Lucy and Yak, although they are a bit pricey, she buys them herself.

I’ve bought Next tall range, but I was looking at Run & Fly the other day.

My daughter (13) has run and fly dinosaur ones and fox ones. She wears them slightly rolled up with her docs on and everyone comments on them.

I think they would be suitable as they’re unisex so would also be cut long enough for men and women.

I wish I had the courage!

I am a dungaree lover and agree with both Lucy and Yak and Run and Fly. Depending on what your DD wants style wise and given her sensory issues this is my advice:
Softest are always corduroy, that’s probably obvious.
For wider legs L&Y eastons or R&F standard design, noting that eastons have buttons so may not work for your DD.
R&F size guide would be very oversized if followed, I sized down and found them roomy, my mate sizes down twice for a more fitted look (this is just for context)
Eastons also oversized and I found them to be a lot of fabric in my actual size and a good fit in a size down but that is where the buttons plus sensory issues may be incompatible.
L&Y Atlas are the oversized version of the original style. These are my favourite and on my size 10 body the 8-10 size is the perfect balance of oversized and flattering. These are 100% my favourites (washed black).
Also worth pointing out that The ties don’t need to be undone for taking them off, you just slide off the shoulders.
