What dungarees do you like? (with clips not ties if possible)

[ShinyMe]

I really want some dungarees. But I'm almost 50, and am short (5'2) and round (18-20 with a big bust) and don't really know where to start, not having worn dungarees since the early 90s.

I like the look of Lucy & Yak ones, but I think that the ties would be bloody annoying when you need the loo, so I'd prefer ones with clips that do up quickly.

If possible, I don't want ones that are totally shapeless, or that are very baggy at the back - I'd like a little bit of shape at the waist if possible.

Can anyone here recommend something from personal experience please?

Following, I'm a bit taller and 50..

I am slightly shorter and have these.

You don't need to untie the ties on the Lucy and yak ones, just slip them over your shoulder when you need the loo

I wear Lucy and Yaks, the ties are super simple, just slip them off when you need a wee!
They are very comfortable!

Oh! It never occurred to me that you could get the L&Y ones off without untying them! That's it, I might have to get some now!

It didn't occur to me that you could just slip them off! I have a nice pair from Seasalt that I was going to send back because I could not deal with taking them off numerous times a day but may keep them now

I really dislike the look of the ties on the L&Y ones, to the point I have considered getting some and adding my own clips. 🤔

I think I like the look of the ties - they seem a bit more casual. I'm not keen on them when they're all bow-y though. I think I'm going to have to get some.

Definitely don't need to untie the loops on L&Y.

I have some non-L&Y ones that are more fitted that have a jumpsuit-like front zip, and those are easy for going to the loo (H&M, but I sized down, and the strap holders slide down as I wear them, which I need to sort out).

(like these on ebay)

Run and Fly!!! AMAZING designs with clips not ties and they have a great selection!! X I wear dungarees probably 4 times a week!!

I'm not convinced that the hole that fits my shoulders will fit round my middle without untying the straps, but I think I've been wanting these for so long that I need to just get some!

@ShinyMe , follow the size guide on their website. The styles are loose, and are meant to be. If you look at the photos, they suit all the models.

I wear the ones from Jaki of London. They came in loads of colours and last brilliantly

Thanks - they're one of the few that actually show fat people wearing them (that I've found so far). Not too many short people, but I'm used to that...

Ooooh, now these look interesting, thank you!

Fat Face Lewes, I'm a bit taller than you (5'6") and long in the body, and I find these so comfy. I've tried other brands and found them too short in the body for me.

Vote for Fat Face Lewes here too - they have a short length for us shorties!

I have some from Kit & Kaboodal and Lovely Eira.

Both have ties but they are soooooo comfortable

Fat Face Lewes for the win ! 5’2 , 55 , size 14 . I tried them on to prove to my husband how stupid I’d look on them, but they looked great if I do say so myself. Very flattering.

I should be going near a Fatface this weekend, so I may try some on. I can't put my finger on what I don't think I like about the look of them though, there's something I'm not keen on in the photos... Will check out the others recommended now too. I was all set to buy the yaks last night but the ones I wanted were out of stock in my size.

I bloody love dungarees! I’m 52 and 5 foot (on a good day 😁). I’ve got some black ones from New Look and they’re fab, really light and flowing and only £23.99. Highly recommend!

Fat Face Clayton dungarees are amazing.

Another vote for Jaki dungarees - I absolutely love them. I'm 5'4". The straps just go over my shoulders when i need to use the loo.

PS I have the 'boyfriend' jersey type, not the linen ones

5“3 and 45 .. have these in vintage pale & love wearing them.
