Anyone been to Lapland for the day?

I’m off to Lapland for the day and am panicking about what to wear. Any thoughts from anyone who’s been? I’m a size 20 and have lipoedema (so very heavy legs) so I CAN’T/WON’T wear leggings…. I have thermals but I’m not sure what clothes to put over them.
I’m also panicking that the ski suit thing they give you to wear over your clothes won’t fit me 😩

I've been, I wore thermals and then skinny leather look jeans over the top and a jumper, and a duvet type coat. Hat and scarf and thermal gloves.

At the resort they give you the snowsuit and you really wouldn't be able to manage outside without it. They did have loads and loads of sizes and their were men with us with very big legs who were able to get suits so I would assume you would be OK.

One tip I have is that me and DS had our own snow boots and gloves which saved a lot of time queuing to get them, they are in lidl at the moment.

Also inside the grotto is really warm, I wish I'd had a layer under my jumper so I could have taken it off.

I can't remember if this was to do with us or in general (we went as a charity group for children with medical needs) but there was either nowhere to check your bag, the line was insane, or I needed the bag for DS's supplies and should have brought a smaller one with the bigger one.
But I remember being roasting hot, carrying a really heavy bag and being so flustered.

So in all.

Yes I think a snowsuit will fit
Maybe wear tracksuit bottoms or other trousers you are comfy in.
Bring a cooler layer for inside
Try and get your own boots and gloves to save time.
Bring a small bag - there must have been lockers or something I missed

Have an amazing time,!!! I always thought it was a complete racket but OMG it is so so so fantastic, magical and beautiful.

We went, not for the day but stayed one night. The ski suits come in every size imaginable so you'll be fine. All the kit they give you will keep you lovely and warm.

Thank you both so much for replying, I appreciate it! I’m off to Lidl tomorrow to see if we can get boots/gloves - that’s a great tip, thanks. I’m feeling a bit more excited now 😀
