Long Body Jumpsuit?

14 replies

GatherlyGal · 29/04/2023 22:04

I love a jumpsuit but I must have a long body because they rarely fit.

I also have a menopausal midsection. I should probably give up but just in case has anyone got any to recommend?

Watching.

op are you long legged
too? I’ve been looking at some from Long Tall Sally but not bought yet.

I hope someone comes along with an answer! I have never found a jumpsuit I can wear and I’m not tall, just have a disproportionately long body.

WashAsDelicates · 30/04/2023 15:06

Also watching with interest - another long body here!

Monki are quite good as the crotch is quoted dropped.

Tinysoxx · 30/04/2023 15:11

Quite not quoted!

@Festivalmitch reasonably long legs but I'm not sure I'm tall enough for LTS I'm about 5'8. I'll have a look

@Tinysoxx thanks I've had a look at Monki but I'd like something a bit smarter ideally.

I’ve just bought one from Long Tall Sally. The legs are 36” so I will have to take them up but the body proportions are a good fit on me. I love it.
I’m 5’10.
The length of the body was the issue on others that I had tried.
Definitely worth a try.

Joining to watch. I'm only 5’5” but I've a long torso and short legs. I bought two from M&S not expecting them to fit, and they didn't!

happyshineyperson · 30/04/2023 21:05

I’m 5’6 with short legs and I have never found this, so maybe I’ve been lucky? I’ve got a really nice khaki denim utility jumpsuit from Mango.

Seasalt weren't too bad

All the dresses seem so high on the waists too

Cupcakegirl13 · 30/04/2023 21:19

Next do tall or extra tall ones

mrswishywashywoo · 02/05/2023 20:29

Boohoo do these

Long Tall Sally are for five foot eight and up, so you are tall enough. Most “tall” ranges simply make the legs longer on trousers, or the skirt section longer on dresses, whereas taller women often need the rise on trousers to be lengthened, and the bodice on dresses or shirts. Also the length increases with the dress size, so being a small dress size and tall can be really tricky.
I am the same height as you and I have a jumpsuit from Monki that is fine (a few years old though) and one from Brora that is only just fine. I am a size 12.
My best fitting jumpsuit is from Danish brand Stine Goya. Expensive, but Scandinavian brands tend to cut to a taller body frame.

I'm not that tall but find the waists in the wrong place on dresses. Also with long legs in mind not torsos
