Really want to wear a jumpsuit for an upcoming daytime casual event - not looking for an evening wear type jumpsuit and would like to wear white trainers with it. Any ideas for something that will suit my size and shape gratefully received.

I have this and it's very flattering and comfortable. I'm a 12 with very big bust and post partum mum tum.

These are lovely but I tend to avoid buttons over the bust as they always gape and look awful ...

I have a couple of jumpsuits by Somerset by Alice Temperley - cross bodice, shirred waist, wide leg and they are very flattering.

I have this, it’s super flattering. Runs big so size down, and roll up the legs.

Theduchy · 31/05/2023 16:49

I have the same problems with buttons but these haven't gaped on me.

PreVerbalGerbil · 31/05/2023 17:08

I’m slightly bigger but same height. I like Popsy jumpsuits for casual, jersey so stretchy and no risk of getting stuck (is that just me?!)

I’ve also just bought this from JL which is flattering and easy to dress up or down and really good for the price

Have a look at Phase Eight, I have a couple of them with buttons and they don’t gape. I’m big busted but because they are loose they fit fine, very flattering actually!

i am 5’6, 14-16 and a big bust and tummy :)

I just got some clothes from Joe Browns and tried them on 10 minutes ago, two looked really nice - the first isn’t a jumpsuit but flattering and v comfy (with pockets!) so I’ll throw on

the second one is a jump suit and that also looked nice :) and also had pockets!

I’m a 16, big bust and too much belly. Got the most gorgeous black jumpsuit from Vinted. It’s from HOBBS. I bought a sleeveless one but loved it so much that I bought another with sleeves. It’s like heavy jersey, so flattering.

These are lovely and worth the investment https://beyondnine.co.uk/collections/jumpsuits I got one when pregnant but have bought more since as I loved it so much- I have a savannah in linen for summer, a poppy for everyday and a Laura in a thicker material for winter - now eying up a Frankie!!!

Maybe its just me being silly but I can't think of anything worse for a woman with a fuller figure to wear than a jumpsuit. So many lovely trousers in the shops with elasticated waists for tummies and gorgeous tops that are very forgiving on the huge bust. Plus you don't almost pee yourself getting them off and you can mix and match whereas with a jumpsuit you are limited - totally limited.

Nofixedabodewell · 01/06/2023 14:00

I agree. Most jumpsuits won’t skim a big belly and won’t look good with a big bust either.

I'm almost sure you're wrong - can anyone post pictures of themselves in these recommended jumpsuits?

CuteCillian · 01/06/2023 17:33

This jumpsuit looks amazing on a curvy body, and skims beautifully.

14-16, 5ft7, big bust, big tummy - recommend me a jumpsuit?
Softoprider · 01/06/2023 17:46

She doesn't have a large bust or tummy

That is hilarious @Softoprider. Those ladies with the fuller figure really ought to know better.

Love that your advice is to wear elasticated trousers instead 😂. Do you know what a curvy 14/16 looks like? OP is 5'7" and I'm sure looks fabulous in a jumpsuit.

Vintagecreamandcottagepie · 01/06/2023 17:59

I found a really flattering jumpsuit in next, they've got quite a few if you can get down there for a browse...

And FYI, I'm a size 16 and look amazing in it!

Softoprider · 03/06/2023 09:02

I'm a curvy 14-16 @GatherlyGal and I would* *not be seen dead in a jumpsuit

YorkieTheRabbit · 03/06/2023 09:22

I really like the idea of a jumpsuit, the JL is lovely, but I think the reality is that I’d look like Humpty Dumpty.

Wrong!

Have a look on Instagram at all shapes and sizes wearing the Zadie Jumpsuit by Paper Theory and the Sirrocco jumpsuit by Deer and Doe.

They are both 'make your own' jumpsuits so no help to the OP unless she is handy with a sewing machine but they are absolutely drafted with the curvy shape in mind, both include wrap style shaped bodices and shaping below the waist that is flattering to curvier stomachs and bottoms.

Cider have some nice ones. I ordered sone but they are not here yet. Shipping takes a while.
