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've found Joanie are good and show clothes with both thin and curvy models.

Those are just a couple of examples they do have loads for sale both colourful and patterned out plain.

I'm curvy and have a few Joanie jumpsuits and they are really flattering and I'm constantly being asked where they are from. Lots of compliments.

I've a couple of jumpsuits, Zodiac and True Love from Hellbunny , never thought I'd wear one as I am plus size but they are quite nice. I did size up and they have also shrunk in the wash which is annoying because clothes ain't cheap! Looking at them now, they might be too short but it's worth trying as you can always send them back.

@GingerCoi I am useless at linking things - I will try - but I can tell you that I recently bought a really nice pair of elasticated waist trousers in a leopard print in NEXT and some lovely tops from M&S which I can mix and match with. I also bought some trousers from M&S which they are selling in black blue and hot pink. They are generous on the waistline and flying off the shelves. You can do so much more with separates IMHO. I don't know about anyone else but when I try a jumpsuit on it makes me look like a teletubby and I am hourglass shaped with a big bust and yes I have given birth so I do have a tummy - not huge by any means but its not going anywhere - no apologies for that - it's a part of my story !
Good look.. and I mean that =- LOOK !!

@Dragonsandcats I went for 14 and it’s got that ribbed effect so the stretch isn’t a problem.

I wore mine yesterday to an event and it definitely doesn’t need ironing and pockets are deep enough for my phone without it falling out so was v happy with it :)

I have a few, a fitted narrowing one with a loud palm print, deep v neck and generous straps as its sleeveless
One that's skinny straps 3/4 wide legs. It skims my body and has a shallow v neck with a ruffle.
A bright blue one with cold shoulder and ruffle on the bust plus
And a bright blue with loud print3/4 wide leg and crossover bag.
I'm a 14/16 same height as you with a bust that's 38D so probably smaller than you but lve a bit of a tum - hope this gives you some ideas.

Unfolded did a lovely one in Collection 06 in green, they've just brought it out again in black. Soft crepey cotton.

Here it is, I have it and it's lovely.

I'm 5'9, size 16-18, F-cup, apple shape. Some jumpsuits do not suit me, but some others very much do!

The oversized boiler-suit cuts from Monki are great if you carry weight round your middle - you can loosely tie the belt to give you a waist, while the loose fabric skims over your tummy. Unbutton a couple of buttons and wear a good bra and they flatter boobs/shoulders. Generous sizing (XL 16-18, XXL 20).

Cons: polyester. Not that warm in winter. Prints are very marmite.

This type of thing:

Tiger print collar jumpsuit - Beige tiger - Monki

A good jumpsuit looks good with any accessories and on any occasion. And this collared jumpsuit with a tiger pattern cropped sleeves, drawstring at the waist and wide legs has all the right boxes ticked. Simply amazing! Relaxed fit. Wide leg. Made wit...
