Does this jumpsuit look okay?

Or does it make me look like a "fat crocodile", as per my DP's analysis?

It was a Vinted find and now I'm not too sure

Very flattering you look amazing and really slim. Partner sounds like an arse.

I feel like some strappy heels might go well with it.

You mean snappy heels?

The jumpsuit looks .. ok. Could definitely do better. The fat comment is uncalled for.

Shinytaps · 13/07/2023 18:37

I like it but I think it would look better if it was shorter in the leg. Defo not a fat crocodile!

BlastedPimples · 13/07/2023 18:46

You're so slender.

I like the jumpsuit but I dislike one breast pocket on any clothing.

DurhamDurham · 13/07/2023 18:57

It brings to mind Top Gun tor me Grin but tbh you'd look great in most things because you're v slim meaning you can wear most styles.

Nobody could make that look good

You would be fighting a losing battle trying.
What was it about it that drew you to it?

Designed for a chimney sweep.

I want a khaki jumpsuit. I'm going for a kind of land girl, GI Jane vibe.

It seems like I've ended up somewhere in thr region of a shapeless Top Gun extra who might do a bit of plumbing on the side. Not what I was after!

Mine came from Finisterre. The Pennan one in cotton.

I think it needs styling up a bit. I'm not one to tell a woman to take off her cozy socks but I'm not sure what the fleecy trainer socks are adding 🤣
Try with no vest top, slightly more unzipped, birkenstocks or other clumpy sandals, a big bangle or dangle necklace. And roll the sleeves up to the elbow.

Sleeves rolled up to the elbow will make OP look like a plumber. Rolled down she does MOTs or possibly handles baggage at an airport.

I love a jumpsuit, and you couldn't look like a fat anything.

noglow · 14/07/2023 06:23

Looks a bit plumberey

gerispringer · 14/07/2023 06:36

We had a female plumber who wore a pink sparkly jumpsuit. This one looks like you’re about to fix the car. It’s a no from me, but if you like it why worry.

zerocapacity · 14/07/2023 07:09

I know you didn't intend this but I'm finding some of the comments really funny now.
This thread is making me really laugh 😆😆
No offence to you as you look great just in anytime but that jumpsuit/boiler suit/plumber uniform/military uniform.
The comment about blue fleece socks too😂

crostini · 14/07/2023 07:11

There is no way on earth that you look fat.

But I don't like it. But if you do, that's what matters! 😄

Pose 1 looks good

zerocapacity · 14/07/2023 07:15

Reading the whole thread back is hilarious

Showthemwhoyoucalldaddy · 14/07/2023 07:21

I love it and you look amazing! Your 'd'p probably knows that...

TerfIngOnTheBeach · 14/07/2023 07:25

I actually really like it and my first thoughts were, lovely, but I could never pull this off, I would have to be as tall and slim as the OP!

you made me laugh at the Top Gun plumber.

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 14/07/2023 07:29

Oh, btw, I own a couple of boilersuit-style jumpsuits and my DH always says I look like a plumber in them too - a "ninja plumber" in the case of the black one! 😆

I care not. I dress to please me, not him - if I did I'd be in lingerie 24-7 anyway Confused

Hibiscrubbed · 14/07/2023 07:44

Not fat. At all.

The leg length is all wrong, though. Can you roll up so it sits five inches above your ankle and wear with fresh trainers/heels for dressings (not my favourite look but might work)/skate sneakers?

I’d also push the sleeves halfway up my forearms and undo it a bit.

It looks comfy but not very done, so you’ll have to tweak it a bit I think.

Hibiscrubbed · 14/07/2023 07:45

And do something exciting with your hair and wear v large sunglasses.

You're right, I'll just walk around like this all the time every time I'm wearing it.

Right knee bent, right foot slightly askew, right hand in pocket, right shoulder slightly slipped downwards.
Sounds easy - commuting abut 50 miles to work will be no problem. I'll look totally, 100% normal. And no knee or back pain to worry about. I'm pretty confident I can keep that pose going for 10 hours. No problem.
😅😅😅

I have a pair of dungarees which I love. Coupled with my backpack (which I always use because handbags are ridiculous), DP says I look like an over-grown toddler off on a big girl adventure.

I very much take that as a compliment.

He was meaning 'fat' because I usually wear tight sportswear so my silhouette in this looks a lot bigger than usual. And because its a bit baggy around the hips, makes my hips look a lot wider than they are.

I'm really ambivalent. I think I might re-list on Vinted.

But it doesn't. If anything the looseness of ig makes you look a tiny bit on the scrawny side.

LlynTegid · 14/07/2023 14:47

It does not make you look fat one bit. Just seems dull to me.
