Awful green jumpsuit?

[user1471867483]

I bought a safari-style jumpsuit similar in colour to this (below) - (this is not the jumpsuit btw). My mum can't stand the colour of it and says because I'm so fair, the colour doesn't suit me. I was thinking of dyeing it. What colour should I dye it to?

Agree. The OP has said upthread that it's linen but from the pics it really doesn't look like linen – doesn't drape anything like that fabric and also looks much thicker. It might possibly be a linen mix (with linen just a small percentage of the mix) but it looks much more like a synthetic material. Either way, dying it isn't a good idea as synthetic fabrics don't take dye well at all.

@NonsuchCastle , @LuckyAnt , the link in the OP is not to the actual jumpsuit.

If you are a 'summer' colouring then a forest/pine green would go better with your colouring. Or charcoal grey or navy - but I get what people are saying about the dye not giving a true colour over the existing khaki.

OP doesn't have that jumpsuit from that site - she was just demonstrating the kind of colour .

Everythings 5pounds?

Charity it

It's a site selling overstocks @FelixDoublyDelicious .

It's actually changed its name now and very little of the stuff they sell is as cheap as a fiver any more.

Oh yes, sorry about that.

I go out to town in my pyjamas, The wife really gets annoyed at me ,,my response is ,i wear what i feel comfortable in,,,what do you wear what makes your partner annoyed?What do you think about me wearing my pyjamas to go town?

OP, do YOU like the colour on yourself? If so, wear it, enjoy it, and find some good accessories to flatter your colouring. I'm freckly fair with a slight pink undertone and wear a lot of green. With that yellow-green I'd wear my silk chiffon scarf in pink and deep rose with olive leaves; my Liberty twill scarf in mint, turquoise and caramel; my glass-bead necklace in predominantly red with pale blue, forest green and silver beads. You've picked a good neutral, so have fun with it and ignore your mum's strictures.

That's a nice shade. Go for it. I'm going to keep my green one the way it is.

It doesn't suit people with winter colouring. I dislike that colour as it makes me look washed out. However, it would suit DD.

It is!

As long as you're clothed, who cares.

Sounds lovely. I'm definitely going to keep mine the colour that it is.

I agree. Do you think it looks okay OP? That's all that matters, you're the one wearing it, not your mum.

Are you living at home? If not then just wear it on days you're not seeing your Mum!

I buy a few bits from there, I never know where things are from, how did you work it out, I've reverse searched things and never had any luck finding out.

I just received an order from them y'day. I ordered three dresses (£3.30 each). I like two of them but not one of them. I usually give to charity what I don't like as it's not worth sending back for a refund.

It's very hit and miss isn't it. I've got a couple of dresses coming today that were £3ish too.
Have you seen that they've rebranded and prices have gone up a lot!

It certainly is. They need to change the company name as nothing is £5 any more.

Oh nice - are they summer dresses/winter?

I’m only here to say thank you for the Famous Blue Raincoat earworm.

Most of my wardrobe is that colour, I have fair skin. I don’t listen to fashion advice from my mother 😬

And neither will I 😉
