HELP! Saw my dream outfit on the school run

75 replies

niccstar3000 · 14/06/2025 09:38

I need a hive mind to help me source part of this outfit, please! Oh and my dream outfit is pretty simple, nothing magnificent 😁

So, I saw a woman on the school this week and was unable to ask her (darn it) where her linen/linen look dungarees are from. Since I have searched Vinted, Ebay and Google shopping and I can't find anything even similar, so I guess they are quite old.

Has anyone seen, or own and don't want anymore a pair of dungarees that look like this:

Dark blue, linen, relaxed fit (so no defined waist) sort of cuffed or elasticated bottoms that were, on her, lower calf length, and had a bib at the front but just crossed braces style straps at the back.

I hope this description is good enough, I can try again if not. Thanks so much everyone, I feel very strongly like i need this item of clothing!!! I turned 40 in December and appear to be trying to reinvent my style!

These are almost there, but it's the back - I particularly wanted the 'backless' variety as I struggle with my stomach and I feel like these style ones emphasise it and I think other people care. My most annoying hang up 🙄

I'm kicking myself for not! Hopefully I'll recognise her wearing something else, I was so busy staring at the clothes 😂

Sorry long link :D whistles rita dungarees are great for summer. Lovely and light.

FeyreandRhysand · 14/06/2025 22:04

Search for previous season jumpsuits / Dunagrees on Vinted from Seasalt, they’ll be linen. Not sure about cuffed though.

Rufusroo · 15/06/2025 10:44

These are on Amazon

These are the most similar I've seen so far. Thank you!

With respect, OP, you’re only 40!

I hope it’s not these! They are very ugly!

To be fair, they all are. It baffles me why any woman would want to wear something like these apart from around the house. I get they’re probably comfortable, although you have to take them off to go to the loo, so not that practical.

I can only think people think they look quirky and cute?

Unless you have a magnificent figure (in which case why would you hide it) they just don’t in my opinion.

There are lots and lots of options on Free People. X
