Flattering jumpsuit?

9 replies

I have recently listened to 3st and gone from a size 18/20 to a comfy 16. Am now a healthy bmi as am 5ft8.

So, am wondering if there’s such a thing as a flattering jumpsuit for strong, healthy body shape with boobs?

I have admired the jumpsuit aesthetic for years - but always avoided as at a bigger size thought I’d look like a large toddler.

Any recommendations in this quest would be hugely appreciated. Shops i love include scamp & dude, oliver bonas, boden, hush, disko kids, and/or Albaray m&s….

One thing to watch out for with jumpsuits is that they can look great from the front, but really unflattering from the back. Make sure you have mirrors set up so you can see the back, or ask someone you trust to tell you the truth!

I have a couple of Halara ones, although I intend to drop the crotch as I'm VERY big on top. I'm told returns can be a bugger though.

I love a jumpsuit and have several. I think you need to try on different styles and see what suits you. Fit is really important - particularly waist and crotch position.Also suggest look at
Sleeves or no sleeves
Structured or loose
Wide leg or narrow or cuffed leg

For me, I need a wide or straight leg and either short sleeves or sleeveless. Anything else just doesn’t suit me.

I’d recommend one that ties at the waist to give a bit of shape.

I love Free People jumpsuits - I'm also 5ft 8 and they fit me really well. Their size M is about a 12/14 so a Large might be good for a size 16. Always a few on Vinted - I've had a couple from there. Also try Sugarhill/Sugarhill Brighton - again a good fit height wise.

I have a few Halara jumpsuits, I love them for travelling as they have ones that you keep the jumpsuit on and just pull down the bum bit for going to the loo. Hot Squash jumpsuits are great too.

I have this one from white stuff, it's gorgeous, comfy and really flattering!
