Jumpsuits!

Buttons at the crotch and split-crotch knickers. Problem solved!

Just thinking about going to the loo in a jumpsuit.
If the top was attached to the bottoms using really nice buttons, that would be useful.... as opposed to buttons at the crotch like a baby-gro...

Oh flip, I've just bought one for my work's Christmas do, tried it on tonight, felt great. The loo thing never crossed my mind until I just read this thread, AND it has a zip at the back!!!!! Wish me luck ;)

No thanks! You really have to be very slender to get away with wearing one of these. I haven't been slender for a good many years now!
And I really could not be doing with having to strip off just to have a pee ?

too clean public loo.

No! too much hassle to go to the loo. Can you imagine having to pull it off in a none to clean public loo to do a pee. Alright for lounging at home.

I had one once. Loved it. Til the car broke down late at night on the M6 and I needed a wee whilst waiting for the rescue people. God knows what they would have thought if they'd arrived and found me half naked and squatting in the long grass...

I have a couple which I also wear with a chunky silver necklace. Being 5"2 in height i have the petite size version which is a perfect length.

The Guardian article on jumpsuits says they would be good for wearing to a picnic. I wouldn't fancy squatting behind a hedge wearing one!

I think jumpsuits had two fashion moments, from what I remember.

I had one in 1969, flares and a halter neck like Coolgran's ( my Gran made it....I wonder if it was the same pattern?!). It was pale blue, slinky material and she made a long scarf to go with it. It was for the sixth form ball (I was in the lower sixth and it was my first big 'do').

The next time round was the early eighties, when I had a couple of boiler suit style jumpsuits. These were just worn every day.

I don't think they are very flattering unless you have a boyish figure (which I never did , at least not after age 13), but that M&S one linked to looks lovely on the model.

Loved them then, still love them now! Had some lovely cotton ones in bright colours when my children were small....imagine going to the loo wearing a jumpsuit with two small girls (also wearing jumpsuits) in a French squatter loo at a motorway service station! Now have one (M & S summer one in blue print material) and the loo is still a problem, especially if you add a belt! I am just under 5'3" and find most of the jumpsuits are made for people with longer bodies and are just too voluminous. Wish I had kept the ones I had!!

I've got one from Wallis in a sort of giraffe print (!) which I wore to a wedding last summer. I'm 5'5" and a size 12/14 and had lots of lovely compliments which really made me feel good, until I wanted to go to the loo which was a complete pain but hey I don't get compliments very often, so well worth the hassle.

I have a black one that I bought from M&Co a couple of years ago. I'm very short but as it's top to toe gives a nice line and actually makes me look taller and slimmer (so they tell me) and with a nice chunky gold coloured necklace or pretty scarf it's very stylish. There is no getting away from that darned loo problem tho.
suzied how I wish I was clever enough to make my own like you!

You're the same shape as me Grannyknot. I might have worn one when I was 5' 4" and a size 10, but not now!

I'm 5'3" and a 14. It didn't even occur to me that I may be too "rotund" to wear a jumpsuit!

My 45 yr old DD1 is only 5ft tall and a size 12. She has a couple of jumpsuits and looks great in them, with well chosen accessories.
As for me - I am far too chunky, and yes, my bum would look too big in one.

My sister plans to wear the M & S jumpsuit at my grandsons evening wedding party in November. I wore one on a plane to Portugal once many years ago- I was terrified the plane would crash and I would have the darned thing round my knees in the toilet. I used to think you needed to be tall to wear one but DD1 (who is officially a munchkin - I have two) wore one to a party a few years ago black silky material it had very wide legs- she accessorised well and it looked very nice and she danced all night in comfort.

I remember first time round too....trying to stop the jumpsuit legs touching the loo floor and as for the sitting there semi- naked

I was probably at least a stone lighter and could wear heels, not any more.

Interesting in the loo I seem to remember.

Not unlike a rather smart culotte dress I had with about 7 buttons up the front and cuff buttons. Also worn with a droopy scarf.

Lovely until I needed the loo whilst out . So grateful if they had a hook on the door....if not had to hold the lot in my teeth.

The joys of being young!

I have a jumpsuit. It's lovely for holidays - sleeveless, floaty and cool. I also dress mine up with a chunky silver necklace

No way - I need to pee too often to be bothered with that battle thank you very much!
