Jumpsuit

Can you attach a thread or ribbon to the zip to facilitate undoing and doing up and then put it down the back of it when you are wearing it??

I was just going to suggest the same thing momb don't take it back Tanith

It really wouldn’t work girls the zip is meant to be invisible it’s so hard to move the zipper part up or down I might check the others to see if it’s just mine that’s so hard to pull if not I shall mention it to customer services. I’m going away at the weekend and OH isn’t coming I don’t fancy asking my son or a stranger to unzip me for a visit to the loo??

You could always wear it back to front tanith?

If you decide to keep it, you may be able to lubricate the zip a little to make it easier. Something like Lakeland’s for Wooden furniture www.lakeland.co.uk/8998/Free-n-Easy-Silicone-Lubricant-For-Wooden-Furniture-35ml?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIprmshdnk2gIVq53tCh2tAwaJEAQYASABEgKiwfD_BwE&src=gfeed&s_kwcid=AL!49!3!255261706992!!!g!296042671099!&ef_id=Wuh2FgAAAeZr5vGN:20180501141342:s

I’ll try that before I take it back annsixty ?

Sorry, couldn’t make the link work!

Oh, and what make was it? I have been looking for one for ages and yours sounds lovely.

Icyalittle I thought about trying polish but thought they might object to the smell if it didn’t work and I asked for a refund.

this is the one it’s a lovely fit too

That's a shame tanith, hope you find something else to wear that you like just as much.

Re hard to pull up or down zips, I always use vaseline, works a treat.

Oh!! what a crying shame Tannith,as soon as I saw the heading I was in here like a shot because I must admit I have a great liking for these Jump suits,what pleases me even more is that my DH thinks they are the best thing ever designed for us ladies!!
On reading further and hearing both your dilemna and disappointment my spirits sank alongside yours.
Indeed this can be one big drawback though if you get one of a material with quite a percentage of lycra or similar they are quite easy to slip in and out of.
I guess that is of no help to you having purchased and obviously love this one you`ve bought............and yes it really is a corker.
My commiserations indeed.
I can but hope out of all the advice you may find a solution.
But please do not give up on them,just be a little more canny when next you go looking for another Jump suit, as speaking from experience there are many that have overcome this same dilemna.

Panache I didn’t even think to see if I could wiggle out of it without unzipping I’ll defo give it a try later . As I said it wouldn’t of occurred to me to buy a jumpsuit at my advanced age of nearly 70 but this one just jumped off the rail at me ??

I do not wish to hear you call your years "an advanced age" Tannith!!! I am almost 10 years older and jumpsuits are my best friend!!!
You are not alone in making this innocent mistake but please,please do not let it put you off, as quite obviously you were very taken with it and I think that speaks loads.
Go for it lass!

tanith I wouldn't try the spray if you need to take it back...

I also found a lovely jumpsuit last year fitted perfectly and very comfy to wear.
But I have RA so back zips are a problem ....
Not any more
When I go to the ladies I politely ask some inside to undo and someone else to do up.
It a great way to get chatting to people who are always pleased to help

Tanith I agree with the suggestions of lubricating the zip. I’ve used wax crayons or candles in the past & that has worked well.
Good luck!

An advert for a navy and white striped jumpsuit has just appeared below the thread

Haha that doesn’t surprise me janeainsworth
Mary59nana not sure I have the gumption to ask someone to unzip me but I’m certainly going to give it some thought.

I’ve got s couple of jumpsuits and love them, one is a jersey one you can just pull on and off no fastenings I think I got it in Uniqlo. I’ve got a silk evening one with a belt I made myself and I put in a side zip.

I have one which I bought for hols. I love it. No zips. You just step into it and can sort of just pull it down and back up easily to go to the loo. I've had it a while though and can't remember where it's from.

Just remembered I have two Both summery pull-on-and-offable.

I'd love a jump suit, but think I'd look like a refugee from the 40's. Now all I need would be the headscarf. . So it will be a no from me then.

I've just bought my 3rd jumpsuit - this one is black and floral, the other 2 are black and sage green. They are all by Kim & Co and designed to slip off and on with no fastenings. As I practically spend all day back and forth to the loo they'd be useless if I couldn't get them off quickly
