I think you knew you were going to buy them Suzied but good old GN can help the thought processes ( either for or against.)
Are they for around the house and garden or will you go out in them? Remember not to put your jumper on over the top, as another poster pointed out on the first thread.??

They look great! I bought a pair recently from Toast, inspired by an old photo of me in the 1970s wearing Falmers’ dungarees, but alas they didn’t look good - perhaps because in the 1970s I was three sizes smaller than I am now! I’ve just bought the M&S denim jumpsuit, though.

With that figure and those long legs you'd look good in anything.

Very stylish outfit on you.

On me, they'd be down to my ankles and very Minion-looking!

Looking good

Luckylegs Mon 25-Feb-19 23:32:12

Where are they from? I might have a look.........!

grannyqueenie Mon 25-Feb-19 21:32:50

If I looked as good as you do in profile. suzied, then I might be seriously tempted!

MissAdventure Mon 25-Feb-19 21:11:40

Oh, I meant the other thread.

MissAdventure Mon 25-Feb-19 21:11:09

Somebody mentioned them the other day, Hildaw i think. smile
Might even have been on this thread.

suzied, Good for you, buying them!

MissAdventure, Dexy's Midnight Runners, that's a blast from the past. I do like them!

MissAdventure Mon 25-Feb-19 19:55:55

Oh, and, I think David Essex.
I seem to remember he always looked rather fetching in 'dungees'.

MissAdventure Mon 25-Feb-19 19:54:09

You're probably one of the few people who is absolutely made for dungarees.
Were you ever in Dexy's Midnight Runners? smile
They really do look great.

I used to love my dungarees when I was younger. They look lovely on you Suzie, but not for me now. My daughter keeps telling me that I'm too frumpy, but I call it comfy.

They look great!

Mapleleaf Mon 25-Feb-19 17:53:13

They look very nice on you, suzied. I bet you are glad you bought them! ?

NotAGran55 Mon 25-Feb-19 17:08:52

You look fantastic Suzied - I’m so pleased you bought them smile Oh to be tall and slim ....

Kittye Mon 25-Feb-19 16:39:28

They look good on you suzied I’d love to wear something like that but I’m afraid I’m like PECS short and plump. If I was slim like you I’d definitely go for it !

PECS Mon 25-Feb-19 16:30:24

I would love to wear them and look lovely.. but a short and plump body is not right ...though I wore some when pregnant! ?

mcem Mon 25-Feb-19 16:23:34

Na aah - not for me
You look fine in them (I like the t-shirt) but they're something I'd only wear for scruffy stuff like cleaning or gardening.
But chacun à son goût! Enjoy!

Annapops Mon 25-Feb-19 16:17:34

You look fabulous in them. We'll done.

PamelaJ1 Mon 25-Feb-19 16:09:24

They do look good.
Lisagran maybe she was just wondering whether to invest in some Tena ladies? I think the concensus of opinion was yes!!

Lisagran Mon 25-Feb-19 15:58:31

You look great in them; they really suit you / you look very at ease in them. I’m not sure why you put up the original post - if I tried something on and I looked liked that, I’d just go for it!

Ilovecheese Mon 25-Feb-19 15:42:03

Well done, you look great.

tanith Mon 25-Feb-19 15:37:34

Brilliant you look great in them ?

suzied Mon 25-Feb-19 15:20:21

I don’t care if I look like a minion, a plumber or if my face frightens the horses- I’m loving my dungarees! I went back and bought them after I asked my ED if I should - she said, “ mum, you always wear really cool stuff- and I can have them if you get fed up with them,”.
