Delightful Dungaree rediscovery

My daughter ( pregnant???) wears dungarees from Lucy and Yak, they look great!
May have to consider, thought I was too old. ?

I've never wor them. I always thought I was too short. They look good on tall people though. My sister wore them in the 70's, she is 5' 7" tall.

I wore dungarees through the 70s with Clark’s desert boots, through four pregnancies in the eighties with ankle boots and trainers, and I would love to wear them now, but I just don’t have the right shape any more! I bought some from Toast, but the top bit was too big, and I couldn’t go any smaller because my bottom is the size of Wales. Have fun in your dungas!

Somebody here bought a pair and posted a pic, and she looked really, really good in them.

These are from Gap. I thought I was too old as well, it seems I’m not, yay

Oh dear Dora, only the size of Wales? Mine must be at least the wholemof the UK.

Dora and Grey ... I think I’m European sized ...

Well, I’ve bought a pair, from Toast. Dark denim, quite a loose fit, and I love them! They must be a different fit from the ones I tried on the summer, because the top is fine. Wearing them with Blundstone boots now ( só comfortable, like wearing slippers) and high-tops later.

Are these back! I have fond memories of my lovely brown cotton dungarees, with rolled up hems, worn with big baggy t shirts and boots! Anyone got a link to some good ones that they'd recommend?

Love the look! Good for you. You should take a photo of all of you together in your overalls.

I wore them a lot when I was younger. Now I am a different shape I think it’s a no-no for me. Also what a faff when going to the loo with straps dangling all over the place and dungaree legs falling to the floor while clinging onto afore mentioned straps before they sink into the loo ?

Chewbaccamine are from Toast. Gap does them, and Whistles have some black corduroy ones currently at 20o/o off.

I also wore them in the 70s, but the business of going to the loo is putting me off wearing them now. Also, they are very sexless, not that I want to look sexy at my age. Dungarees always make me think of Kiki Dee in the Don´t go Breaking my Heart video, obviously, she had no attraction to Elton John or he to her.

I think they look awful on anyone over 10 years old.Sorry!
It’s the unappealing look of a Quick Fit Fitter.

Those are boiler suits lemon, not dungarees! but now I'm not so sure

I wore them all the time I was pregnant in the 80s. Really comfortable and I thought I looked fantastic. My older family were quite shocked though because you could see my bump
How things have changed (for the better) I might add. I love to see pregnancy bumps

Might have to look into them.
I have a recent colostomy and have yet to find anything other than trackie bortoms (not a good look), that is comfy over it.

I live on a narrow boat and my baggy heavy cotton dungarees are perfect for my life. They are so comfortable. I wore them to my youngest daughter's and she said they are really fashionable. I have some summer weight ones for when the weather warms up. I can sing their praises all day

Just going to look online for a pair.....

I had a lovely lemon pair in the 70's and beginning of the 80's that I loved and even wore them when pregnant but being somewhat larger I wouldn't wear them now.
I am trying to get up the courage, as a plus sized woman, to buy a jumpsuit from Kim &Co that I have seen on a certain shopping channel that one of my friends (also plus sized) swears by - she has quite a collection now!

I loved them in the 70s, and had several pairs, including some Levi branded ones. When l was expecting my Daughter in 1988, Mothercare Maternity clothing range included both Dungaree trousers and the same type.of style as a maternity pinafore dress, which made a nice cle er way to mix and mat h with my existing t-shirts and tops to make a varied and practical wardrobe for all.occasions. The dress type were in the practical colours of Navy and Grey, and they lasted me through two pregnancies before l handed them over to my eldest daughter in 1994 when she was expecing her first son.
Im a plus size large lady now, and l doubt that l would find a pair of dungarees to fit me, most of the fashion shop sizes stop at a size 16/18.

I agree with Lemongrove although I would add a few years...25. Post a picture and prove us wrong! ?

Beverley Hillbillies comes to mind..... ??

I’m not about to talk about dungarees but jackets.I took a chance on a “young” jacket. Biker. It is great. It was cheap but good. It came from BM. Look for discount vouchers too. Bestbuy in last year or so.
