Delightful Dungaree rediscovery

Someone said they are sexless above. It does depend abit what you wear underneath. A floaty blouse which gives a contrast is good. in addition to my two "good" pairs I also have some khaki ones that my mother bought years ago to wear to clean in. I wear them to decorate and they are quite paint splattered. For some odd reason they have a devastating effect on DH - something to do with latent memories of Felicity Kendal in The Good Life!

I’m a big fan of dungarees. I’m currently wearing the 2020 gap denim ones with a neon top.

I love dungies, but my belly is too fat now and I just know I would look like a tellytubby.

I wore them all the time in the 70s and 80s and still enjoy wearing them. Lucy&Yak do some great styles

I wore them too in the 80s.

You look fabulous

I am perfectly sure that even at the age of 68 I would feel like an expectant mother in dungarees. They were the in maternity wear in the 1970s.

You’ve MADE me look but £150! Don’t think so. However, it did lead me to look on eBay which culminated in me buying a Toast Denim dress with the straps as on dungarees! I hope it fits and I don’t look ludicrous! Please don’t talk about nice clothes, I have to buy them!

In my opinion never too old. My daughter treated me to jumpsuit for my 60th ... wearing it makes me feel 18 again ?

I wore them in the late 70s as a student & then when pregnant in the early 80s. Personally, I find them unattractive on older people, they look rather silly IMO but that's just me - if you think you look good in them, just wear them, it's none of my business!

I bought a couple of boiler/jump suits recently which I am pleased with. This is the better one. It’s smart enough for lunch out and very comfortable. (From Monsoon)

Well I have just bought 2 mini skirts and wear them with cable tights. When asked for approval my DD said that I have good legs so should show them off!

The only time I wore them was when I was pregnant! I don't think it's a look I'll go for

I had a pair as a teenager (late seventies, early eighties) and my very traditional grandmother called it a boiler suit. She was the same lady who at a later date thought she was being so helpful when she sewed up all the tears in my cousin's distressed jeans. I couldn't wear dungarees now as lipoedema has completely distended my already ample bottom and I couldn't inflict the sight of that in dungarees on the innocent public!

HannahLoisLuke have a look on ASOS, reasonable prices and the tall section is very good.

I want some dungarees but I'm only 5ft 2in and size 12, so has anyone else this size found ones that fit and if so where from.

Another vote for dungarees, I bought a lovely linen pair in Spain last year whilst on holiday. I get lots of compliments when I wear them but they are only suitable for summer due to material and colour, they are oatmeal colour.

Sorry, it's a no, not ever for me.

Never worn them as I'm tall 5'9" with a long body and always thought they'd cut into me at the crotch!
Perhaps I should try on a pair and see if they'd fit.

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.

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

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

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 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!

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