Best jumpsuit

I am hugely in love with this culotte jumpsuit, which I bought in a Tall from Asos.com to incorporate my stupid long back. The regular size did, in fact, fit fine but the Tall one is that bit more comfy.

It looks like it might a bit dicey to wear with a bra, but in fact the knotted front – if you leave the ends long  conceals any bra connective tissue, so as long as you’re wearing one in nude it looks fine.

On sale now for only £20!

    Lurve the colours and is gorgeous, but the thought of exposing any area of midriff …frankly, those days are over for me!!

      Seriously it’s barely exposing at all. Really – I am with you on the exposure thing and it’s very modest. You’d look awesome in it!!

    I am still perplexed by how popular jumpsuits are. I cannot get over how much of a faff it must be to get almost entirely undressed each time you need a wee…?

    I find if I tie the knot around the bra it helps in hiding it.

    That definitely looks like a sitting-down-thin outfit. Even when not pregnant I can only manage standing-up-thin outfits, alas. Looks lovely.

    I ordered my first consignment from ASOS just for this culotte ensemble. Am I deluded or are their sizes erratic? I am size 10 but in it I definitely need a 12. It maybe didn’t help that I was massively pre-menstrual when I tried it on. Bloaterama. The hat I bought in a “large” perched on top of my head. Though I do have an inordinately big head and masses of hair. The Superga trainers, I bought in my size and I was swimming in them. The only thing that fitted was the bikini. I probably won’t be swimming in that. All said and done, I love the culottes and shall definitely get them in a bigger size.

    By the way, what do you mean by “Tall” size? I only saw 8/10/12 etc.

      I don’t find asos sizes massively more erratic than any sizing when buying online (i.e. very erratic). to find the Tall jumpsuit you have to search for “Influence Tall culotte jumpsuit” as it’s in their tall range xxx

    Got this today & have to say it’s perfect! I ordered the tall (ditto the long back), and it’s quite high waisted so even hides my small pregnancy bump. Perfect for summer picnics 🙂
