I wanted to try out the trend without spending a lot, so I got a pair from Target. They are one of the most comfortable things I own. As long as it's the type you wear a tank underneath, as shown in your picture, public bathrooms are not a big deal. I wouldn't wear a jumpsuit where you have to get naked to pee! Port-a-potties are a non-starter, so I never worry about that.

I am not 6 ft/112 lbs. Not even close.

Go for it.

Jsk, good to know … I’ll see if my Target has any to get an idea of fit. Thank you!

I have had overalls in the past and loved them. I do have the height, but not at 112 lbs. Ever. My last ones and most favorite were linen. I saw someone looking for a pattern to make linen ones last night and if got me thinking about doing the same. I'd say try them. If they fit well they are super comfortable and you have so many options on how much fabric and drape there is, so I suspect most body types can find an appropriate fit.

Oh yes. Back in my younger days which go back to the 70's I sure did, denim of course. Not often but they were a thing then. These are cute and much more feminine. I'm giving you a thumbs up, Jinx!

Jumpsuits made a come back a few years ago and are still around. I do think the bathroom issues keep them from being bigger than they are. Memories of the on and off keep me from going back to that fashion statement. Once you get a certain age you realize ease and comfort are worth more than 'fashion forward'. The overalls you show are very cute--but sooo not what I see on people and mostly when I see them I am not thinking attractive. I never have never would wear them. WAAAY back in the day when they hit the scene as a fashion statement, think '70s, my mom saw some young gals in them and felt sooo sorry they had to wear farmer grandpa's hand me downs. That comment has always STUCK in my brain. I was a tween at the time.

I passed a woman wearing linen overalls last night on my way into a restaurant. She had on a light jean jacket and looked adorable. At least order a pair and see what you think when you try them on.

I would think this style would help visually elongate the wearer.

I saw a 70-ish woman in WalMart yesterday with flowing white hair, a short jeans skirt fringed at the bottom, white Reeboks and white crew socks. She was rockin' it!

I just ordered it, thanks, all. :)

I’ll update with a review … it won’t be here for a couple of weeks.

I think I have a pic of myself wearing overalls while walking down a hallway in college! I had a friend who loved photography... several, actually. I’ll take a look for it sometime. I remember overalls not being the best choice for bathroom use. :p

Party, find it and show us!

Please get them! I looked at that exact garment in the spring when I really wanted something cool with limited waist contact. I decided I couldn't pull it off at my age/dimensions but I bet you can! Come back with pictures please

I will, jmck, thank you! (I’ll bet you’d look great in them.)

She had on a light jean jacket and looked adorable.

I keep trying to pair a jean jacket with trendy new loose fitting clothes, and it just makes me look like somebody trying to dress "Santa Fe" style, not in a good way. it looks so cute on everybody else though!

I just unearthed my Calvin Klein jean jacket from the 1990’s, I was so excited. Vintage! 🤣

I need to drop a few Covid pounds before I can wear it, though. :/

I have my boys Levis jeans jackets from the 80's. They fit me perfectly and I wear them . I also bought two at the GW recently for $5 a piece that are more feminine . I have a beautiful charcoal gray jumpsuit I bought for DD"s wedding 6 yrs ago and I love wearing it. I used to have denim overalls shorts and I sure wish I hadn't donated them !!! I wore them all the time. They were hand me downs from DD. :)

@Jilly can you post a link to the ones you ordered ? Thank you . c

Here it is, C. I can’t link to Big A, so screenshot —

I actually first saw it on Zulily, and was about to order, then decided to do a search on Big A … Zulily has a terrible return policy if it doesn’t fit. Plus, it was a few bucks more, and with no free shipping. (I’ve been very disappointed with them lately.)

I figure I’ll start with an inexpensive set first to see what I think. :)

I really like how it gathers in the front, rather than the straight bib (?) style.

thank you !!! cute and great price!!!

Jinx, I looked, but I only found one photo and it doesn't show the entire overalls. My friend developed his own photography, so it's all in B&W. I was wearing a suede jacket over denim overalls, and I remember adding the birds to the shirt. lol!

I saw the Red Hot Chili Peppers a few days ago, and noticed a few women wearing your overalls. Super cute look, especially with a tank that had some lace on the straps. You will look great!

Party, oh my goodness, you look so cute! (Beautiful hair.) Love that picture, thank you!

Thank you, jo!

Thank you, Jinx! It was fun looking through the old photos. :)

Geez....Jinx....I can't make them for that price. What a great deal! Your gonna be styling in them!

Keela...a neighbor....wore a pair with a flat front. It accentuated her hips....or rather her hip bones, she's really skinny...and it was very unflattering on her. (Needed a butt to fill them out) I think the gathers will be a huge plus to the overall fit...and look.

Thanks, nicole! I do like the gathers.

Party, you looked fabulous in that outfit. And your hair is amazing!

Thank you, Zalco! I’ve always been known for all my curly blonde hair.… it’s never been dyed! And seeing it short like that is making me think about getting some chopped off….

I keep coming across this post without participating because I just want to answer with a single word:

b00b$

😂😂😂

😆

Jinx, I bought this one in navy a few months ago from the big A in Canada for about $25, but I got them to wear around the house and in the garden : ) . They're ankle length, *very* light and airy and excellent during heat waves and heat domes. I did have to shorten the straps.

Love those, Becky! Thanks for showing me! I’m excited to get mine. :)

Update:

Overalls came, overalls suck.

They were too short (I’m average height, but have long legs) … highwaters, and not in a stylish way. The crotch area went from the top of my stomach down and created massive camel toe. The material felt like a grain sack, but very thin. And the wrinkles! They’d need to be ironed every 15 minutes.

I looked like Urkel.

They came USPS and I can just stick them back in the mailbox to return.

Lesson learned — overalls need to be tried on first.

Also, I recovered my desk chair. This was my uncle’s chair on the family ranch, circa 1970’s. I used a faux tooled leather fabric I found on Etsy. The wood was so hard to staple into, I have bruises on my hands and stomach, and possibly a dislocated shoulder.

I’m considering refinishing or painting the china cabinet in there (office/music room).

Awww! What a disappointment!

What, no pic???

Sue, it would get deleted for being obscene.

Actually, now looking at the original model photo all I can see is long camel toe. Thanks.

Oh, ruby. It’s so much worse in person. Much, much worse.

That photo has to be Kardashian-level photoshopped. These would maybe fit a thin 11 yr old.

Yeah...I feel yer let-down Jinx. I made a pair of overalls in a heavy denim, they had a gather in front, about 35 years ago...and they were NOT flattering on me either.

Your upholstery job looks AWESOME! Love your fabric choice. ✨

Thanks, nicole! I found it on Etsy, but of course just that color was out of stock. Took months to get. It’s a great thickness — should wear well, but was supple enough to easily work with. And softer than real leather, but the texture looks just like the real stuff.

We rarely sit at that desk to use the dinosaur computer, though, so it won’t get used much.

We have a western + rock n roll theme in there. :D

TBH, I can't imagine wearing overalls. I just can't see them as comfortable. Sorry they didn't work out. But hey! The chair looks great!

Although we have tablets, phones, etc. I am actually at my desk on our dinosaur computer, in our office right now! I have to limit myself online and going to the computer helps me. Although I really like our office and we do have a newer computer so I guess I shouldn't call it a dino. My sister did inform me recently that "no one uses a desk top anymore". Humph! Maybe we wouldn't have one if it weren't for the Mr's business, but I like it. I like my great big screen so I can scrutinize Sue's hair and stuff like that! : )

Thanks, Tina!

Our set-up in there isn’t very comfortable, and I love the convenience of my iPad. But sometimes I do miss the dinosaur. If we ever have a separate office again, I think we’ll upgrade everything and use it more. It’s just for paying bills and banking now because I have a phobia of using phones for that. Irrational, I know, the desk computer can be hacked, too! Just a hang-up of mine.

I cannot do internet on my phone. Too small.

I do love overalls-- but they must be proportioned for your body! I have a beautiful adrienne papel walkthru jumpsuit in my closet for "when I lose weight".. but I fear it will still be too short in the waist for me. I am tempted to try it now.. but a little scared lol. Keep trying them-- you will look adorable in the right pair!

I have been using a laptop for work and play-- but with a high end AMOLED 4K screen for my eyes. When I work, I should be at a desk connected to a large screen monitor (or two) but I prefer the ease of working wherever I want. Come fall, i will need to go back to working at a desk.. and I am considering getting an all-in-one computer vs a desktop (ok, it IS a desktop but without the separate computer and monitor). I don't think any of the setups make you a dinosaur-- especially not for work. What makes a computer a dinosaur is when it is outdated and can't work with the current applications, websites and security standards.

Thanks, Funky!

Your last sentence describes ours perfectly. :D

I like the sound of the set-up you’re considering. We are so behind on these things!

I used an all-in-one in the last house-- they have come a long way and what I love most about them is that they eliminate the need for a billion wires. I haven't really shopped them recently-- my old one was a Lenova but I think I'll go HP for the next. I saw a GREAT review for one of the new HPs.

Of course you only really need one if you need the major screen real estate (i do). You can get a great laptop for a very reasonable price these days... especially with the holidays approaching.

Yes, the wires! I hate them! Our computer is sitting on a vintage corner table, with 40 million cords/wires showing underneath. Add that to DH’s cords everywhere (amps, guitars, other music equipment), and it’s a circus in there.

Ok, you’re inspiring me. I need to upgrade. :D

Ours is an all in one and I really like it

Look at it this way-- where do you spend more time in your day? For me, it is bed and the computer (don't I sound like a slug!). I am getting a new mattress very soon too. I have it narrowed down to 2.

Good luck!

We got one last year, spent months researching. Shopping for a new mattress is not fun. Too many choices. Too many reviews. I finally just chose one out of exhaustion.

We’re not thrilled with it, but it’ll have to do for now.

Too bad about the overalls. A (tall, lithe, thin) co-worker wore the most amazing overalls the other day. My body type is none of those things...in my next life.....

Jmck, the hunt is still on, but only in person! :D

IDK if I’d try overalls, but maybe I’d like a front zip jumpsuit. But yeah, not at this weight. We saw a band where the female singer wore a jumpsuit, and i thought it looked fun. Our weekend metereologist also wears jumpsuits, but hers are back zip, and there is no way I’d attempt that.

G, these had a side zipper, and that was awkward enough … a back one, no way! :D
