Jumpuits Anyone jumping on the wagon?
Kim12469 Beginner MT USA Member since 3/27/08 Posts: 2081	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 4/13/11 10:47 AM Ok besides the gorgeous Erica B and her white jumpsuit To Die For, is anyone else considering one? I bought this pattern last year Burda and never got around to it. It seems jumpsuits are big again this year. And while it may not be the best for my figure, I've always loved them. I bought some inexpensive linen blend fabric from Joann's to give this a shot. It's brown on brown stripes, vertical, so it might help elongate me. I think with some high heels it will look cute. I'm not looking for validation cuz I'm doing it, just wondered if anyone else was. ------ http://kimsewsilly.blogspot.com/

I am quite a bit rounder than I was the last time I had one, but would consider one again. ------ Proud parent of a Dwight International School Honour Roll Student

The time I had a little too much to drink and part of my jumpsuit fell in the toilet when going to bathroom, is enought to swear off jumpsuits. lol ------ My grandmother taught me to sew when I was 10, and I've been sewing ever since.

I see Burda has a jumpsuit for maternity wear. I can't imagine that. I was constantly in the bathroom when I was pregnant. ------ http://kimsewsilly.blogspot.com/

It had a soft invisible zipper in the crotch, and was designed to be user-friendly out in the wilderness, what with little shelter and the need to stay mostly clothed most of the time. Anyhow, it makes me wonder if one couldn't use a crotch closure--at least on the looser jumpsuits--something like the snap tape they they put on babies' clothing. Such an innovation would certain help keep your jumpsuit from falling into the toilet!

I was debating making a semi-sheer one to cover a swimsuit. . .thoughts? Either way, I think they are super cute and perfect for summer!!
