Unusual Plus Piece: Green Ruffle Jumpsuit

Wednesday May 7, 2008

Sometimes I run into plus pieces that slightly baffle me. Would this piece really work? I'm intrigued. When I first came over to Dorothy Perkins, I thought this polyester wrap one-piece was a sweet summer sundress, but it's actually a shorts jumpsuit. Now a jumpsuit can be pretty daunting, so I'm curious if you'd be willing to check it out and maybe even try it on. It could be a very comfortable option at the beach, and I can imagine that it's pretty light and airy.

Take a look at this Jumpsuit, and then tell me if you would wear it.

I like it and they have my size. I would wear it, but I need wider straps for coverage. Thanks for introducing me to te Dorothy Perkins estore.

I think it would be cute with some pearls perhaps and a strappy espradrille.

The problem with anything like this is how complicated is it when you are in a hurry to visit the ladies room? It looks very cute, but not practical.

Flattering for a plus-size lady and I’d certainly wear it. The price is approx. $90 USD including shipping. More details about the design would be helpful.

I think this is absoluetly gorgeous & i’d wear it in a heartbeat… but as a busty plus size, I wouldn’t like the skinny straps. I’d love it with a little jacket though. When i saw the word “jumpsuit” it conjured up visions of tacky polyester from my childhood … i love this though!

It’s sexy and romantic; definitely not good for all-day wear if you make several stops to the bathroom! It would be great with espadrilles. And the word “jumpsuit” should be illegal in my book.
