JUMPSUITS!!!!! (And the like! ie….rompers)

I, like so many others, endure the cons of jumpsuit-wearing for my love of their comfort and one-step dressing ability. I just know that going to the bathroom will be an ordeal but I gotta pay to play.

My sewing friend and inspiration Marica of @OverdriveAfter30 on IG (www.maricamitchell.com) has posted and made this pattern a few times and I’ve bookmarked them ALL as inspiration to make.

The pattern is by a Big Four pattern company and the fabric is from a popular craft store that I’m currently boycotting.

I really like this pattern but I would have to make some slight adjustments for me to LOVE it. I don’t have the most defined waist or hips so I’m thinking taking it in a smidge in the waist would help define it for me. I’m also short-waisted but it seems to hit in the right spot thankfully. I love the sleeves and flowy-ness of the pants. The fabric definitely added to the movement. I didn’t add to the pants legs, which I normally do, but it still hit at a decent length for me to wear with heels.
