How do you feel about jumpsuits?

Jumpsuits have not been on my radar at all, but I saw this one online and I kind of like the idea. It seems to be an easier-to-wear version of the maxi dress.

Our wedding anniversary is next week and I have a feeling that DH will want to go somewhere interesting for dinner, as we'll be in London. So I'm thinking that might be an excuse to get it, provided that it fits well!

They are definitely growing on me - I like the one you posted. I think they are best when they are dressy. Very sophisticated. The only thing I wonder about is, uh, using the potty. Reminds me of toilet training one of my girls when she was wearing overalls... it was not pretty

My thoughts: Great that the top doesn't untuck. Looks sleek. Unzipping and sitting topless in the bathroom = uncomfortable. So looks-wise, I'm 100% in favor, and practically, I'm not convinced. The one pictures is gorgeous. For a special occasion? Go for it!

Thumbs up. I love jumpsuits.

Yeah, that top-dragging-on-a-restroom-floor factor is a major drawback for me as well. The look is great; the execution...? Not so sure.

I think the one pictured is the closest thing I'd consider for myself, as I am ultra sensitive to fit in the waist area - and figure flattery. I love the V neck and wrap type design -unique from what I've seen in jumpsuits so far (though I admit to tuning them out most of the time).

More than anything if you try it and FEEL fab you should go for it. Nothing hotter than feeling sexy for a night out in London with the hubs!

If you get one ,the one you pictured is very nice. Stylish, with no sleeves or hoods to have issues with in the potty.

It is all about the fit. I have seen jumpsuits look fabulous on people, and I have seen them as fashion disasters (mostly on myself in dressing rooms!). But when they fit, I think they look very chic, and it would be a perfect outfit for your anniversary in London.

I really enjoy jumpsuits. One-piece dressing is so easy. I don't have trouble with the top dragging in the ladies lounge... but I admit to not liking the cold, because you basically have to undress.

I love the look of them, especially in sleek black like that. I can't get over the potty issues. But then, I have a small bladder and need to go somewhat often.

I really like them and that one looks great. I definitely think you should try it!

And happy anniversary!

In general, I'm a hater, but that's a personal poison eye. They can certainly be stylish. If you're going to go for it, a black one with a nice cut -- like the one you've posted -- is the best bet, I think. It tends to look more modern and avoids some of the late 70s vibe that jumpsuits can sometimes have.

I've worn one in the 70's and loved how it looked but it was a pain when using the restroom. Wearing a cami underneath is a good idea, and never mix jumpsuits and drink.

Mander - I love them. I think they are uber elegant. Plus I think they'd be awesome for nice events. If I could find a great one I would get in a heartbeat!!

I love the look shown, it is sleek and simple and a good look for going out. I do share the restroom concerns already mentioned, but if you are OK with that I would go for it.
