Thanks everyone! Sorry about taking time to respond - had one DD home from a camp last night and another off to one this morning (and another off tomorrow) so lots of mum time needed!
For all those worried about bathroom issues - hopefully ok on that front - I wore my grey plaid jumpsuit yesterday to work, drank copious amounts of water and tea and had lots of trips to the bathroom - and I was ok. (mine don't have hooks and eyes, unlike yours Karen)The shorter length on this one should make it easier to avoid the floor too.
Cee - thanks for the backup on Australian tea drinking habits!!
Jules - I'll try your iced tea recipe next hot day. I'll have to remember to put ice cube trays in the freezer. I can see it being nice - I drink tea without milk and sugar and sometimes it goes cold in the cup and I still drink it.
Jessikams - I can imagine what you are describing. I don't think it would work on me though - elastic waists don't look good on me. And I have a new beach coverup, though I haven't worn it yet because I haven't ben to the beach yet this summer
Viva and FI- I've heard romper too. Playsuit seems to be what Australian shops call them. I remember reading about them in 50's teen books - sometime they came with a detachable skirt you could put on to be more covered up after, for example, a tennis match.
Anna - yes I really need to think about the tee shirt under options, which got suggested on my other jumpsuit threads too. I have a bit of a poison eye for the look, because I knew someone who kept wearing it, and advocating it, after it went out of fashion in the 90's. But it would make the items more flexible.
