I think that one was styled wrong. But had potential. Looks like the model (aka blogger) likes the edgy biker look, and that messed up the proportions a bit for me. The pants rolled up with the boots looks like she was hiding a wide-legged pant that was too short. I think a colorful wide belt would have looked better. But I have seen people in real life at her size look super cute! They probably do not have blogs.

But there are so many types! The uber plunging look only works if you are both very slim and very small busted.

I made a jumpsuit recently - wide- legged (palazzo) , very floaty, from silk fabric. It is fun to wear to go out at night...

In the beginning of the season I purchased 2 prs. of palazzo pants from the Juniors section at Kohl's. I'm less than 5'2" and they come up just above my ankle. I can't imagine what they look like on someone taller (and I wonder how they will wash!)

Height + jumpsuit = perma-wedgie! They can be cute on the right body, but they are all wrong for me. I do not like the strapless ones, though. You are at the whim of one yank, and the wearer often does not wear a bra.

I purchased this jumpsuit 2 years ago and finally got to wear it Christmas 2013. I'm 5'1" and at the time weighed about 175 lbs. I loved it because it hid all my figure flaws and was really comfortable and real easy to wear (of course, I had to get it shortened!)

That does sound awesome.

My only "issue" with these. (Other than being able to find one that looks good on me, lol) is the logistics around using the restroom!

If you're at a residence there's not much of a problem, but out and about.....at restaurants and bars and such, it's got to be difficult to keep all that upper fabric from falling to the floor!

I think this is where those elastic waistbands some in handy. And maybe stick with sleeveless and short sleeves.
