Are we really out of ideas now? Summer Jumpsuit Romper Playsuit, 2nd Edition

I think my mom made me one of these.
Hello sailor boy!

These overalls are a thing, all over the interweb, you will have to go look for it, I don't want the link-backs:
mrswongyeo.com/home/beaton-linen-overalls-review

Or perhaps:
https://ralphpink-patterns.com/products/florence-play-suit

This is a classic, and a first sew for a lot of folks:

from the webpage: "If you’re craving a garment that’s the ultimate for summer comfort, sew the Kari romper. This romper has a trapeze silhouette that disguises as a dress in drapey fabrics. Shoulder ties add a playful detail and make for easy fitting—and yes, it has pockets!"

One style to rule them all?

"Very loose-fitting pullover dresses & step in jumpsuit have sleeve & length variations." Does not come with pockets as a part of the pattern.

"The Amy Jumpsuit is comfort and breezy elegance all in one tidy, minimalist package. With a figure-skimming silhouette and ultra-wide, cropped legs, it's got the soul of a floaty slip dress in the body of a jumpsuit you'll never want to take off." Pockets optional, included with pattern.

I know I had one of these that my mom made as a kid in the late 60s. Searching patterns I came up with

Oh, just go search on the term 'baggy linen overalls sewing pattern' and you'll get the idea. Also so many freebies for the self-drafters!

Meanwhile, in real sewing news,  a  link to  Spitalsfield Life: church embroideries and the broderers. You know, skip all the jumpsuits and read this great profile of the ladies who keep the faith shiny.

Jumpsuit Mania: Very photo heavy

If 2018 is known for one thing, I think it's jumpsuits
Cause everyone did one
Or two.


To be fair, this is a reissue of the Simplicity men's. It's been out of print and EXPENSIVE, so I'm grateful. It's a genuinely good and useful pattern.

But there's more.
Possibly too much more.

Friday Patterns

Burda has a lot of jumpsuits and overalls, but this one is different.

True Bias's Yari

Named Patterns has both Amy


and Ronja.
I bought Ronja

Sew House Seven's Burnside 


And Heather at Closet Case now has three

Sallie was from a couple years ago, but two new this year:
The Amy
and the Jenny

Before that, she sewed


Tilly has the Mila

I've sewn this one for the son. It's ...well, kwik and looks like the photo.

I cannot find the Calvin Klein overall pattern photos. I will put that in here when I do. They are super cute and heavy on making them look like a pair of JC Penney's overalls

I know I have missed many of them, but my head is spinning.

I would like to ask you, if you've made a jumpsuit, what were your issues with it in the restroom.
I'm tired of enjoying my clothes until I have to enter a toilet stall or bathroom, and worry about dumping straps in the bowl and the contents of my pockets everywhere.
Comments below.
Waaaaay below.
Because too many photos here:

JUMPSUIT MANIA
Strap in, kids.
And of course, click on them to make them bigger.
Or not.


  Decades has a few (not including rompers)
The Beach pajamas




and the Sweetheart




McQueen for Givenchy

Galliano for Givenchy the season before

I own this one



This pattern is pretty unique. The collar and the raglan sleeves are handsome. 
I just bought one.

It would not be a post about vintage patterns without a Daisy Kingdom name drop.
Or Pauloa. I am collecting them apparently.

Nancy Zieman did two





Jiffy has many many jumpsuits

This should have been the Mamma Mia costume

  
Okay, it's a romper.


This is 1971 in a nutshell


My beloved Pounds Thinner AND Easy Please. In a knit!
Front zippered

I made this one

and this one.

I still want this one. It is almost exactly like the next one, though.
Styling is everything.

And this one too. WilliSmith in my wardrobe NOW



I have an older edition of this pattern. 
There's a children's version


This is the secret sauce that makes this work.

And to sum up, the ones you didn't know you needed, but you do.


Back in the old days, we had to draft our own fun.


Although now you can pick one up a little more straightforwardly
