I took my overalls to the tailor to be hemmed when I took the Rag & Bone skirt (I also took my Frame Le Garcon jeans in to be shortened), and here is the result. I’m not sure they’re short enough (here they were before), but then if I wear the waist cinched in more and higher on my natural waist, then, they ARE short enough. It’s SOOO hard to get the right pant length for me, I aim for just a hair above my ankle, but since I don’t really have ankles, it’s a challenge LOL, and very dependent on the item sitting EXACTLY right when it’s pinned. I think the most flattering pant length on me is where you can see just above my foot when I sort of have some ankle before it’s all calves…
These overalls are an odd shape on me, to be sure, because my legs aren’t thin. On models, the leg sort of hangs on them, straight, and with lots of room. I like them though, and wear them alot – they wash well, FYI. I prefer them with a heavier shoe, or something with a little height though, so for winter I’ll wear them with my sneakers or clogs and Everlane cropped cashmere sweater (I hope they bring that back actually, I have lots of things now I want to wear cropped cashmere with!!).
I actually prefer the fit of the overalls on you, rather than on the model. On her, she almost looks like she swallowed by them, and they don’t look particularly stylish or fashionable. The hugely baggy legs just don’t look so good to me. If I had just seen them on the Barney’s website I would not have given them a second thought. But on you they look amazing and I even considered buying them, though I don’t know how they would fit me, I don’t really have a need for them in my wardrobe. Thank you for sharing!
I have the everlane cropped cashmere crew in burgundy, size medium, that I would be interested in swapping out for another color (gray/black), if anyone is interested. I love the burgundy, but it’s not the most flattering color against my skin tone… just putting it out there!
thanks joy 🙂 i don’t know who really has a need for overalls LOL – i had pretty much given up on them for me until i saw these – i can’t believe i actually bought them sometimes, but i’m glad i did, i really enjoy them!!
you could put a note in the forums too, they’re not very busy, but someone might see it!
I think the length of the overalls is perfect. It does hang much nicer hemmed than cuffed (but I wouldn’t have known until I saw this, I liked it before too). I think the cuff kind of broke up your leg before so this looks longer and leaner. Cropped cashmere sweater by Everlane?! That sounds right up my alley, how did I miss that before…
This is so freaking cute! Gretchen, you are killing it. xx
Really cute on you!
These look great on you! Unable to find overalls for the odd combo of my petite frame and love of volume, I feel just a little too giddy whenever I see others wearing them so well. Seriously I love your outfit!
thanks jen!! 🙂
