I am making a lycra starstudded jumpsuit RIGHT NOW on my sewing machine and I am going to make you eat your jump-hatin' words!

SJP's jumpsuit looks great. The other two, uh, not so much... however, if I were as stick thin as these ladies, I might be tempted to at least try one on.

they always show these on tall women but every single time I try one on I feel like it's trying to slice me in half down the middle and giving me a wedgie in every possible way - and I'm only 5'8.

I have a theory that if you are stick thin they may look ok. Any size above that and you will be looking like it is maternity ware. I am a size 28, that girl needs to settle down about not being able to fit into a size Zero...

@vwbugirl: To me, even Kate Bosworth looks in the pic like she has bigger hips and thighs(which in Hollywood-bizarro world seems to be a bad thing). The other women just look like fashion victims.

@mariadchacha: See, I classify jumpsuits with shorts as rompers. And I LOVE ME SOME ROMPERS. Long jumpsuits are too much for me to handle, though I think Taylor Momsen looks cute.

RUN AWAY, the fricken jumpsuits can eat your soul!

I still have nightmares from when my mom forced me to wear one that had a huge, sewn-in clown with raggedy hair.

*shivers. relives sartorial trauma.

Other things that With Which Tscheese Cannot Hold Truck:

-Empire-waist everything (GNAAH! NO! I get that some people love these, but I want options that do not make me look like a gestating narwhal, damnit!)

-Weird "non-waist" cinchy parts on things that hit at the widest point of my body, e.g., hips (see above)

-Leggings/Tights That Are A Little Too Sheer Coupled With A Tunic/Dress That Is A Little Too Short, I Am Sure Your Butt Is Extremely Nice But That Fabric Is Very Sheer And You Look Cold

-Hammer Pants

-You Guys, They Put Splenda in Tang Now, It Is Nasty

Oh, God. That poor girl. It sucks to feel bad about not fitting into things in the privacy of your own home or even the semi-privacy of a dressing room, but at work, in front of co-workers?

I'd hand you a tissue if I were there, kid.

Pee issues aside, how does one get thy jumpsuit to stay above the booby line? I am too chubby for such a garment, but I'm curious-- how do you chesty gals keep the girls chaste?

Bring back the Aaliyah dark blue/black flight suit w/ the wife beater (what's the real name of that shirt anyway) underneath with the timbs and sunglasses.

@shorty63136: OMG, call it an undershirt, men's undershirt, or white tank. There is no excuse for this kind of casual misogyny on Jez!

@HanaMaru: it's not really an undershirt though. I mean men's undershirts can be short sleeved t-shirts as well. wifebeater is pretty specific. I've heard 'em called boybeaters too as well.

@LibidinousSlut: so call it a sleeveless undershirt, or use your fucking imagination! This is beyond offensive. I hope my mother doesn't read Jezebel(hi mom!) because my father beat her for over a decade until she risked her life to take her three kids and go be homeless. This kind of casual-cute reference to wife beating by callous hipsters trying to be edgy by mimicking sociopaths really sends her over the edge.

I wore them in the late 70s and early 80s and honestly - they should stay there.

I had a lemon coloured needlecord jumpsuit in the 1980s and later a US marine flying suits and I loved them both. As for the "wrinkled crotch,undefined waist and shapeless legs" you really should spying on me when I take a bath.

Come on, put on the jumpsuit. What are you, chicken? You know you want it. Your parents will never find out. EVERYBODY's doing it.
