For the first time ever both my teenage son AND daughter have a latest “must have” item of clothing. An all-in-one jumpsuit that has appeared at several parties recently and been swapped around between the boys and the girls. They all want to wear them to the festivals. I can see why. You could wander around in it all day and night – you wouldn’t need to take it off for any reason whatsoever (it’s got zips in all the right places), you could sleep in it, probably even fit another person in it if you wanted to, without anybody noticing.
On the (very cool) website Onepiece.co.uk it has been described as “all about chill out – enjoy a chill out garment you will love more than your mother”. Well, that’s not difficult – sometimes I think my children love dog poo more than their mother.
My son was SO desperate for one he pleaded with me to send an email asking for a sample that I could then blog about. The lovely owner of the company obliged by sending me three to try out – he told me that his dad wears his all the time for gardening – I’m not sure my children (or my friends) would ever speak to me again if I actually wore mine in public, but it was most certainly lovely quality and unbelievably comfortable to wear. They would be fantastic for long plane journey’s though – it’s just like wearing a giant BabyGro….
Here is what we looked like:-
Tinky Winky, Dipsy and Po:-
Teenagers carrying off the look with attitude:-

May 25, 2010I hate to say it but they look great – sort of like a slanket but better!
Family Affairs
May 26, 2010Yes and you could fit ALL your children in it with you at the same time!! Lx

May 25, 2010Hideous! They look similar to the overalls the Finnish students wear when out drinking (http://www.helsinki.fi/jarj/erikeepperi/img/haalarit.jpg)
Family Affairs
May 26, 2010Claire, you are meant to actually LIKE them, being the youngest of all my regular commenters!! Lx

May 25, 2010Personally … I think not, but then I am extremely old. But for parties, festivals etc I suppose they are quite practical.
Unfortunately they remind me of those terrible, terrible mascots that some drunken/mad person designed for the 2012 Olympics.

May 26, 2010You need gorgeous torso that can then expose, tieing suit at waist – which excludes moi Lx
Jo Beaufoix
May 25, 2010Hee hee, you make gorgeous teletubbies. They’re actually quite cool, though I could never pull one off. Fab. 😀
Family Affairs
May 26, 2010Course you could Jo = if I can, anybody can!! (well, yes, actually I can’t either ) Lx
Amanda
May 25, 2010yes, this definitely has a teletubby feel to it! could this be the next snuggie?? (all the rage a couple years back)
Chris
May 26, 2010Babygro………..I say no more but hats off for the pics
Family Affairs

May 26, 2010Hells teeth! What ever next?
Mind you I shared digs at college with a lad from Hawick who wore an “Andy Pandy” boiler suit all the time….!
Family Affairs
May 26, 2010Well, I think the fact that you and I both remember Andy Pandy suggests that we are not quite their target market !! Lx
English Mum
May 26, 2010OMG I nearly wet myself laughing! The teen attitude combined with the jumpsuit is a classic combo! x
Family Affairs
May 26, 2010I know. Just doesn’t work when I am trying to give it some attitude….Lx
Chic Mama
May 26, 2010OMG!! They’re a bit creepy done up….love your comment on twitter than anon bloggers could wear them zipped up.
Love the pictures of your teens though, they look great…could be models- look perfect!
Family Affairs
May 26, 2010Thanks darling – I do think my children are gorgeous – although I note you failed to mention that I too could be a model!! Ha ha. Yup. If I’d had one of those when I was on my Disney trip as an anonymous blogger it would have been perfect Lx

July 14, 2010I’m really to be finally posting online after all these years. There really is no mystery about it, is there? I just dropped by your blog and had to write something. I’m a recent college grad, journalism major if you must know, and I love the art of photography. I’ve got my site up but it’s nothing to brag about yet. None of my stuff’s been posted. Soon as I figure out how to do that, I’ll spend the day posting my best pictures. anyways just thought I’d drop a line. I hope to return with more substantial stuff, stuff you can actually use. SPG

October 29, 2010i absolutly love these! i just checked them out on the website but i’m gutted they cost so much 🙁 I was hoping to buy one for my mum for christmas but being a 18 year old who has school (a levels) and trains 6 times a week with no time for a job, i’ll have to work out some way to get one of these for my mum and treat her for once instead haha! i’ve seen a couple elsewhere but these look the best.
Family Affairs
October 30, 2010Maybe you could write to them and ask for a discount? You never know. They are expensive – particularly for a student – how lucky for your mum that you are already thinking about her Christmas present Lx
Mica
October 31, 2010Hmmm, maybe i could try that, hopefully they’re feeling in the christmas spirit haha fingers crossed 🙂
