Are jumpsuits really coming back in fashion? Michelle Smith at Pretty by Nature seems to think so — and even outlines 5 tips for making the jumpsuit work for you before recommending an all-bamboo jumpsuit: The Elroy Apparel Davidia Jumper, on sale for $126 at Elroy.
My question is simple: Would you wear this eco-friendly, Canadian-made jumpsuit?
The model in the Davidia Jumper above wears it well — but I’m not sure that actually means the Jumper itself wears well. In fact, I’m wondering if the tall thin model with the cool purse and crazy hair — along with her choice not to wear a tank under the plunging neckline of the Jumper — is simply detracting from the un-prettiness of the Jumper itself.
Which is to say — I don’t think I’ll ever be able to pull off this look myself. How about you?

I would try this with either a great scarf around the waist, or with a beautiful cardigan or blazer over it.
Fashion risks are not for the faint of heart ;)

This jumpsuit 100% bamboo, if that helps -- and I agree that a lot of bamboo stuff's v. comfy. I have bamboo towels, socks, T-shirts (blended with organic cotton), and panties, all of which I love --
I agree that most of us can't pull off the look... but I love bamboo cloth! This past Christmas I gave or received gifts of bamboo sheets, socks, pajamas and bathrobes. Usually the bamboo fibers are mixed with a synthetic, so I don't know how much it is helping the environment...
