Do you want to achieve an effortless look that is equally perfect for meeting friends for coffee or having cocktails with your co-workers? This extremely versatile jumpsuit is your sartorial solution. BUT not so fast! The key to pulling off a fashionable look, not a frumpy one is to be smart with the type of fabric, print, cut that is chosen. This jumpsuit was made using a solid color eggplant rayon, which moves with the flow of the body nicely; it features a faux wrap shaped into a great V neckline, which creates a slimming effect. For those with a curvy figure, it’s a good idea to avoid fabrics with large patterns and prints and looser fabrics as they can make the frame appear larger. The best fabric is solid colored and smooth to enhance the curves in a natural way. A smooth, tailored look with a great neckline and in neutral colors such as black, gray, and chocolate brown is great on almost any body type and level of formality and can easily be accessorized for a daytime work look or a weekend look. Ladies, take care to make sure your accessories and shoes perfectly complement your jumpsuit as they make or break your jumpsuit. Pairing the outfit with a great pair of heels is another way to lengthen the look of the legs and slim the frame. If your jumpsuit is in a solid color and has a v neckline, you can top it with a sculptured metallic necklace which will most definitely create a stir! click here for this pattern.

Fun Fashion History: Jumpsuit. According to Fashion Revival, the word "jumpsuit" came from the one piece flight suits used by pilots and parachutists during World War II. Harriet Quimby, the first American woman to get a pilot's license and fly across the English channel, wore a satin purple jumpsuit that she designed. During the war, thousands of women followed the trend wearing jumpsuits while working on farms, factories and as air force pilots. This made it more acceptable for pants to be part of women's attire.
Rosie Riveter was another symbol of the working class woman during the war and wore the jumpsuit with her polka dot hair band. The jumpsuit became a bit glamorous in the late 1930s when the accress Katharine Hepburn wore a monogrammed silk jumpsuit in the 1937 film 'Stage Door'.
