http://www.dorothyperkins.com/webap..._category_rn=49422&productId=288573&langId=-1
Which should I keep? I'm selling one since they look similar anyway.
And what should I wear with this? I live in a warm country. Im plus size 18.
Thanks for the help!

I'm from Manila. 
Yup I got them from the Dorothy Perkins store here. You have DP in Singapore right? How are the stocks? Here, not all featured in the website can be found. 
And also, what do I wear them with? I'm a plus size US 14-16. I'm also 28 years old.
Am I too old for this?

I think the Ponte will go nicely with all white tops, even with a simple sleeveless top, if you dare. Have fun with it!

so it just came yesterday. I think it's adorable but the fabric is all wrong and so not how I thought it would be. I thought it would be like a fine jersey knit but it's a sheer lingerie material. Completely transparent. I think I may return it. I love the garment as a whole but I don't know if I can make it work with the fabric. I just slipped it on and snapped a few pictures so please tell me what you think. I'm just wearing a cami and spandex shorts underneath so don't pay attention to the outfit, jsut the garment. I didn't think about the outfit, it's just so you can see what it's like. My mom said it's pretty underwear but I "can't wear that in public". What do you think? Can I make it work or should I return it?pinksatin said:I also just ordered the Sparkle and Fade one from Urban Outfitters but it hasn't arrived yet.

p.s. Many apologies for the messy room and I need to clean my mirror. How embarrassing!

Thank you. Sad. I wish it was just a fine jersey. THen it would be so comfy-casual and (IMO) pretty. Yeah. I will probably send it back. SO disappointing.
oh... and where I live it's not over done yet. I think I'm the only person I've seen wearing them so the overdone part doesn't apply to my region. WHich in some ways is pathetic but in other ways it's good because I can get away with more longer.

Rompers are just an AWFUL trend for top tall people like me (sorry to give you such a lovely camel toe image.. haa)
They can work when done right though. Can't completely hate a trend just because there is no way I can wear it

kare2711, you should. the ponte is very cute.
thanks astatine and sophialuv, yeah I think I'll keep the ponte.
I'm lucky because where I am this trend is not yet overdone. Actually nobody wears it yet here. I prob will get a lot of stares when I wear it in public and then few months from now everybody will be wearing it.

maybe where it with a body suit that has thin straps. i think american apparel has something that would be fine under
Anyone know where I could find a similar denim romper? (photo from Lovelylivtyler.com)

I always think of rompers as shorts alternatives to dresses. More like... "I hate wearing dresses, but I'll wear rompers." I don't like rompers that much. Now from the jumpsuits thread, I thought jumpsuits had pant legs BELOW the knees and not above. Well, those jumpsuits above the knees are rompers. It's a way for most to not want to wear short dresses, but I've never liked these personally. Again, I don't hate them like some other trends I've viciously hated on. The logic is still there, though. If jumpsuits are going to be made fashionable, why not rompers too? That's the logic here. It's going to be an uphill battle to convince me that rompers are every bit as fashionable and chic as any other trend or style.
On a lighter note, more feminine styles of rompers are coming about as more recent styling cues are being added. There will probably be some design changes other than what is usually from '90s rompers. I still don't see anything to really convince me that today's rompers are the hottest thing going. I, too, can imagine that taller femmes will want to stay away from rompers. My guess is that if you didn't like rompers from the '90s, you're probably not going going to like rompers today. Almost every style of rompers I've seen aren't all that amazing to me. Try as they might, I don't see this working... at least around my way and among my girl friends.

I think rompers are adorable when they're worn by the right body. Even though I'm short (5'2") they're flattering on me because my legs are longer than my torso. (no offense for people with longer torso!
) I wanna buy a new romper and I'm considering to buy it from AA, but I'm not sure how they fit. The reviews on the online store are so mixed that I don't know what size I should get. Anyone tried any of these? Feedbacks would be appreciated.
