I admit, overalls transform bodies into shapeless masses. But it also must be conceded that they are the most comfortable item of clothing in existence.
My husband and I have come to a compromise - overalls are acceptable in one scenario: pregnancy. And so my sole surviving pair of overalls stays hidden deep in my drawer until month three or four when I gleefully don them and practically live in them for the next six months.
These were possibly the most unflattering overalls in existence when a friend passed them on to me: the legs were tapered and there was an excessive amount of roominess in the belly area. I created triangles of woven denim and inserted them into the sides of the legs. With that, plus my nicely rounded belly, they are perfect.
