Freshley Overalls in Ultralight Ripstop

The best overalls ever!

Can't say enough good things about these. I have 5other pairs of overalls all different brands, all having just something not perfect. I tried these on and the fit!!! Perfectly fit! And comfortable working in the garden without sticking to me (this is deep south) and pockets! Super pleased.

Don’t recommend the Retooled fit

I’ve been wearing size 18 Freshleys in different iterations for years. All DT needed to do was ease the waist a bit in the larger sizes, but instead in the new plus size fit they fell prey to a common fallacy I think happens when skinny people design for fat people: more fabric. So there’s just… more fabric everywhere (though not much more in the waist, still snug there). The bib is taller and wider, the upper legs are SUPER wide, the buttons at the waist are a good two inches higher. Plus sizes blocks love this idea of fat women having comparatively small waists, but TBH it seems to me a lot of fat girls (me included) are actually fairly paunchy. So, unless you have a small waist and pretty dang thick thighs (I have super chunky legs and I’m swimming in these), if you’re 16 or up I’d give these and any retooled freshleys a miss. Especially in summer heat, it’s just too much unnecessary coverage.

Got a compliment!

I pulled weeds all morning and realized I was late for Costco. So I rushed out in these overalls. Even in its muddy glory, someone came up and said it’s super cute! Love the pockets. The material is a little thin for crawling in the yard. (I also have the canvas version and that fabric is heavy enough). Also the front buckles can get a little squeaky. But all in all, these are my favorite overalls!
