 Poster: A snowHead
|
This is one for the ladies. Fed up with hitching up my old salopettes (I lost a bit of weight) I splurged out on a new pair today. They are simply wonderful and fantastically comfortable.
They are made by Poivre Blanc (I've never heard of them). Very stylish and high comfortable waist. The secret ingredient is the tiniest amount of lycra which makes them both flattering (if there is such a thing as flattering salopettes) and comfortable. They aren't cheap £128, but if you go twice a season as I do then comfort is top priorty. They come up small in sizes so don't worry going up a size.
There, that is my recommendation of the day.  I'm looking forward to testing them out next weekend in Val d.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

minx, Ah - not local to you. There's a tiny shop called Sno-Gear ( www.sno-gear.co.uk ) near me just outside Henley on Thames. They sell and hire stuff and are very popular, but it's a one off shop.
I expect they must be available elsewhere too, they really are lovely!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

About 31.5" (approx 80 cm). It's sad I know, but I've tried them on with my boots . On me (I am 5'6") they are just right, but if you were say 5.4" you might find them too long.
I am a size 12 but needed an Large size. The owner said the sizes came up small and they do so if you were normally a Medium then you'd need to go up to a Large (well I did!).
Hope this helps.

Beverley, thanks but boo  I despair of finding reasonably priced girlies' salopettes that are properly long and don't cost me an arm and 2 legs

samharris, Sorry about that. I would mention if anyone else likes the sound of them that they are quite close fitting but because of the added lycra you can bend and move around freely and not feel restricted.
I have a friend who measures up to 5'1" and has to turn up the bottoms of her childrens size salopettes!
