Tina Fey's YSL Jumpsuit: Yea or Nay?

(Ooh, this is going to be a good one!) Is there anything more sartorially polarizing than a jumpsuit these days? People either love 'em or hate 'em. So it's unsurprising that Tina Fey's choice for the Met Costume Institute Ball this past Monday - a strapless Yves St. Laurent silk jumpsuit - has set off a firestorm of criticism.

I gotta say, I think the style is pretty cute on her. The bodice is smashing, and the trousers add a daring element. Except there's one glaring problem: the crotch does not fit! Am I right? I wish it had been tailored more closely to her body. So a big NAY on the fit for me, but I'm going to be bold with a full-out YEA on the silhouette.

Now, I personally don't think I would wear this as a full-length jumpsuit, but modify those trousers into a little pair of shorts for a 50s-style romper? I'd be all over it!

So what do you think, readers: yea or nay? Unleash your venom or show some love for Tina Fey's jumpsuit!

Rompers: Yea or Nay?

The subject of rompers is one that seems to always inspire a passionate response. Women either love them or hate them.

The naysayers proclaim that rompers are juvenile and make it too difficult to use the powder room. I'm a lover of rompers, and I proclaim that they are adorable, retro, and--with the right closures--make it no harder to disemrobe than a pair of pants.

Here's one I made last summer, from the vintage pattern above, which I bought from this lovely Etsy seller. It was inspired by a Betsey Johnson design. I'll definitely be making another one this summer, from the same pattern.

I've also noticed a plethora of rompers for sale at Anthropologie this season. (I have a fatal addiction to Anthro, but since I've been sewing so much, I've defintely reduced the amount of money I give them!)

Just look at this beauty:
Now look at the price tag: $228! Holy smokes. I will definitely be stealing inspiration from this one, though. I love the sweetheart neckline, halter straps, and full shorts.

Here's another gem, at $188:

I'm not usually into pants-style rompers, but this has a very Rosie the Riveter look to me, in a luxurious way (if that makes any sense). I'd like to make a similar one from this Decades of Style pattern:

Now, what say you to rompers: yay or nay?
